Hello

edit

Welcome to my userpage.
This might be my last chance at succedding. Although I haven't been at Wikipedia for a long time I have already noticed how different it is then most people imagine. Most people don't use Wikipedia because they think anybody can edit it. That is true but that's why there is a whole bunch of admins and bots and other stuff to revert vandalism. Don't get mad about what I think on a certain subject and there won't be any pain. :) As you can probably already tell I like to have fun and some of my edits might show it too. So try not to take everything I type to seriously. My userpage is mostly like the main page so that I don't have to check out the main page which might be vandalised.

Image processing tools

For images, there are free tools like GIMP and ImageMagick, and commercial ones like Adobe Photoshop that provide a variety of processing filters. The preferred formats are Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for drawings, and Portable Network Graphics (PNG) for pictures. You may also use JPEG.

Vector graphics are preferred to raster graphics for drawings, because they can be scaled as needed without losing information, and because they can be more easily edited. Please remember to follow our guidelines and policies when uploading images.

Quote of the Moment

Never forget.

 
The golden-fronted woodpecker (Melanerpes aurifrons) is a species of bird in the woodpecker family, Picidae. It is found in the southern United States, Mexico and parts of Central America. It inhabits mesic and xeric landscapes, including mesquite brushlands and riparian woodlands. It can also be found in urban parks and suburban areas. Males and females have the same plumage except for the pattern on their heads. Adult males have a red crown and a golden orange to yellow nape with a gap between them; females have a grayish crown and a paler yellow nape. The golden-fronted woodpecker has a diet of adult and larval arthropods, some aerial insects, fruit, nuts and corn, as well as occasionally eating other birds' eggs. The bird has a loud call and a short, slow drumming pattern. This male golden-fronted woodpecker was photographed perching on a branch in Copán, Honduras.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
