You probably won't screw it up to where it won't load again, that problem was the bitmap image you'd put in the background. To avoid screwing it up in the sense of text not showing up: if you create any new text objects, don't use the "flow" option. You shouldn't have any problems resizing existing ones. —Random832 01:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Mm-triangle-rmc.svg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mm-triangle-rmc.svg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

SVG tagging
Hi, I saw you tagged this [1]. Just to make sure I understand the intention right: an SVG version of that image already exists and is mentioned on the description page (the PNG is in fact derived from it). Was that an oversight on your part or do you intentionally tag such cases too?
I've been accustomed to upload PNG exports of my Inkscape maps, because the SVG originals sometimes don't display reliably the same in different browsers and the Mediawiki renderer itself failed to render certain Inkscape features last time I looked. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, my mistake. I added a {{Vector version available}} template now. It Is Me Here (talk) 07:51, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, great, thanks for showing me that tag. I'll start using that on my uploads then. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

SVG template for Image:Answer to Life.png
Image:Answer to Life.png is not a viable candidate for SVG. The drop shadow, radial "burst" gradient, and the rocky texture behind the gradient are extremely impractical to create in SVG, if not impossible. According to Commons:Media for cleanup, "Certain JPEGs and PNGs are not suitable for transfer to the SVG format. These include heavily or artistically shaded images". I have removed the {{SVG}} template accordingly. -Kotra (talk) 22:54, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Help in translation
Hi, I'm Giorgio. I'm italian and, among all the other things that I'm doing here in Commons, I'm following the project related to the italian admiral Ernesto Burzagli. At the moment we are scanning all his material and uploading it on commons. Recently we found a document written in russian or, at least, in cyrillic alphabet. Can you help us with the translation?

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open
Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:
- Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
- This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
- Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.
To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons
Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Those are kind of historical documents, and so not really good candidates for vectorization. There are many SVG vector versions of the "Shield of the Trinity" diagram in categories Category:Shield of the Trinity and Category:Trinity in heraldry, but trying to vectorize the exact tiny details of the GIF files would be semi-pointless, and not necessarily all that useful when done...

Hi, I noticed you have set up User:MiszaBot to archive your talk page. Unfortunately, the bot has stopped working, and given how its operator is inactive, it is unclear when/if this will fixed. For the time being, I have volunteered to operate a MiszaBot clone (running the exact same code). With that said, your input would be appreciated at Commons:Bots/Requests/ArchiveBot 1.

Important message for file movers
A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect
user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.
Possible acceptable uses of this ability:
- To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
- To perform file name swaps.
- When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)
Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.
The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect
user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
