Image sizes

No need to apologize - I used to do it ALL the time. --David Shankbone 01:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can, however, adjust image sizes if they are way too big or way too small; but it's rare. --David Shankbone 01:03, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

Hi there. There have been some concerns raised that your username containing the word 'Wikipedia' might be contrary to the username policy. There is a discussion at Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/User_names#Editwikipediausername - you are invited to comment. -- zzuuzz (talk) 01:29, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, and I can assure you you won't be accused of sockpuppetry. There is a template available for occasions like this, you can find it at {{UsernameConcern}} (see also {{UsernameDiscussion}} and {{UsernameBlocked}}). They contain some useful links and explanations. -- zzuuzz (talk) 03:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Editwikipediausername" to "Anameofmyveryown"

  • A changename request has been submitted at WP:CHU to change "Editwikipediausername" to "Anameofmyveryown". The latter name has been checked under WP:U and Special:Listusers and is believed to be non-lengthy (16 characters), non-misleading, non-disruptive, non-promotional and non-offensive. I don't know how long that change will take to process. Regards, Editwikipediausername 17:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flood Maps

Thanks for the great maps, and everything you have done to improve the article 2007 United Kingdom floods. Brilliant work.

Although, please could you upload Image:English counties flood damage July 24 2007.png, Image:Scottish counties flood damage July 24 2007.png, Image:Northern Ireland districts flood damage July 24 2007.png and Image:Welsh principal areas flood damage July 24 2007.png to Wikimedia Commons, so that all the Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects can use them? They should be titled the same as their Wikipedia counterparts, and then should be added them to commons:2007 United Kingdom floods. The Wikipedia versions should then be flagged with {{subst:ncd}}.

For future reference, with all the free images you upload, could you always upload them to Commons? It just terns out a lot easier that way, for lots of reasons. — Jack · talk · 03:12, Monday, 30 July 2007

No probs, will comply. Although could I ask for a few days' grace, say until Saturday? It's just that I'm juggling four very important non-Wikipedia things at the moment, and scheduling is a nightmare. Kind regards, Anameofmyveryown 01:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
:) No problem. No need to rush, there is no deadline! — Jack · talk · 23:43, Tuesday, 31 July 2007

SVG use

Hi, I saw your further comments at Talk:Scalable Vector Graphics. There are many tools that can be used to edit SVGs, see this list. I personally use and recommend Inkscape, which is free and available for Unix, Win32 and MacOS. I hope this is helpful. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 20:31, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great maps!

Hello there,

I have fixed the Northern Ireland infobox map per your request! I hope it is well recieved!... You yourself have also done some great maps. I was wondering what software you used, and if you were keen on collaborating (or even just advising) on any maps in the future? Hope all is well, Jza84 23:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
