Hello!
I clearly extract SVGs from PDFs in the wrong way since they get huge. Eventhough I delete everything in the PDF but the SVG it seems as the deleted parts get saved in the SVG code anyway. That is my only explaination to the huge size anyway. Can you perhaps fix these? (And teach me how do extract the SVGs in a better way, it'd be appreciated).

Auskick - yeah, just lots of gradients, but it works quite nicely.
Units - you can use whatever units you prefer (they work like
CSS units and they are all 'relative' anyway, once the Scalable Vector Graphic gets scaled...
) but for consistency I generally stick to px since, as you say, it's the yardstick here and if you're not careful you can get some "confusing" results mixing and matching. I find it easier to compare things and do scaling etc. if units are consistent. Plus, in my 'run-through' I did the optional resize in 'px' so sticking to that later made sense. --

I haven't listened to the song, and I'm not about to, but given that raven on your user page... Drmies ( talk) 14:50, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your cordial reply; I didn't mean to sound defensive, but your initial message took me by surprise. I have uploaded several hundred logos to Wikipedia over the last three or four years and you were the very first to notify me of my error. Since your message I have been leaving the Author line blank. It appears that the actual author of the file doesn't show up on the finished File page; in other words, whether I signed on the author line or not the File looks the same; my name shows up only as the user.

You're correct - {{
Non-free use rationale logo}}
doesn't actually display any "author" info
you enter, it uses |Owner=
which is a better parameter because usually we wouldn't know an "author" but might know an owner (parent company etc). There's no need to put anything in |Owner=
unless it's different to the article name value though, because it will default.
Still, whether it displays or not (and with some other templates, such as {{
Information}}
it would, so anyone converting a file description page containing it to, say, {{
PD-Textlogo}}
would suddenly find an "author" appearing - see, for example,
this one), it's better to not enter misleading information that somebody might take as fact, so thank you for no longer entering it like that. The fact that it doesn't usually display is probably why nobody ever mentioned it to you before.
Thanks for the note, and for all your uploads, which have improved many articles. -- Begoon 04:47, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
