User talk:Paulscrawl

Hi! I practically live on the English language Wikipedia. I won't be checking this page very often, if at all: I just search and upload images occasionally. Please leave messages on my Talk page at Wikipedia, as I can't check this site regularly.

Go now to my Wikipedia Userpage to learn more about me and what I'm up to, or go to my Wikipedia Talk page to leave a message. I check it daily.

I especially welcome email, too: the "E-mail this user" link is on the left-hand side of those pages, right under the "Toolbox" menu. Click away and talk to you soon! -- Paulscrawl (talk) 01:59, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kept of course! Thanks for uploading the chart! I all forgot about the website!

Thanks for your email! I updated the file and changed the license from non-commercial (which is not allowed on Commons) to public domain. The graph should be fine now, the other template is just a small request to upload those graphs in the .svg format, if possible. That's all. Best, --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 05:00, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please use SVG

Thank you for uploading some images! Did you know that Wikimedia Commons recommends the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format for certain types of images? Scalable Vector Graphics are designed to look appropriate at any scale, and SVG images are easier to modify and translate, helping Wikimedia to distribute knowledge to all of the world. A lot of modern programs support SVG export. If you encountered problems or have questions, don't hesitate to ask me, a member of the Graphic Lab, or the Graphics village pump. Uploading images in SVG format isn't mandatory, but it would help. (To avoid any misunderstandings, please don't just put raster images into an SVG container as embedded raster.) Thanks, and happy editing!
