SVGs

edit

Hi Shakiestone. Thanks for creating SVGs for chemical structure diagrams. However, I think it would help if you can add a small margin to these images. If you look at Chrysin, for example, you can see that the text labels get cut off at the bottom. Small margins will prevent this. Also, if the images can be created with a transparent background, that is preferable. I have a script that someone created for me that automatically adds transparency when you drag and drop a file on it. I can email that to you if you would like to try it. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
