[edit] Image of Mesa Verde
Hi, you uploaded the picture Image:Mesa verde cliff palace close.jpg which has both a copyright sign and cc-commons license. Can you please correct that? --Huebi 14:03, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] U.S. Flags
Hi! I just noticed your changes on the U.S. flags. There's some things you should pay regard to:
- I think the correct licence tag for the flags is {{PD-old}}
- SVG graphics should always be large-sized, and - when possible - created with a text editor; that keeps file sizes small and source codes comprehensive. (Adobe Illustrator and other programs add tons of superfluous code to the file, and convert exact numbers to approximated versions.) See [1] for a tutorial. Please apply your desired changes to dbenbenn's flag versions
- You've uploaded some flags that were already present in the commons. Please go through Category:Historical flags of the United States and add {{Duplicate}} to the concerned files. Thanks! --Pumbaa 02:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] historical US flags
Hi Jacobolus. Do you have a source for the star positions on the old US flags? For example, your Image:US flag 32 stars.svg is different from Image:US 32 Star Flag.svg, but neither version cites a source so bystanders like me can't tell which is more accurate! Thanks, User:dbenbenn 18:11, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- I got star patterns here, at fotw. FOTW tends to be pretty accurate. It would be possible to do all the historical flags in a text editor, but it would take a fair amount of work. There doesn't seem to be too much advantage... the Illustrator versions are accurate to 7 decimal places, and the total size is still only 40 k, 25 k of which is an embedded thumbnail.

- I agree that FOTW is usually trustworthy, but they don't seem to have much information about old US flags. For example, the 32 star flag just has a picture, no actual specification. In your version, Image:US flag 32 stars.svg, the stars are significantly smaller than in FOTW's picture. There's no need to worry about being accurate to 7 decimal places if you don't have an exact source in the first place! User:dbenbenn 04:55, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Palenque Houses.jpg
Hi. I have slightly color enhanced your picture Image:Palenque Houses.jpg, to make it clearer, I hope. If you don't like it, feel free to revert. Regards. Zanaq 17:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that enhancement makes the image decidedly worse. The image tends towards the dark side, because the scene was like that. Its contrast could potentially be tweaked a bit, but you way overdid it. On a properly calibrated monitor, the original is plenty clear, in my eyes. --Jacobolus 23:27, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

- I don't mind that you modify the photo. My concern is that the best possible version be used on wikimedia projects. At the moment that version is the original. --Jacobolus 04:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Achetes toi une paire de lunette !!!
Tu n'a pas vu que j'avais remis ta photo originale. Reverter ta propre image pour remettre une autre identique, il fallait le faire et tu l'as fait. Fait la comparaison entre les deux images ! Je te prie de ne plus m'adresser la parole.-- Bertrand GRONDIN → (écrire) 05:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
