Wrong summary

FYI, you seem to be doing WikiProject assessment/tagging under the edit summary "clean up using AWB". Perhaps you forgot to change from the default? OrangeDog (τ • ε) 21:19, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes and no AWB is supposed to post a find/replace summary in addition to the clean up summary. i didn't added it to my summary because i din't want it to say that twice in the summary, and yes clean up is the default summary, and that is because AWB will automatically "Clean Up" articles as it goes along, in this case the term "Clean Up" refers to the process of shortening and or correcting wiki-text formatting for ease of use Koman90 (talk), Network+ 21:28, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
But that's not what you did... OrangeDog (τ • ε) 21:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
i'm aware of that tat was done per request if you read above Koman90 (talk), Network+ 21:51, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Yes, but the edit you performed wasn't "clean up". And AWB GenFixes should never be applied to a Talk page, to avoid refactoring other's posts. OrangeDog (τ • ε) 12:07, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Resizing SVG image

Hi Koman. Thank you for converting File:Pacific bell logo.png to an SVG file. Can you please let me know how to convert files to SVG or even resize SVG files? There are a lot of SVG files to be resized as listed in the Category:Non-free Wikipedia file size reduction request and any help from you will be appreciated. --Sreejith K (talk) 08:04, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

SVG Conversion

The best way to convert to SVG is to find an equivalent or the closest possible vector source file at either brands of the world or seeklogo these files are typically *.eps, *.ai, *.cdr, or *.pdf. once you obtain the source file you will need to convert and/or edit it with Inkscape or adobe illustrator, at this point you can re-color images, add slogan texts, ect. Vector logos can sometimes be obtained form pdf documents where the image dose not highlight when clicked. if your using inkscape it dose not have it;s own EPS converter so you will need to visit an online PDF conversion site. once you have successfully made any alterations to the logo or converted it to your editior's native file format you may then save it to the Linux native Scalable Vector Graphic (*.SVG) format. I hope this helps if you need Documentation with screenshot i will be happy to proivde it. There Are literally thousands of images on Wikipedia that should be vector instead of raster so the graphics lab always appreciates the help --Koman90 (talk), Network+ 12:27, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the informative reply. Now, can we resize a SVG file in Inkspace? I tried using it, but could not find how. May be we can take File:CFTK.svg as an example which has a ((non-free reduce)) tag --Sreejith K (talk) 05:51, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
with inkskape to resize: 1) open the svg file 2) select all shapes either a. press CTRL+A or b. click Edit -> select all 3) click and drag the arrow in the bottom left corner (you may need to hold the ⇧ Shift key) 4. to resize the canvas click file -> document properties -> fit page to selection -> ok
that should resize the image. This should only need to be done if the logo is very excessive in size or if it has a cleanup tag, due to the fact that SVGs can take to the exact size you specify without becoming distorted. Let me know if you need screenshots. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 12:34, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks Koman. I reduced the size of the image File:CFTK.svg since it had a ((non-free reduce)) tag on it. Though the file resolution is reduced, the file size has increased. Is this a cause of concern? Thanks again for helping me with this. --Sreejith K (talk) 05:51, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
with an increase in size that minor, around 2 KB i's nothing to be concerned about, svgs can differ by anywhere up to 10KB when altered an the change of size can be either an increase or decrease Koman90 (talk), Network+ 12:19, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I thank you for the help. It is greatly appreciated. I have resized all the SVG images in the Category:Non-free Wikipedia file size reduction request except for two of them. I am getting an error when I am trying to upload the resized image.

Is this something you can look into? --Sreejith K (talk) 07:46, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

the File extension does not match MIME type us very common when the thumbnail is downloaded instead of the vector file, be sure when downloading that you night click the image init's file page and then click svg file as or save target as, as for the second error i do not know what it means. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 12:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Edit summaries

If you want to change something that what does with explanation, I'd encourage you to explain in the edit summary at the very least. [1] Not only does the SVG fail the FUR, it is not the same as the actual logo. The logo is there for identification and the actual one should be used.--Crossmr (talk) 00:34, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

this was done as the svg was marked csd as it was replaced with the PNG, i simply put the svg back, because it is the same logo, it just lacks drop Shadow, which is harder to produce with svgs and would eat up unnecessarily space. the SVG contains enough detail to sufficient identify the subject in question, and that is all that is required by WP:LOGOS
It isn't the same logo. It is different, and it can still be rendered at 2000px which violates the FUR. I replaced it with the PNG because it is the exact logo and it can't be rendered in such a way that violates the FUR.--Crossmr (talk) 08:42, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Yes it cn be rendered at 2000px, taht is one of the benifits of a Scalable vector graphic (SVG) but did you know that SVGs take les than 1/2 the space pf PNG files and they can be rendered even smaller than 200px?, by being able to specify the logo size and have the vector graphic fill that size without becoming distorted like a PNG cane makes an SVG superior, and like i said aside form some shadowing they are the same logo or close enough to convey the same visual meaning, i have seen plenty of media with the 2 dimensional logo to know that it is a valid version. It is for these reasons hat SVGs are the preferred file formats of coprate logos on Wikipedia. However if you can find a vector source file of this 3d logo (*.eps, *.ai, *.cdr, or *.pdf whre the logo cannot be highlited when clicked) I will be glad to put it in this logos spot Koman90 (talk), Network+ 12:38, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Which violates the fair use rationale. Fair use requires low resolution only. 2000 px is not low resolution.--Crossmr (talk) 00:41, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
I am seeking a third opinion on this, please be patient Koman90 (talk), Network+ 12:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Hey. Converting images to SVG is an acceptable - and actually preferred - way to display them on Wikipedia. Being scalable is not a violation of FUR, as once it's been turned into an SVG it's open to the public. They're basically the same; the shadow around it isn't part of the logo as far as I can tell. No, I think Koman90 was right on this one. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 19:43, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

It isn't his place to release a companies logo to the public. that is the company's decision. If you're saying turning a logo into an SVG is putting it into the public it absolutely has to stop right now.--Crossmr (talk) 16:38, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
No, that's false. ((SVG-Logo)) is a template that says "This is an SVG vector image of a registered trademark or copyrighted logo. If non-free content restrictions apply, this image should not be rendered any larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary. See Wikipedia:Logos." The image in its current form is acceptable; it's just up to people not to misuse it. I'm not completely clear on it, but I'm pretty sure that rendering a logo to SVG doesn't affect its NFC status; it's just an alternate way of displaying it on Wikipedia. So again, seeing as how there is overwhelming consensus on Wikipedia to convert logos to SVG where possible, what Koman90 is doing seems to be acceptable to me. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 17:13, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
You're the one who claimed he put it in the public not me. The template doesn't say anything about the logo being put in the public. I can't see how "Your honor, we asked users not to click the 2000px version" is going to stop a lawsuit or satisfies fair use. Wikipedia is hosting and making available very high res versions of these logos because of their conversion.--Crossmr (talk) 01:10, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Okay, well, I'm going to drop the stick here. There is a nearly universal consensus on Wikipedia to convert logos to SVG, and I believe Koman90 was acting accordingly. If you don't like that opinion, take it to higher powers. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 03:12, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
What consensus is that? This is the latest talk at WP:LOGO Wikipedia_talk:Logos/Archive_5#SVG_nonfree_logos_-_allow_or_not.3F. There was no consensus there for SVGs being fair use.--Crossmr (talk) 05:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
As far as you statement with the SVG releasing the logo into the public, the svg was made form encapsulated postscript found at brandsoftheword.com, this mans that the company in question would have already had to apply to have their logo posted on the website as they decided to release it into the public. It Makes common sense to me to upload an immage fromat that takes up 1/2 the space as another logo that is the equivalent to Wikipedia and replace the older version, if the company did now want their logo out in the public their legal department would have already contacted these websites to have it removed. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 12:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
That seems to be a user generated site [2]. logo author: unknown contributor: PlayerHater that doesn't remotely look like best buy uploaded it there or that they even know the logo is on the site. That doesn't mean the logo is in the public domain at all. And if that is what you've been basing your decisions on, that is a big problem. Wikipedia isn't have a space issue, so violating fair use to save a few bytes doesn't make sense. You make far too many assumptions about what the company should and shouldn't have done without providing any sources. Unless you can provide a reliable source that best buy has released the logo to the public then the entire premise for your argument is flawed.--Crossmr (talk) 00:47, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
and you might want to read the warning on the site when you actually click the logos:
The above logo design and the artwork you are about to download is the intellectual property of the copyright and/or trademark holder and is offered to you as a convenience for lawful use with proper permission from the copyright and/or trademark holder only. You hereby agree that you agree to the Terms of Use and that the artwork you download will be used for non-commercial use without infringing on the rights of the copyright and/or trademark holder and in compliance with the DMCA act of 1998. Before you use or reproduce this artwork in any manner, you agree to obtain the express permission of the copyright and/or trademark holder. Failure to obtain such permission is a violation of international copyright and trademark laws subject to specific financial and criminal penalties.
This site isn't remotely releasing them to the public.--Crossmr (talk) 00:50, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
The logo is in the public even if it is n a raster format anyway, and if best buy was objectional to tier logo being placed here they would have taken legal action already. How about we just drop it, and continue to contribute to the worlds largest encyclopedia in the ways we usually do.. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 02:36, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
I don't think you know what the phrase "in the public" means. "In the public" is typically meant to be in the public domain. This logos are nowhere near that regardless of what format they're in. The logo appearing on a website not related to Best buy isn't license for you to do whatever you want with it. Best buy's inaction against that website, isn't permission, and the legal text on the website clearly indicates that you can only use those logos under the applicable law (which would be fair use) which requires a low resolution image which SVGs are not.I really suggest you give our articles on Copyright Trademark, and WP:NFCC a serious read before you continue any image work. There is no standing consensus on WP:LOGO that I can find that says logos should be in this format and you seem to have a grave misunderstanding of the various laws surrounding this.--Crossmr (talk) 05:19, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Look, the two of you arguing back and forth about this isn't going to get anything solved, and it's certainly not going to change any Wiki policy as a whole. You need to take this issue to the wider community. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 13:59, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
There are two issues here, whether SVG is appropriate for logos and his apparent misunderstanding of what "in the public" means. For someone doing image work, that is a huge problem.--Crossmr (talk) 00:45, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
I understand that your bing a pain and that, you don't seem to get the fact that the cat that there is a difference between "circulating the public" and "in the public domain", if you took the time to look at my user-page, you would noticed i answered all your questions regarding the SVG transition there, and you have leaned quite a bit more about me, like my mental disability may have caused me misunderstand what you were talking about. I could also be as much pain as you are about the logo and say it is technically in the public domain because it consists of only typefaces and simple geometric shapes, but I've been trying to be civil and assume good faith, two traits you seem to lack. This Is the last time I will respond to any of your inquiries regarding this matter, as it is interfering with my other two jobs. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 02:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
You didn't answer them satisfactorily, which is why I brought this here. In fact one of your answers indicates the exact problem. Don't get "grainy" when enlarged This is the exact problem which is why they need to be in low res raster format. Otherwise anyone can take our copy of the SVG and make it high res, another thing we're actually providing a convenience link for. It's appearance elsewhere on the internet is immaterial unless it is on page controlled by best buy where they've put it in the public domain. Wikipedia controls what happens on wikipedia's pages. Even if it is "out there in the public" is immaterial. I've said nothing uncivil, or assumed bad faith. I have simply stated my position and said where I disagreed with what you claimed (and provided evidence to that effect). I've pointed out that you don't seem to understand some concept, but I never accused you of any ill will. You've now made a personal attack with your insult. I expect you to retract it. You don't get to just make personal attacks and walk away.--Crossmr (talk) 03:56, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Java

Hey Charles, long time no see... I have yet another favor to ask you with AWB. Could you take all 329 remaining talk pages classified with Category:Unassessed Java articles and tag them with ((WikiProject Java|class=stub|importance=low)). Beware because those talk pages ALREADY contain a ((WikiProject Java)), ((WikiProject Java|class=|importance=)) or ((WikiProject Java|importance=|class=)) tag and we don't want 2 tags, right... Thanks, --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 06:34, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

As soon as i get a "functional" copy of awb on my system i can do that, right now it keeps saying I have to update but then says it cannot access the files.Koman90 (talk), Network+ 12:32, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Success, All 329 Pages Tagged ((WikiProject Java|class=stub|importance=low))! Koman90 (talk), Network+ 19:36, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for that Charles. We're getting there with Java! I would have a last similar but slightly more difficult one for talk pages with Category:Unknown-importance Java articles (375 pages). It's to put |importance=low on the existing Java project tag. The possible tags to modify here could be ((WikiProject Java|class=stub)), ((WikiProject Java|class=stub|importance=)), ((WikiProject Java|importance=|class=stub)), ((WikiProject Java|class=start)), ((WikiProject Java|class=start|importance=)) or ((WikiProject Java|class=start|importance=)) (with possibly 'Stub' or 'Start'). So another possibility would be to do 2 separate batches, one for the 'stubs', one for the 'starts'; that way you don't have to modify tags, only to delete and rewrite a new one. Frankly I don't know AWB enough to say which method is easiest... --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 03:47, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
will get to that as soon as i get home today, we had a network emergency yesterday and i need to be on site all day. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 12:13, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
There are only 371 pages remaining now... --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 04:39, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
i've been trying to do that but i just cant figure out how to set up the rules, i keep getting "|importance=lowimportance=low" on every article, you might want to try someone who is a little more experienced with AWB Koman90 (talk), Network+ 00:45, 8 May 2010 (UTC)


I still think you could help us Charles; believe me if I could do it I would not bother you. But I don't have 500 edits yet... If you get that result, it probably means you do not use the right category as source or you try some crazy regexp. Let's try to 'break' this problem rationally:
  • First let's forget the 'Start' class completely; so you choose Category as Source, you put: Unknown-importance Java articles and you filter by Talk; that should yield a list of 371 pages (50 of which we don't care about, those are the 'starts', our targets are 321 pages). Right?
  • Then you do a Rule (type Entire text) with Find: ((WikiProject Java|class=Stub)) Replace with: ((WikiProject Java|class=Stub|importance=low)) Apply 1 time NOT Case sensitive NOT Multiline NOT regexp. That will NOT yield 321 changes, less.
  • Then you redo a Rule (type Entire text) with Find: ((WikiProject Java|class=Stub|importance=)) Replace with: ((WikiProject Java|class=Stub|importance=low)) Apply 1 time NOT Case sensitive NOT Multiline NOT regexp. Again that will NOT yield 321 changes, less.
  • Then you redo a Rule (type Entire text) with Find: ((WikiProject Java|class=Stub|importance=|auto=yes)) Replace with: ((WikiProject Java|class=Stub|importance=low|auto=yes)) Apply 1 time NOT Case sensitive NOT Multiline NOT regexp. Again that will NOT yield 321 changes, less.
The combination of these 3 passes should yield around 321 changes, maybe a little less. In fact I think you could apply the 3 rules in one pass because they are mutually exclusive as written. Could you try that? --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 18:56, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
I'll try it this weekend, sory for such a delay the non profit i volunteer for just switched their phones over to VoIP, because the technical consultant told them it would "save them money" what a nightmare it turned out to be. and now i overheard him on the phone with my assistant saying that i am "incapable of manging their network". After Further investigation i found that our DSL line that he told us should be enough to handle the phone lines, actually is not fast enough, needles to say we won't be using him anymore. the bill gates quote "Be kind To Nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one." comes to mind I will get to your request right now seeing as though i have a couple of hours free in my schedule. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 00:52, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
On pass #3 right now, pass #2 apparently didn't have anything that matched that rule, however this pass appears to have most of them, i think my problem before was a mistake i have made multiple times, i set all three rules in one pass. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 01:12, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
PROBLEM: Your request calls for 371 yet the rules given yields 229 edits, 142 Edits short of your target count, is there an additional pass i need to make? or additional rules i need to set? Passes 1&3 were successful pass 2 yielded no edits. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 01:34, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Nop, it's better than you say already! Because I was talking about 321 pages and you did 229, which leaves only 92 for the 'stubs'. I'm surprised by the 2nd rule ((WikiProject Java|class=Stub|importance=)) giving nothing though: I have found many cases in the 92 pages left, one of them is this page... But it's true that a fourth rule could be applied to grab even more pages: ((WikiProject Java|class=Stub|auto=inherit|importance=)). Thanks many already, --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 03:10, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Ok, that fourth rule yielded 40 edits. look like that was a major chunk of the missing ones, but for some reason we're still short 52. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 03:23, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Great. So first let's now forget these 52 'Stub' class; hence you choose Category as Source, you put: Unknown-importance Java articles and you filter by Talk; that should yield a list of 102 pages (52 of which we don't care about, those are the 'stubs', our targets are now 50 pages). Right?
  • Then you do a Rule (type Entire text) with Find: ((WikiProject Java|class=Start)) Replace with: ((WikiProject Java|class=Start|importance=low)) Apply 1 time NOT Case sensitive NOT Multiline NOT regexp. That will NOT yield 50 changes, less.
  • And you do a Rule (type Entire text) with Find: ((WikiProject Java|class=Start|importance=)) Replace with: ((WikiProject Java|class=Start|importance=low)) Apply 1 time NOT Case sensitive NOT Multiline NOT regexp. Again that will NOT yield 50 changes, less.
  • And you do a Rule (type Entire text) with Find: ((WikiProject Java|class=Start|importance=|auto=yes)) Replace with: ((WikiProject Java|class=Start|importance=low|auto=yes)) Apply 1 time NOT Case sensitive NOT Multiline NOT regexp. Again that will NOT yield 50 changes, less.
  • And you do a Rule (type Entire text) with Find: ((WikiProject Java|class=Start|auto=inherit|importance=)) Replace with: ((WikiProject Java|class=Start|auto=inherit|importance=low)) Apply 1 time NOT Case sensitive NOT Multiline NOT regexp. Again that will NOT yield 50 changes, less.
The combination of these 4 rules should yield around 50 changes, maybe a little less. Could you try that as the LAST Java tagging? --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 04:48, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
i'll get to that 1st thing in the morning ti's 11:00 pm here 05:43, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
That yielded 49 edits, close enough for jazz, Koman90 (talk), Network+ 16:09, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
OK let's leave it at that. I must say I now have access to AWB rights but I could not apply one automated change with it in 2 hours, however trivial, only manual ones and I prefer to do those with Firefox. That thing is a depressing, evil software. Thanks many, you're great! --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 05:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Industrial design

Hey Charles, long time no see... (LOL) I have yet another favor to ask you with AWB (the last one hopefully if I can ever figure out how this crazy software works). Could you modify 499 remaining 'stubs' talk pages classified with Category:Unknown-importance Industrial design articles with |importance=low on the existing Industrial design project tag. Beware because those talk pages ALREADY contain a ((WikiProject Industrial design...)) and we don't want 2 repeating tags!

The combination of these 4 rules should yield around 499 changes, maybe a little less. Could you try that as the LAST Design tagging? Thanks if you can, --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 07:26, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I think auto=inherit says to bots to take the quality class value (if empty) from other WikiProjects (if present) and auto=yes means that a bot has effectively passed by to do that job. Bye now. Alainr345 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.151.116.123 (talk) 05:23, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

SVG Logos

Please consult me before removing SVG logos I Create, many of them i create are requested via the graphics lab, and are created form e.eps, .ai, .cdr, or.pdf files. The way you accused me of a "poor auottrace" on File:New MSN.svg is a good example of why i am contacting you. Please Rest Assured That i almost Never auto-trace a raster image because it comes out looking worse than the above mentioned file. Auto-tracing tends to work best on very lage versions of the raster graphic, and this logo's original was not large enough to auto trace without distortion. and also for example File:vmware.svg, vector logos can be recolored quite quickly so I do not see why there was a need do remove these logos and flag them CSD. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Koman90 (talk), Network+ 13:22, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

"Please consult me before removing SVG logos I Create"
I don't expect people to consult me before correcting mistakes I make (The Golden Rule), and Wikipedia does not require it. I assure you it's just business to me.
"and are created form e.eps, .ai, .cdr, or.pdf files"
Yes, I went through some of your recent history and noticed some could only have been originated from proper official media — others clearly were not, so I nullified them.
"The way you accused me of a "poor auottrace" on File:New MSN.svg"
It clearly is an autorace; for some images that wouldn't be a problem, but for this one it is, hence "poor". It's not a reflection on your skill, because you didn't make it yourself, it was auto-traced. I'm sorry if you feel accused, I usually intend my statements to be matter-of-fact, not personal.
"i almost Never auto-trace a raster image because it comes out looking worse than the above mentioned file"
Like with file:New MSN.svg. That's why I reverted you.
"File:vmware.svg, vector logos can be recolored"
I was thinking of the width and placement of the characters, which is important in a logo and should be reproduced with complete attention to detail. You're right, though, the color was also off. Manually converting official raster logos to vectors is controversial in my eyes — they should at least appear identical upon inspection.
"remove these logos and flag them CSD"
Why leave the work for someone else? If you address the concerns at some point in the future, it's almost as easy to upload from scratch, no?

Notice you've just gotten online — I'm on freenode if you'd like to talk real-time. ¦ Reisio (talk) 21:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

i don't see how :
  1. you can tell that File:New MSN.svg has ben traced Never mind, i zoomed in on 2000px and saw some raster like characteristics in the "butterfly" portion of the logo.
  2. the placement of the characters in File:vmware.svg is "not correct" when i do import the rasters for comparison as a background layer.
  3. flagging for CSD helps at all when it can take me about 30 seconds to make the changes you requested, and i check my page every day, but flagging for CSD can acutaly be disruptive as many higher end IT oriented people do not keep a copy of their work on their system, because it is stored "in the cloud", meaning on the internet, this means i or another Wikipedia would have to go through this process all over again if we did not discover that this hapend , i cloud see if it was a file that was orphaned for more than a week before flagging or a file that was not even the company logo, but to immediately flag it CSD i found very disruptive.
Koman90 (talk), Network+ 01:59, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

2: I guess I can make an overlay as I did with the Sun logo to show that you clearly haven't done such a comparison (or that something went amiss when you did)

3: Well, like I said, the whole idea of replacing official media with unofficial media is, to me, pretty far out; but you're clearly active and only trying to do your part, so for you, if there's a next time, I'll try to remember to just give you a holler.
¦ Reisio (talk) 07:27, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you and i apologize for not looking that in detail at either of the logos as far as i knew they were official or "built" to the official standards or from official source files, the sun oracle logo had ben assembled from to .eps files and the font for "sun" was from the old logo so i was doing my bes to "get a feel" for oracle's logo standads, and the raster version of vmware was so small I cloud not see the problems properly. I will try to take a little more time in the future to evaluate these graphics before thy are uploaded. Every Wikipedia contributes in their own special way, i have found my easiest medium id through graphic arts, as my typing is horrible. I hope you can understand why i chose this path.

Speedy deletion nomination of P.A.W.S.

A tag has been placed on P.A.W.S. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon)) to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
