If you want it to be on a shield (not some kind of half-shield), then it might be best to use SVG... AnonMoos (talk) 02:44, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Might get better results asking at Commons:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop‎. I can't help with the PNG, because I don't know how to do alpha-channel transparency with PNGs (as opposed to single-palette-color transparency); however, transparency is very easy with SVGs...

Autopatrol given

[edit]

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. odder (talk) 05:04, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Rich Farmbrough, 01:16 29 October 2012 (GMT).

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Hi Richard

[edit]

Well, I can't say it surprises me given that I understand just how broken the people and the process is. There is plenty to do here though, and Ctrl-V is not a phrase that idiots shriek like 'stop thief'.

There is someone trying to write, or has written, a bot that takes watermarks out of images. There is a lot of hot air going on about watermarks at the moment, some say they are the work of the devil. His bot crops the images. I believe it is possible to write a bot that does a lot more, similar to the way I've been removing watermarks through the middle of images.

Actually you know, there is quite the community of exiles here on commons, some living in secret, some who are quite open about it like me, doesn't seem such a big deal.

I have done some of the carousel, there are spots now, quite good looking ones, but the light doesn't cast coloured areas onto the horses, some technical thing I don't know about it seems. But I improved the horses and the carousel. I don't know where to put the thing though. All I came up with is on the moonas an easy to draw idea, and the camera flies in on the lunar surface and then zooms to the carousel and then examines it and flies away with the Earth in the background, or that would be the idea.. Easier to do then grass (I did a lovely field of grass waving in the wind before, but it sucks up a lot of processor power and memory.

I better leave you now, I know you won't want to talk for some time. Penyulap ☏ 10:43, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was just thinking 'I wonder if a single space beats cut'n'paste'. :)
Don't try to compete with me though, cause you're goin down if you do !!! I still got that bitty batty bit bot what-not hidden up my sleeve as a trump-all with zero contribs :)
(sigh) I really should learn some programming. Penyulap ☏ 16:00, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well I did get a single character addition, to a single article, characterised as "appears to be automated"... Rich Farmbrough, 01:35 3 April 2013 (GMT).
Gawd that does take skill. Yeah, that is a monument. True. Oh the humanity. Ok, Ok, that puts you in the same league as bitty ;) <grin>.
For now. Penyulap ☏ 10:00, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
AHH wait ! what about Elen blocking my Kidney because I bought new socks at the market ? huh ? (I am barefoot as I speak, I learned my painful lesson) Penyulap ☏ 10:32, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm getting closer to proving who is behind this PolandBall fiasco, trying to put such nonsense onto commons.

5 million it says in the description, really, do you have to keep bringing that up Richard ? you only got there first because I was blocked on en.wiki at the time I drew this. !

I hope you are well. I still do what I do every night and have made a little bit of progress in learning new botmaking skills. I think it's like the Chinese space program, to have a space station you have to master 3 disciplines. 1 is EVA, 2 is autodocking, and 3 is life-support which so far only the Russians have done. I think bot-making is an essential skill for making a fork for wiki, a must-learn. Penyulap ☏ 13:52, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I never did finish off that carousel, the central support has lovely coloured lamp-framed mirror panels and there are the lamps, but then I got distracted by simply everything. I hope you have a great many lovely distractions to keep you occupied. If not, I think you can spend some quality time looking over this page of reviews the Japanese have come up with the best brain-candy. Penyulap ☏ 16:08, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Maps

The following maps were not tagged in a way JuTa's bot could read so he deleted most of them. Way cool.

I think I found PD versions on another wiki. http://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategorija:R%C4%ABgas_apkaimju_kartes .--Canoe1967 (talk) 04:02, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes as each information page says they were copied from the Latvian Wikipedia file of the same name - as they were needed on other wikis. Each information page also says they are PD and that can be confirmed on the Latvian Wiki.
Many thanks for your work. Rich Farmbrough, 07:32 1 July 2013 (GMT). 07:32, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interested in coming here to Commons?

[edit]

Hey Rich, how ya doing mate, hoping all is well. Mate, would you be interested in coming here to Commons and helping with various bot tasks? Given your long experience in the operation of bots, I was thinking something like Commons:Bots/Work_requests#Uploading_a_high_value_stream_from_Flickr_.28we_have_template.29 might be something you might be interested in doing ;) Let me know, we could use more hands on deck in this neck of the woods. russavia (talk) 05:08, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am dabbling. Rich Farmbrough, 03:58 27 August 2013 (GMT).

Image Adding

[edit]

Hi Rich, do you remember back in 2011 building the list w:Wikipedia:Articles_with_UK_Geocodes_but_without_images? We could really do with a rebuild of it as we might have some more articles to add, and quite a few of them no longer lack images. For lots of reasons it would make sense to build it here on Commons rather than on wikipedia. thanks Jonathan Cardy (WMUK) (talk) 12:21, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You would also be very welcome to look at Commons:Bots/Work_requests#Opportunities_to_add_images. Jonathan Cardy (WMUK) (talk) 12:58, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Logos, particularly WMF

[edit]

Hi Rich,

If in the future you are going to change something like the colors in the logos, please talk to me and let me know your plans. It's really important for me to keep up with what is expressed in the Visual Identity Guidelines. Thank you! heather walls (talk) 22:57, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, get me an account on wikimediafoundation.org, and I will be able to contribute to discussions as well as fixing things that "would take way more time than it is worth." Rich Farmbrough, 21:49 6 June 2014 (GMT).
