I was wondering if I could be cheeky enough to ask if you'd be willing and able to do the same for File:County Flag of Tyne & Wear.png? There are loads of English county flags that need SVG conversion, but this one is probably the easiest. I'd be very greatful, and won't ask again! :S Jza84 (talk) 15:00, 24 December 2010 (UTC) Hi Jza84. Request to your heart's content! I have no problem as long as you don't mind my time frame, since I tend to have a backlog most of the time. However, simple requests can be done quickly. This one will be done by tomorrow. Best regards and happy holidays! -- Orionist ★ talk 12:26, 26 December 2010 (UTC) Hi, and thanks for getting back to me. No problem with the time frame at all, I'm just greatful that we're raising the standard for our readers. Thanks again and happy holidays also. Jza84 (talk) 12:49, 26 December 2010 (UTC) Done as promised: File:County Flag of Tyne & Wear.svg. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 12:30, 27 December 2010 (UTC) Very kindly done. Thanks again and happy 2011 :) Jza84 (talk) 14:54, 28 December 2010 (UTC) could you visit the AFD and elaborate please? I "want" to keep the turtle image! I'm sensitive to both the appearance and substance of blowing off copyright. That said, I really don't think this thing is questionable morally or in liability. And I think it would be a mistake to not allow at least fair use (but my impression is the rules types won't allow it). They will say it's not "nescessary" (crucial as opposed to thoughtful and additive) and not really consider the sliding scale of usefulness versus amount of damage done (I really think I could put that pic in a coffee table book and be safe). If we have misunderstood de minimus (I just jumpd to thinking it meant like the laptop screens in the airplane photo), then please upgrade our thinking. Obviously surviving a Commons AFD would be most helpful to me. and actually I agree that the design AS A DESIGN, while seen is not as important as the sign and it's context. I can show more blown up things, like with sign only, or even design only, in other articles. So maybe there is something here we are missing. Would really apprecaite your sophistication (not just for this pic, which I LOVE, but also for the issue and our future benefit.)

Best, MarmadukePercy (talk) 11:11, 30 January 2011 (UTC) No problem! Thanks for the nice note! -- Orionist ★ talk 12:35, 30 January 2011 (UTC) SVG flag request Hi Orionist, Just wondered if you'd be willing and able to redraw File:County Flag of Merseyside.png as an SVG? If so, then it would be more stylistically correct to use crowns derived from this version (it is a little cruder, but uses crowns that appear more precisely on the corresponding coat of arms). I'd be very greatful if you could do this one (there's no immediate rush). Jza84 (talk) 01:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC) Hi Jza84, sure, I'll do it in the coming week. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 21:45, 11 February 2011 (UTC) Done as promised: File:County Flag of Merseyside.svg. There could be very slight deviations as I regularized the shapes. I hope you like it. Regards! -- Orionist ★ talk 12:43, 23 February 2011 (UTC) Wow! It's perfect! Just like the official version and the coat of arms. Great work! Jza84 (talk) 13:20, 23 February 2011 (UTC) File:POL Gdynia COA.svg Hey! You uploaded incorrect Gdynia Coat of Arms - please look at bottom fish on tail. LeinaD dyskusja 23:07, 18 February 2011 (UTC) Ah! Thanks for catching that! I don't know how it escaped me (both puns intended :P). It's fixed now. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 00:06, 19 February 2011 (UTC) File:DYK Tutorial.pdf I have a good knowledge of many aspects of PostScript (see Category:Generated by PostScript), but I'm really not a big PowerPoint or Desktop Publishing type, sorry, and I never heard of Scribus before (though "Scribus 1.3.3.7" sounds 'Leet... ). -- AnonMoos (talk) 03:45, 19 February 2011 (UTC) File:St_Michael_logo.svg   File:St_Michael_logo.svg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not.

Several months before, you helped me remove the watermark from some images. Recently, I uploaded two new images (File:Kapoor IIFA10.jpg & File:KareenaatIIFA10.jpg) and I was wondering if you could do the same for me. I would really appreciate it if you could help me out with this. Please and thank you. Regards -- Bollywood Dreamz talk 19:49, 24 April 2011 (UTC) Hello Bollywood Dreamz. I'll be busy for a few days, but I'll try to fit these in my next week's schedule. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 17:46, 27 April 2011 (UTC) Uploading a photo Hi Orionist. As you have helped me before, I was wondering if could bother you again. A photo I once uploaded of Mordechai Rotenberg which I used with the permission of his family was deleted. He has now sent me an explicit e-mail authorizing its use. How do I go about restoring it or uploading it again?--Gilabrand (talk) 07:20, 26 April 2011 (UTC) Black line Hi Orionist, Just wondered if you could remove the black line around the border of File:County Flag of Greater Manchester.svg, so that it matches File:County Flag of Greater Manchester.png? Reason being that this seems to be the commonest format and like that which is being sold and flown. Hope you can help, Jza84 (talk) 06:39, 21 June 2011 (UTC) Tip: Categorizing images Hello, Orionist! Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them. Here's how: 1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense: 2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page. [[Category:Category name]] For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code: [[Category:Astronomical diagrams]] [[Category:Comets]] This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets". When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations"). Pro-tip: The CommonSense tool can help you find the best category for your image. Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.
