[Clipart] Librarian jobs

[Leonardo Cunha]

Hi,

I have been wondering about the itens 2 and 3 in your list for some time...
Could have asked before, but didn't want to bothered anyone with what I
thought were silly/useless questions or problems. Looks like I was wrong.
lol

Anyway...

When you say "Request that people upload clipart separately. Or do it
yourself.", you mean we should upload our own clipart separately or you also
mean that we should, if possible, download other people clipart, separate
and upload it by ourselves?

One more question... Sometimes I notice that some clipart could make good
use of existing tags but the author didn't add them. For instance, it's a
wedding clipart and the author included only "male, female, love" as tags,
not the "wedding" tag. Is there anything I can do to help? Or that is not
desired?

Sincerely hoping that I am not making too much questions (lol),
Leonardo Cunha

> 5. *Request that people upload clipart separately*.
