Hey, you changed the template ifc to removeborders, however that one does not seem to exist? could you take a look please and put up the correct template or fix any errors with the template itself? Basically the image needs to have its frame removed, that's all. cheers Gryffindor 18:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

no problem. I am not too familiar with the templates, so I thought I'd better ask you first. Thanks for helping out in cleanups :-) Gryffindor 18:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. The topic is a bit difficult to explain because of Copyright. If you have an image with a frame, it is not necessarily public domain in the legal sense because it does not just depict the work itself. It means someone took a picture of a painting that is in the public domain. However only the image itself can be in the public domain, but if it is shown with a frame, then we have a problem. For example this image Image:Paris-Notre- Dame-tresor-cardinal.jpg, is it completely in public domain because of the painting, but what about the person who took it? Many will argue about this. Basically the image we are talking about came from a webpage. By removing the frame, we can safely say it is completely in the public domain (given that we know the painter and the date the work was created). I deleted the original with the frames in order to avoid any problems with copyright and save up on storage space for the Commons as well. I suppose it is not always necessary, but in this case I did not see anything wrong. Gryffindor 20:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Did an edited version get deleted? In that case I have to apologise, it must have been a mistake. Of course should edited versions (such as without frame) not necessarily need to be deleted (unless they were really bad), as they could serve as the basis for further work if necessary. Maybe there is a way to restore that one version? I think bureaucrats can do that only... Gryffindor 10:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is het nodig om overal te crossposten? Ik heb al geantwoord op Commons:De Kroeg en ik stel voor dat we de discussie daar houden. -- Bryan (talk to me) 14:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ayelie. I don't know if you'll get this message first, but I've left a message on your enwiki talk about using a bot. Thanks, Sceptre 14:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Flag of Egypt 1972.svg

[edit]

The Arabic text in the scroll held by the "Hawk of Qureish" in that image reads اتحاد الجمهوريات العربية, ittiħād al-jumhūriyyāt al-`arabiyya, i.e. the Federation (literally "Union") of Arab Republics — in a quasi-Kufic script, with a very ornamental letter dal د, as I already wrote on the image description page about four months ago. AnonMoos 12:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You could just use a generic pseudo-Kufi font, like I did on Image:Palestine COA.svg... AnonMoos 13:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC) --[reply]

New version of imag

[edit]

The new version of Image:Flag of Egypt 1972.svg is pretty good, except that you didn't truly "curve" the text -- instead you just rotated each letter (or sequence of connected letters) at a slightly different angle. The text in Image:Palestine COA.svg is truly bent into a curve (including the shapes of each individual letters), and if they were to look closely at the two images, someone who knows Arabic could definitely tell the difference...

SVG Asteroid Symbols

[edit]

I really like your SVG "redraws" of James Hilton's scans of B.A. Gould's sketches of asteroid symbols. I note that on some of the SVG's you're using PD-old and others PD-user. I can understand the confusion, as my earlier attempt to describe them accurately indicates the cumbersome pedigree of these images. Since it is clear you wish your own contribution to be PD, would it make sense to use this, admittedly awkward, license: 

In so far as this work may contain any original work of my own, I, [[User:Editor at Large|Editor at Large]], hereby publish it under the following license:
{{PD-self}}
This work is based on James Hilton's scans of B.A. Gould's sketches.  [[:en:Benjamin Apthorp Gould | B.A. Gould]] died in 1896:
{{PD-Art}}

If you're curious as to what that would look like, you can see an example here. Thoughts? —RP88 04:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
