Did you edit my user page?

Did you edit my international travels? My policy is that no one can edit my user page. You have to ask first. --Wikipedian 15:40, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, i did so. I'm sorry for bothering you, but the image was marked as redundant and had to be replaced (to delete it). --jed 16:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You did not bother me. I just want to have a clean user page. Not that you did anything wrong. Wikipedian 16:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GIF -> SVG

I've repeatedly explained to you that these SVGs are not accurate reproductions of the GIFs, and that they render improperly for most users. Despite this, you have taken it upon yourself to replace all instances (without discussion or even the use of edit summaries). As you're aware of the fact that you're compromising the integrity of Wikipedia, please explain why I should regard your behavior as anything other than vandalism. —David Levy 10:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Because the gif is redundant to the svg. Thats why i nominated it for deletion. To be deleted it has to be orphan. Thats why i replaced the gif by svg. As you are the creator of the image i can understand that you are emotional involved, but it is nothing personal. --jed 10:59, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've repeatedly explained to you that the GIFs are not redundant to the SVGs. The SVGs are similar, but they are not 100% accurate reproductions. And again, the SVGs render improperly in IE. You're unilaterally replacing consensus-backed images with files that are broken for most users (and provide absolutely no practical advantages). —David Levy 11:07, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The gif image is redundant to the svg and it is preferable to have only one image in a free form, as to have two or more no-free. As far as i can see the consensus is only you, but we will see what the result of the discussion will be. --jed 11:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Again, the SVG images are NOT the same. They're similar, but there are clear differences.

And again, the SVG images are broken for most users. In what way would Wikipedia benefit by switching to them?

The GIF files are in the public domain (and Unisys' LZW patent is long expired), so I don't know what your "free form"/"no-free" argument is supposed to mean. —David Levy 11:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to throw in a comment: currently all svg-images are converted to PNG-images, because not all browsers support svg-images. --Kajk 13:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
