Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'file' namespace from the drop down box (or see [1]). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--OsamaKReply? on my talk page, please 13:59, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Who'd have thought a bicosoecid deserved an SVG makeover of its low-res bitmap illustration? Thanks for tackling that! I'd have done it if I knew how back when I created the article, but I hadn't thought about doing it ever since I did learn how. Is there a list of images somewhere needing vectorized? I might tackle some in my free time if there is. Bob the Wikipedian (talkcontribs) 15:39, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Bob. There is indeed a category on Wikimedia Commons that lists pixel graphics that should be converted to SVG. Cheers, Zapyon (talk) 18:47, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
