To correct this the text should be converted into paths. Inkscape: highlight the text and click Path > Object to path Illustrator:highlight the text and click Type > Create Outlines Once the image has been corrected the image can be overwritten by going to the file on Commons and selecting 'Upload a new version of this file' under the 'File history' section.

Attribution This page describes the process of adding open license text to Wikipedia. Since the publication is published by FAO but the license is on Wikimedia, please fill in the fields like this: DocumentURL = The URL for the publication on the FAO website License statement URL = The URL of the document uploaded to Wikimedia Commons Currently you can only add open license text to English and Spanish Wikipedia. Referencing When you use text from a publication please also reference it, use the URL of the publication on the FAO website as the reference. Writing tips Recommendations: if publication makes a recommendation e.g "We recommend..." please rewrite it to say "FAO recommends...". It would be helpful if the reason behind the recommendation was given if possible e.g "FAO recommends ... because it is a more sustainable fishing method".
