You need to Respect the license limitations on images you arbitrarily decide to amend[edit]

I notice you have unilaterally took it upon yourself to replace the work of other Wikipedia users by taking the images (of signatures) they have taken time and made an effort to produce and substituting those images with your own computer generated tracings of those images.

Firstly, I do not see why you deem it fit to override the work of others and replace it with your own without even opening a discussion about substitution (such arbitrary changes could amount to vandalism).

Secondly, you are breaching some of the copyright licenses on the images you produce. I, for example, uploaded two signatures for the benefit of the Wikipedia Community - Charles Dickens & Robert Burns. I created those images from original documents I own. I released them to the Wikipedia community with a limited license - i.e. if they are changed/modified in any way, then the origin must be referenced. You have changed them and have not referenced the origin.

Thirdly, some people like to see the original signatures of the historical figures in question. Have you once opened a discussion about your changes?

I suggest you go back and look at every license for every signature images you have amended and see if your new computer (Illustrator) image correctly complies with the terms of the license under which such image was released.

Your alterations of my work without respecting the limited license under which those images were released is a breach of copyright. I suggest you fix them immediately. I shall be reporting your actions and breaches.

File:Marco Rubio, Official Portrait, 112th Congress.jpg[edit]

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Help to trace signatures and convert into SVG format[edit]

I see that you have created and digitized the signature of Manmohan Singh. Could you do the same for A. K. Antony. His signature is given here at Indian Autographs. The link to the signature is here (http://www.indianautographs.com/productdetail-118377.html). I do not know how you do this but I request a favor from you on creating this. I will be grateful. Thanks!

Would love your help on this. my email; kentallard4464@yahoo.com in case I can't find my way back to this page. phone; 716-553-3426

Update Cong. Rokita Photo Please[edit]

Hello Connormah,

     Can you please update the photo that is being used as Congressman Todd Rokita's photo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Rokita)

That is not his official Congressional photo (though it may have been at one time). The current official photo is (http://www.memberguide.gpo.gov/PictorialImages/113_RP_IN_4_Rokita_Todd.jpg) and can be verified here: http://www.memberguide.gpoaccess.gov/#top. I do have a higher res version of the photo which I uploaded here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Congressman_Todd_Rokita_Official_Photo.jpg.

Thank you very much for your help,

University of Michigan Athletics Logo[edit]

Hi Connormah, Would you please update the image used for the University of Michigan Athletics? The design was updated a few years ago, and the "split-M" as it was known was replaced with the "block-M" used today. <LINK> Thank you, Scott Curtis

Hitler's signature[edit]

Hello Connormah! Could you turn Hitler's signature in the fourth image (https://www.alexautographs.com/auction-lot/adolf-hitler_4614F03965) into a vectorized SVG, please? There is no really useful SVG of his signature on Wikimedia. File:Hitler Signature2.svg is sloppily written. File:Hitler signature.svg lacks a source. File:Hitler’s signature (1944).svg was created with an autopen. --Friedolf (talk) 01:08, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

U.S. Senator signatures[edit]

Hey Connormah, this pdf has many signatures of U.S. Senators in it, many of which have not been uploaded to Wikimedia. I noticed that you have uploaded many SVG signatures of notable people, and could you do the same for the senators in this document as well. Thanks. -- Politicsfan4 (talk) 19:57, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
