Could your please change the usages of the images first to the new versions? Thank you! --ALE! ¿…? 15:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

In the future, please list supersession requests at COM:DEL/S. Yonatan ^talk 03:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

From the looks of it, entries there never get deleted. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 03:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

We do have a bit of a backlog problem. This is mostly due to the fact that we have to manually replace the old versions of the files with the new versions of the files wherever they're used (sometimes on many pages in many wikipedias). If you post it to COM:DEL and it's used in many places, it may take a while for it to be closed as well. Yonatan ^talk 03:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Southern Tier Expressway

Ever thought about creating an Shield Image for the Southern Tier Expwy? (I-86/NY 17) They are regularly posted along with the I-86/NY 17 shields along the route, would it be possible for you to make one? Pictures of the green and white shield can be found on: http://www.teresco.org/pics/alaska-20010606-30/06-ste.html (2nd picture, 5th picture)

(-Ngs61 March 03, 2008 2:53 pm)

I may give this a try when I have some more free time. Someone uploaded a pretty high-quality picture of the shield and put it on the NY 17 article, so I should be able to make it. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 04:15, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Florida 24A

Hey, I noticed you fixed my attempt at making , and i screwed up again on . Could you help me with this problem in Inkscape? This only happens whenever I create a textbox, this black-out does not occur when I simply change a template and convert to path. Any advice would be a huge help, and I could begin making shields in large quantities. (and stop uploading bad shields that create more work for you) Thanks! Brandonrush (talk) 20:23, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey. When I fixed the Arkansas 23S shield, I noticed that the black boxes were caused by what Inkscape calls "flowed text". If you convert the text to path by clicking on the text, then selecting "Path > Object to Path", the black boxes will go away and the text will render as intended. Hope that helps. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 04:12, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Success! In these selfish times, it is very refreshing to see one take time to help another. Thanks a ton! Brandonrush (talk) 17:13, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

No problem, happy to help. =) --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 17:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] I'm confused

Hi, TMF. I don't quite understand your edit summary here; can you explain? Powers (talk) 20:20, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I dunno...at the time I was going through the category, the shield just looked out of place with the pictures. However, I looked through some of the subcategories of state highways in New York, and it looks like someone added shields to those categories so I suppose it's fine to include it. It would probably be better in just the "Parkways in New York" category; although the LOSP is technically a state highway, the state highway category generally deals with numbered routes only. That's just my opinion, though, and probably doesn't have any backing in either logic nor Commons practice. =) --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 04:56, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm rather clueless on that front too, so I understand. =) Powers (talk) 23:27, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] MTF and SVGs...

Hey there,

I would like to inquire on how you keep your text properly formatted on your maps. For example, your map of NY 375 has all the cities in the right place, and is formatted properly when they are converted to PNGs. As you may have seen, I seem to be having troubles somewhere. Is there possibly a step I'm missing somewhere? 25or6to4 (talk) 06:19, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I add all of my text in Inkscape using its text tool. I've never had any luck with adding text in QGIS. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 00:09, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
