image:Indian roundel.png has now become redundant with image:IAF-roundel.svg. Would you have any objections if I deleted the png version? Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:03, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Electoral map.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the ((GFDL-self)) tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as ((Non-free fair use in|article name)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 21:22, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mysid - saw you'd had a bit of difficulty linking Bark to a category page at commons - the format to use is ((commonscat|Bark)) - MPF 13:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Mysid, thanks for checking the ES page for NPOV. I've added references to cover your citation request. I'm a bit uncomfortable about describing it as "rare"; it certainly is in its severe form but in Sweden figures of 2-5% of the population are given (and some sources claim even higher, though this seems to me to be unverified) - stats are in the main text. Couldn't think of a better way of putting it at present though, so have left it as it stands. Hyperman 42 01:22, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Mysid! Are you sure about the speedy delete? I used google and it returned a lot of search results. Would you mind investigating it a bit further. I'm at work and can't abuse Wikipedia hehe. Sarg 12:08, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mysid,
I have noticed that your Qwerty.svg image actually depicts a *104* key keyboard which misses AltGr (and is thus 103 :)). Could you please correct this? The image is otherwise very well done. --Gennaro Prota (talk) 17:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I thought the CIA map was fair use, rather than public domain, so there's no automatic reason to prefer the GFDL version. However, I do prefer the GFDL map, as it shows only what is relevant to the article - the location of the city within Gabon - and does not require the reader to search for Libreville among many other towns. The GFDL map also has the advantage that it is part of a series used on most other articles on cities in Gabon, and indeed across Africa. Warofdreams talk 00:09, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Nice job my friend, you've drawn them nice, how do you do it by the way? well compliments and keep up the good work! greetings --Makedonia 19:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Just as an FYI, it was Arithmomaniac38 who removed content in this edit from Qatar, not User:Gsklee as you said on this edit comment. Let me know something I can do to help on the article - I've been primarily watching vandalism and NPOV on the article. (You can respond on here or my talk page) --Matt 12:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Mysid,
the reply is on my talk page. I thought to leave you a notice :) —Gennaro Prota•Talk 13:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I know you've done a lot of great work creating SVGs. As I'm just getting started creating SVGs for Wikipedia, I have a couple questions.
First, do you know of a way to make multilingual text labels in an SVG? I'm making a map of Sudan which will eventually be uploaded to the Commons, and it would be nice to make it so that English labels will show up if the image is used on the English Wikipedia and German labels will show up if the image is used on the German Wikipedia. (I've asked this question at Commons talk:Transition to SVG, but I'm not sure if that was the right place, and I'm not sure when I'll get a reply.) If there isn't a nice way to make multilingual SVGs, then I think I'll just make text labels in several languages and set the "style" attribute of all but one language to "display:none". This way a speaker of a different language can just change two style attributes and get a differently labeled map.
My second question is whether there is some documentation somewhere that gives a list of what fonts are installed on the Wikipedia servers, so that I know what I have to work with in SVGs. It would also be nice to have a guide to Wikipedia's Unicode support in SVGs. For example, I want to include an H with a cedilla in my text labels (as in AL BA?R AL A?MAR), but I've tried both U+1E28, which doesn't show up at all on Wikipedia, and an H followed by U+0327, which just shows up as a normal H. I've thought about converting the text to a path, but that destroys the editability of the label.
If you can help me with either of these, that would be fantastic. Otherwise, perhaps you know of a better place to ask. —Bkell 19:43, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
in the beginning? I just noticed there's such a tag, and though it might be of help.) As for multilingual SVG's – they would be a great thing to have. I don't know how they could be implemented in Wikipedia, though. The style tag is a good idea, but can't be modified when included in different articles. –Mysid(t) 06:54, 24 May 2006 (UTC)Thanks for that contribution. Much better!

Hi Mysid,
just noticed (from validating my talk page) that your signature code uses orange
as attribute for the font element. I thought you might want to change it to #ffa500
for strict compliance. —Gennaro Prota•Talk 12:18, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Empire strikes back 2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 22:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Clams are certainly edible (not the shell though) and can be very tasty! The organism inside is completely biodegradeable, but the shell can last astronomically long times without being disintegrated. •USER•ADAM THE ATOM•TALK• 08:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I've tagged this image with a no license tag. The original tag you placed, ((gfdl-self)) was inappropriate. You may not be aware; redrawing a work yourself does not grant you rights to release it under gfdl. If this were the case, then anyone could take any logo of any sports team for example and create their own line of logo items, making a bunch of money in the process. In cases such as these, the original copyright holder retains rights. I tried to establish what the copyrights were of this particular image, but the closest I came was [1]. I'm hoping you can determine what the copyright status of this image is. --Durin 15:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I just wanted to inform you (as I was advised to do [2]) that the album artwork: Giant-alien-force-cover.png does not coincide with the album artwork displayed on the official homepage of the artist [3]. No articles in the english wikipedia link to the image any longer and I have marked it for deletion.

Thanks for uploading Image:3db.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Hey Mysid:
Since I do not speak/read so much as 100 words of German, I was wondering if you may have heard of the OTHER Walter Steffenses, which include a track and field star and a possible Naval or Socialist hero from the Volksmarine... Just trying to expand the "Naval History" section of the English wikipedia when I came across the composer and the athlete.
Cheers:

Thanks! I searched using Wikipedia-search, Google, and Yahoo but they didn't turn up any page on Notability.

Since you seem to be well-versed on the subject ([4] and particularly [5]), would you mind also expanding the coverage of the physical process of disc writing (perhaps at optical disc authoring, on whose talk page I made a request for it)? The CD article talks a bit about CD-Rs and -RWs, and the DVD-R/DVD+R/etc. articles give very brief descriptions of the specific dyes and such, but I can't find any general/central description of the process(es). Thanks! --Tardis 17:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
I read your article on RTTY and I wanted to have more information on this stuff. Actually I am trying to developp a small software to decode RTTY messages and I had a few questions to ask you.
1 : How is the message coded ? I mean I understand the global codage with two frequencies and the fact that each character are coded with 5 bits (using the Baudot code). But how the decoder knows when the message is starting ? I mean if it loses one bit how it can not shift all the message ? Is is any "starting" code at the beginning of the message ? Are there also a starting code and stop code at the beginning and the end of each group of five bits?
2 : How did you generate the signal avaiable on Wiki?
Thanks for you help, I am looking forward hearing from you soon.
You can write me at rodolphe.ardant "~at~" gmail.com

Hi Mysid!
I just spotted your change to my userpage of the gif image to the newer svg one. I have just been through my talk pages and archives to remove others. I don't know if you are engaged in clearing all uses of the image out? But if so note that User:Yorkshire Phoenix (194.203.110.127) used the image in his talk page signature when leaving messages. He was a prolific writer, so you will find a considerable amount of multiple entries on a large number of separate talk pages. His work currently has him overseas, in a hot and dusty country, so he may be off-line for a few months. Richard Harvey 11:45, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
