PNG flags

Why you are uploading PNG versions of flags? Commons have politics to redraw all bitmap flags to SVG format, so why you do it?

Please answer as soon as possible! --WarX 11:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

People are working on deletion hundreds of versions of PNG flags of countries, so uploading new, while they try to cleanup is ... All country flags are in SVG format, so you can use them :) --WarX 11:19, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

And when border hack is not sufficent? And tell me where is sense of having 4 versions of one flag? --WarX 21:47, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Please link your images so that others can find them!

Hello - thank you for providing images to the wikimedia commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the commons should be useful to all users of wikimedia projects - this is possible only if the images can be found by other people. To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should either place the images on topic pages (galleries) or put the images directly into a category, or do both (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help. You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files here: Gallery

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There is a large number of completely unsorted images on the commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do! Thank you. pfctdayelise (translate?) 13:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
