Holy moly, that's a neat looking user page!

Hi there, would you mind if I steal borrow a bunch of the code you wrote for your user pages? I really like the way you organized your user details, and thought I might give it a go. --GoodDamon 18:17, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's not as pretty as yours yet -- no animation, for instance -- but I think you can see where I'm going with it. Come have a look! --GoodDamon 05:16, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

This is for all your awesome work, creating and improving Wikipedia's images (especially icons), and for always being so willing to help. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Rocket000 08:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

clin d'oeil Thanks back at you ! > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 12:34, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm a Wikigraphist of the Graphic Lab, from which you can request image improvement.
(new annoucement)
Hello, and many thanks for the good work you and DTR do on the GL !
I seen you made a template {{Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/announcement}}, that you have to paste in all wikigraphist talk page.
I think a good idea may be to :
  1. use "..../annoucement" like a "Graphic Lab Post", one page to talk about the current issues, changes, graphic news, new standards/guidelines, what new on the other Labs, etc.
  2. use to spread the news. By example such show on the right.
this, of course, only when big news or standards appeared, needing to quickly spread the news, and only for one or two week.

I was planning to make something like {{Signpost-subscription}} for Graphic News, like the upcoming next release of Inkscape (although I'm not too sure how it would work...), but the idea of putting it on {{User Wikigraphist}} is a good idea. --Dave the Rave (DTR)talk 14:57, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I also think so. After, I think you can choice yourself (better than I can) the best way and words to do it (i.e. : new annoucement, or "last annoucement", or "last news", "last GL-signpost", etc.) Yug 06:16, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Adding comment

How do you add a comment when you upload an image to Commons?

I'm sorry I don't quite understand what you mean, could you try and explain it again ? > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 15:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I mean...in the version history of a file you can see a table, where one column is called "Comment", how do you add it? For example, that Pakistan emblem, the comment is "text". Hope you understand what I mean. --Shandristhe azylean 19:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Btrieve image

Heya Rugby. I think it's great you are converting diagrams to vector. I've switched that fair use diagram to Cc-by-2.0, and put back your images. However, I need you to switch that license on commons to Cc-by-2.0 and acknowledge where you got the info from, as it's not entirely honest to say that it was all your work, or all my work. It came straight from a manual, I only did the most minute changes. If you could do that, it would be great. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:55, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

No probs. I think you do great work, btw. Just be careful on the sourcing. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

The width of the Greenhouse Gases coloring was converted incorrectly, and hence is wrong. Dragons flight 03:49, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Map

Thanks for creating the London Midland maps. One thing: can you fix the spelling of Rugeley in Image:London Midland City.svg? (There's an "e" missing at the moment.) --RFBailey 15:25, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
