Hi Linestamp! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

File:Coat of arms of the Diocese of Austin.svg
There's kind of a problem replacing a coat of arms SVG image which is 73kb in size with an SVG which is over 5 megs in size, especially when the arms are not all that graphically complex. I haven't fully gotten to grips with the 5meg SVG yet, but I already know that it contains 500kb of embedded raster (PNG) data. I really think you need to slim down the megabyte bloat, and eliminate the embedded rasters, before this will be an acceptable replacement in Wikipedia articles. Thanks.

P.S. Your diocese coat of arms images are rather steadily increasing in size, starting at 2.5 megs a week ago, increasing to 5 megs in recently-uploaded images: 00:49 22 Feb. 2.52 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Saint_Cloud.svg 23:36 23 Feb. 2.7 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Richmond.svg 06:07 24 Feb. 2.7 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Archdiocese_of_Archdiocese_of_Anchorage-Juneau.svg 06:26 24 Feb. 2.78 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Pueblo.svg 06:47 24 Feb. 2.83 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Gary.svg 08:31 24 Feb. 2.98 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Lafayette_in_Indiana.svg 09:05 24 Feb. 3.15 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Grand_Rapids.svg 09:09 24 Feb. 3.15 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Brownsville.svg 09:14 24 Feb. 3.06 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Beaumont.svg 23:27 26 Feb. 3.13 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Joliet.svg 00:31 27 Feb. 3.48 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Davenport.svg 00:42 28 Feb. 3.54 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Kalamazoo.svg 01:17 28 Feb. 3.58 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Saginaw.svg 01:44 28 Feb. 3.62 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Gaylord.svg 01:31 29 Feb. 4.2 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Archdiocese_of_Kansas_City_in_Kansas.svg 01:39 29 Feb. 4.2 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Dodge_City.svg 01:45 29 Feb. 4.2 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Salina.svg 01:52 29 Feb. 4.2 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Wichita.svg 23:25 29 Feb. 5.25 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Lansing.svg 23:32 29 Feb. 5.25 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Marquette.svg 23:38 29 Feb. 5.25 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Des_Moines.svg 23:44 29 Feb. 5.25 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Austin.svg 23:54 29 Feb. 5.25 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Tyler.svg 00:05 1 March 5.25 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Bridgeport.svg 00:09 1 March 5.25 MB Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Norwich.svg AnonMoos (talk)

I downloaded the Coat_of_arms_of_the_Diocese_of_Austin.svg file to my home computer, and it's just too big and complex for me to deal with. I've had success in hand-editing SVG files to remove bloat a number of times in the past, but not this file. I could remove the embedded rasters, but that would only reduce the size of the file by 10%. If there's any option in Inkscape to remove unused code from an image, then click that button, otherwise you may need to rethink the way you make SVGs AnonMoos (talk) 12:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

OK, 345kb is more acceptable than 5.2 megs, thanks. AnonMoos (talk) 20:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Coat of Arms of Michael Thomas Martin
Hi,

Love that you're redoing the Coats of Arms of the Bishops and Dioceses. I have one more for you. I've added the CoA of Michael T. Martin to his page which is hidden until his consecration this Wednesday. Can you redo that? Thank You..

Bishop John McDermott of Burlington, VT Coat of Arms
Hello again,

I searched all over for his CoA but the best I could come up with was this: It's the last photo on the album. Can you do something with this?

Bishop James Mark Beckman of Knoxville, TN Coat of Arms
Thanks for the help with Bishop McDermott, The CoA looks great. I have one more request. I have the Coat of Arms for Bishop-elect James Mark Beckman hidden on his page until he is consecrated on the 26th of this month. Could you possibly create that one also? Again, thank you for the help..

Missing Bishops Coat of Arms
Hello again,

I can't express how much I appreciate you creating the CoA's for the Bishops. There are 4 Bishops CoA's which I have posted to their individual pages but because my "graphic" capabilities are limited, they haven't been posted to Wiki Commons. They are:


 * Jeffrey M. Monforton
 * Michael Pham
 * Felipe Pulido
 * Tomás González González

In addition, I had posted the CoA for Bishop Bruce Lewandowski, but somebody deleted from his article though I still kept a copy of it.
