Help has arrived
editHello. How can I help you? Henrik 15:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- I would like to know how to create a user subpge. Thank you :[user:subhash15]]
Go to the Address of the page you want to create, and you'll be given a box that says "Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name.", under there is a link to "Start the <title> article". Click that, and you're in business. BTW, you can sign your posts by typing ~~~~ Henrik 16:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC) Thank you. Subhash
Books
editI would have thought Stephen Timoshenko#Publications would be a great place to list these. Rich Farmbrough 20:45 16 April 2006 (UTC).

Helpme - svg
editCan someone please tell me the method of converting a .png image to a .svg image? I have found a commercial software which changes .jpg graphics to .png graphjcs. But I do not know how to convert to .svg format.
- Unfortunately there isn't a simple way to convert from .jpg (a bitmap) to .svg (vectors). You could try redrawing it in a package that supports SVG. Or ask at our Reference desk for a more comprehensive answer.--Commander Keane 21:43, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- First: please write messages to me onto my [page], and not onto my user page. When the discussion page is changed I will be notified by wikipedia the next time I log in.
- Secondly: You can use the free/open source software Inkscape, to trace a rasterimage to get a verctor image. -- panzi 00:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- thirdly: About your problem with the white border around a SVG picture: In Inkscape you can define a custom canvas size, so your pic fits exactly onto the canvas. -- panzi 00:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Re:surface normal
editLet us continue this at Talk:Surface normal. In short, while I understand your intuitive view of things, your changes to that article were incorrect. Surfaces are a bit more complex than one may think, and KSmrq explained that nicely at talk:surface normal. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:40, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:Dtext8.svg
editThanks for uploading Image:Dtext8.svg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
