Hi
Thanks for your contributions to the article for this week, however I do have a reminder for you. To make sure that correct, and substantiated information is inserted into articles, you would do well to remember "more haste, less speed". Please try not to edit so fast at the expense of NOT providing an edit summary. Edit summaries are vital in providing a traceable history and helps in the fight against vandalism. To ensure your posts aren't mistakenly seen as vandalism, please can you take heed of this? Please feel free to respond, and thanks once again for helping to contribute to the article.

I was wondering. If I have an image of an under-construction building, took by me, what license is it under?

I'm looking for a skilled graphic designer.
I need an image for a non-barnstar Wikipedia award with the theme "World Traveler".
I was thinking perhaps the following image, without the barnstar, and with the globe (or another one) superimposed over the Wikipedia globe (or the Wikipedia globe superimposed over it) - I'd like to see the world's countries and the puzzle pieces. The image also needs a passport laying on the surface beneath the globe stand (where its shadow is, but the shadow should be retained as well). The image's background must be transparent (not white like the background of the image below).
File:Interlingual Barnstar.png
Is this something you can do?
By the way, credit for the design will be included on the image page, not in the image itself nor in the award.
I look forward to your reply.

{{ helpme}} Is there a way to preload text into an edit box and/or the edit summary box via the URL. Something like. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&action=edit&action=preload=TEXT

It was easier than I thought - only took several clicks in the Gimp. Here it is:
File:Globe stand with transparent background.png
The shadow may need to be adjusted to whatever background is selected for the final version of the award, but I'm not going to worry about that just yet.
The next step is to find a decent globe. The original was ruined by a barnstar being placed on top of it. The Transhumanist 01:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, you're welcome. I would have signed your guestbook even without the award, but thanks. Happy editing! -- Kyok o 17:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Now all it needs is a passport.

I just created this passport front cover, from scratch using the GIMP and Image:Wikipedia logo gold.png.
Since we want to turn it, we need to give it pages, that is, depth, because passports have a thickness to them.
So, one thing we could do is replace the cover of an existing pic of a passport laying down with our new cover. This entails adding to the selected pic an alpha layer, clearing the white background (by selecting and clearing it - in the edit menu), and adding an additional layer for our cover. Then the size, perspective, and rotation of the new cover will need to be changed to fit over the old cover. Can you do this?
I look forward to seeing your results.
