Please create new images instead of changing existing ones

Hi. I noticed you have been uploading new versions of some maps (for example File:Bosnia and Herzegovina Serbia Locator.png) with the edit summary "png fix" (See Special:Contributions/Bolonium). I have reverted the image back to the original upload image. I moved your new version to File:Bosnia and Herzegovina Serbia including Kosovo Locator.png and added wikilinks between the two variants. The idea is that people can choose which version they want to use in an article. I hope this will also discourage edit wars.

I suggest that you create new variants of maps in the same way, instead of uploading an edited image over an existing image file. Otherwise other users will just keep reverting your changes and you will not get a file with the image you want. Cheers. Wikibob (talk) 09:04, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Affected:

• File:EU location GER.png

The outdated EU location files (with only 27 members) have been replaced by the vector version showing the present situation. The vector versions shall be used from now onwards. David Liuzzo (talk) 16:09, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
