Please give images good descriptions
edit
I noticed you've uploaded one or more images and I thought I should turn your attention to a common error.
Please give some thought to writing a good description of uploaded images. This ensures that they can be used. It also helps those that review and improve categories do a better job, which also ensures that images will get used in novel and interesting ways. Thanks, and happy editing! — [[Manecke]] 14:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Zimbabwe Coat of Arms
editHi there. I noticed you uploaded a vector version of the Zimbabwe COA. It looks great. I made one or two minor fixes and there are still some errors. I have placed the image on the Graphics Lab page for fixing. You can see its entry here. Mangwanani 18:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

editTo be fair my school book is a very bad drawing. The correct version of the Zimbabwe Bird - any Zimbabwe Bird - is the SVG version I have inserted. It is pretty much the usual version. There are slight differences in some versions and this is usually the bit under the wing. It is, however, zig-zag form not balls on the design (see the flag of Zimbabwe).

Rhodesia
editHi there. Is there a chance of you being able to create a Rhodesian Coat of Arms in svg in the same way as you created the Zimbabwean one? There is one which has been attempted but it is not very clear Image:Rhodesian coat of arms Sag.svg. I have added some bits to try and make it clearer but it still looks pants. Thanks Mangwanani 16:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Well done. But why didn't you make it totally transparent? Regards, --AM (talk) 17:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Tip: Categorizing images
edit
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT (talk) 05:51, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

concerning the map: Ruanda prov 2005 de.svg
editYou have uploaded the map "Ruanda prov 2005 de.svg" in the past and the text isn't depicted in the correct way. The solution for this is simple: select each text individually, Path/Object to Path (ie. if you use Inkscape). If you encounter more problems, you can contact me. Regards.

Ruanda 2007 de.svg
editI have made some changes on the file you worked on in the past: File:Ruanda 2007 de.svg. I raised the scale one layer so that it can be seen. Then I encountered another problem. Either you copied and pasted text into Inkscape leading to some weird behaviour. Or you enlarged the text. Or something else. I don't know. To make this a great map you will have to change the degrees that are around the map and the text in the upper left corner. If you do that, then all problems will disappear. But there is most certainly no librsvg-bug. Wereldburger758 (talk) 06:02, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
