 * SVG is the preferred format for graphics such as this .... Failing that, use PNG format. GIF should only be used for animations.
 * scaled down versions are not needed - the MediaWiki software does automatic scaling....


 * ...The deletion of objects appears to be a technical issue i have yet to master. Your reference to the proper procedure to get others (admin? bots?) to assist me in erasing what has been created that was unnecessary or problematic would be appreciated. I gather that in the case of pages db-u1 is enough to add to the top of it. Someone also mentioned db-author.... I gather that tagging in this way lets admin know that the creator wants it destroyed and that after a "|(reason for the desired erasing)" is important also inside the tag....-- self-ref (nagasiva yronwode) (talk) 13:13, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

(Please refer to) this edit (where i recommended) db-author. Note: double s (you have some examples above which you could have followed); 'db' not 'dp'; reason is specified with. Strictly speaking, db-u1 is only for your user pages. Db-author is a better one to remember since it can be applied to any page - image, mainspace, etc. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 08:46, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
