[edit] "PD-self, which conflicts with PD-shape"

Theoretically they might conflict, but a lot people hedge their bets ("probably this could be covered by PD-shape, but if not, I declare it PD-self just in case")... AnonMoos (talk) 18:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:Pioneers_pin.svg and File:Pioneers_pin_rs.svg

Dear Quibik, thank you a lot for fixing the code in both of the images. You made the code valid and at the same time, significantly reduced file size. I am by no means familiar with editing svg files using text editor (notebook), but I'd like to learn the way you did it. Could you possible explain how you did that, or suggest something for me to read instead? E.g. what to look for, what is redundant and what can be safely removed from the source code. Thanks again. --Ahnode (talk) 21:15, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I'll gladly help you, but unfortunately I'm a bit busy at the moment. So, if you don't mind, I will write up a mini-HOWTO or something like that for you in the weekend. Before that, you could fill me in with some details about your existing knowledge on the topic. For example – how familiar are you with the the SVG format, XML syntax or CSS? —Quibik (talk) 19:32, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh absolutely, take your time, it will be great to learn. I started drawing about a year and a half ago, but it wasn't until recently that I have actually looked inside a code, due to some Cyrillic alphabet rendering problems. So I have a very basic understanding of it. Now that I know what else can be done, I will read more about them. --Ahnode (talk) 20:53, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
