Nick Griffin

Hi my edits keep gettin reverted on that Nick griffin article but I am actually right, it quotes a article without quotation marks. i dont want to break the 3 revert rule —Preceding unsigned comment added by No autoaim (talk • contribs) 23:11, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits are being reverted because they are incorrect. The wording does not quote the article, it paraphrases it. The wording could be improved, however. Parrot of Doom 23:15, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Main page

Just a note to say that wife selling looks good. It was the right choice. :) SlimVirgin ^{talk contribs} 01:07, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Malleus contributed more to it than I did though. Interesting to read the talk page comments. Parrot of Doom 08:09, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

Hello Parrot of Doom, have you thought of visiting the Lounge forum at www.metropol247.co.uk ? Gavin Scott (talk) 10:37, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. What's it about? Parrot of Doom 11:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blackbeard's Jolly Roger

File:Blackbeard's Jolly Roger.svg

In case you missed the update on my talkpage (amidst the chatter of blowing oneself) your Blackbeard image is available. Whether or not it's up to standard is another matter. I didn't know if you wanted me to do an entirely new illustration or just do a trace of the original. In the end I went for the latter, though the trace was a manual one being that Illustrator's Live Trace function isn't particularly good for images like this. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 11:59, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's perfect, thanks very much. Far far better than what was originally in the article :D Parrot of Doom 12:28, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I didn't know there was already a version on commons, otherwise I'd have overwritten it with this one rather than creating a new one. In fact I might do that anyway and get my original deleted, what do you reckon? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 12:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Its used in loads of articles so I'd say update it with yours, and get an admin to delete the old, shit version. Parrot of Doom 12:34, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All done. Just you wantch some jobsworth come along and revert! --Fred the Oyster (talk) 12:45, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you do svg for a living, or just a hobby? I've been working for ages on a crest for the original ELR railway article. Bloody hard work. Parrot of Doom 13:07, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A bit of both. I'm a layout designer but do most of my work in Photoshop and InDesign. My skills in Illustrator were very sucky so I started to use the requests in the Graphics Workshop as an excuse for practising my vector image skills. Starting to understand SVG came out of that when finding that Illustrator didn't always convert from AI format to SVG format properly. My skills still suck, just not as much as they did although I still can't draw! I have to say I'm starting to enjoy doing diagrams, especially medical ones. Doing illustrations strictly for SVG is a bit limiting though, e.g. using gradient meshes aren't supported by SVG so have to be converted to raster thereby making them a bit redundant, which is a shame as they are damn useful sometimes. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 13:48, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
