librsvg problem[edit]
It is interesting how your broken images resemble the commons A-list and people who have changed their personality or are not available to comment on things they did just a few months ago.
It is much easier and a nicer place if people do what they are supposed to do and also, in my now several decades, if stupid wrongly founded rules go away.

Real answers for real software problems now (no more whining and imagery), svn update has a "-r" flag which accepts dates and/or version numbers. The version numbers are a pain to me, I have not yet been able to determine how that would be useful for an active development tree with "people" active in it. When I have turned back my software (development versions tend to break right before they get together) it usually takes a few attempts to get the syntax correct for the date. Their online book has too much information and I think I end up looking at the linux documentation for the different time formats and not all of the formats that were promised to work in the svn documentation actually did work.
</the only thing you really need to read>
As someone who should have been on an A list (especially if this doesn't mean losing all friends and welcome where I lived and having an income equal to the local cost of living) I can tell you my experience with making almost always good or excellent contributions or at least entertaining; I can tell you that for whatever wrong or right reasons, it ended up being the most lonely thing. Somewhere, there is (or at least it existed for a long while and is difficult to imagine has gone away) a place where people can be and are "themselves". Not pretending to be things they aren't. It should be like that here, it is easier and the environment would be easier to enjoy for everyone. -- carol (talk) 05:03, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- With nightly binary installation, the same thing applies. If the nightly that you installed did not work, try one from a different day or to be very sure of images that are not broken, install the stable version.
- I am sorry that I misunderstood -- there is not too much difference between installing a binary and using a compiler on your own computer to build it with the exception that you can build it with and/or without things and building it on your own computer makes it "fit" better.
- Sorry I whined also -- no need to understand and as I marked it, no need to even read it. Deleting it would be fine also. -- carol (talk) 05:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Longford circuit[edit]
I saw that you are the capable author of the Adelaide street circuit map. I was wondering if it would be possible for you, when you get some free time, to do one for the page on the [Longford circuit], one time home of the [Australian Grand Prix]. There is an old hand-drawn map of the circuit here that you could base it on? -- Robert_Fleming (talk) 16:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Tip: Categorizing images[edit]
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").
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.BotMultichillT 06:30, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Silverstone[edit]
Hello. A number of editors, including myself, are experiencing a problem with viewing your Silverstone circuit map below a resolution of 660px. We are using a variety of browsers, and we can all see the full-size image without any problems (the discussion is here). Interestingly, looking at the upload log, I can see all of the versions before August 4, 2008, without any problem; it's just the two most recent versions which aren't displaying correctly. Is there a way this can be fixed?--Midgrid (talk) 18:02, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Circuit maps - TMI[edit]
Hi Will. I appreciate the effort that you have taken to update the circuit diagrams of late, its good to have them accurate. However, I think you may be including too much information and you are making them too fussy and detailed. Mostly they get used at reduced scale in infoboxes and when reduced the text style and spacing you are using are getting lost. More concerning, though, are you recent inclusions of lateral g-force, gearshift and speed information. Apart from greatly adding to the clutter (and thus reducing the readability of these diagrams), this information is actually deeply subjective and is likely to go out of date in a matter of weeks, if it ever was actually accurate in the first place. Take File:Autódromo José Carlos Pace (AKA Interlagos) track map.svg for example. Lateral g-force information to two decimal places and speed to three significant figures? That's just not realistic. Quite apart from being F1-specific (and so these diagrams are now useless for all other racing series and for the track article itself) this information is unsourced and ludicrously detailed. If you want to make a track map then go ahead and make track maps. What we need for most articles, however, are simplified diagrams with basic information shown clearly. Pyrope (talk) 00:44, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- I take your point and I understand that these diagrams are used elsewhere, but for Wikipedia I'm struggling to see the encyclopedic value of the information, period. As I'm only really concerned with the diagrams' Wiki applications I'll confine my comments to this environment, rather than getting involved in an external blog. We aren't a detailed stats site, this is a general interest encyclopedia. Here, information should be reliable and stable. Speed, gear and g info vary from lap to lap, from car to car, driver to driver, year to year, and so on. Speculative or selective data reproduction (it looks as though someone just got hold of the telemetry for one car from one lap in one year) is not helpful. These circuit diagrams need to be tailored to the use to which they are put. If you want to keep cramming more information into them then that is obviously up to you, and this may find a use somewhere else in this publication (although my comment about citing all such information stands), but for Grand Prix and individual circuit article infoboxes we need something simpler and cleaner, that reproduces well at 250px. In terms of readability, even in the larger, full page format, you need to address some serious graphic shortcomings. Just off the cuff, I'd single out: 1) use of serif fonts (not great in a diagram, save it for script); 2) corner numbers too small, and too tightly crushed into their white roundels; 3) corner and straight names placed too far from their appropriate position and at awkward angles; 4) the track line is too thin and doesn't stand out from the other information, especially at smaller resolutions. There is much to like about the diagrams, though, and in particularly the North arrow and scale bars are a very necessary addition in comparison to older diagrams.

Which layout was used for the 1980 through 1984 Australian Grand Prix at Calder Park Raceway?[edit]
The correct answer is, none of the existing tracks. Those three variations came into existance only in 1987. Older versions of Calder were shorter again just one mile long containing only the Northern most sections of the track course. A close analogy is the short circuit marked in grey that turns right halfway down the front straight but the northern-most corners had a different profil back then being more constant radius. Turn 6 & 7 are similar, but truns 8, 9 & 10 were one constant radius U turn. In either 83 or 84 turn 7 was replaced with a tighter left-right-left combination which linked back into the old 8. Turn 1 isn't accurate as the old turn 1 was one constant radius bend linking front and back straights, rejoining exactly as you have it at turn 5. Turns 1-2-3-4-5 were added to Calder in 1987 and debuted on the longest course for the World Touring Car Championship event in October 1987. --Falcadore (talk) 04:15, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

File:Jacarepaguá.svg[edit]
Hi,
First of all thanks for great maps. Anyway, seems that you've messed up turn 3 of Jacarepagua's oval and road course. The T3 of map is T3 of oval and T4 of road course. Also, as the track has (or in fact had) 13 corners, and you had 11 corners plus ? corner (i.e. the actual T3), the another missing one is obviously after T5, the place where road course joins oval.
