May I ask *why* we now have two pages for essentially the same thing?
As per my original email in introducing the ReleaseGraphics page [1],
I believe paragraph three explains: 1) my creation of a new page, 2)
why I had not overwritten the ThemingOverview page, and 3) a proposal
for what the ThemingOverview page could be for. Nobody objected,
rather...Rahul commented that it made sense [2], and you yourself
suggested linking it to the front Artwork page [3].
Hope this clarifies any misunderstandings.
I hate to say it really doesn't. Those don't explain why you would
take a wiki page that is nearly a year old (and likely has internal
and external links pointing to it), duplicate and modify its content,
and fail to credit those who created the original content and actually
take full credit for the content itself.

ReleaseGraphics was created with the aim of providing a clear listing of
the pieces and set of specifications of what I, as Visual Designer of
the Red Hat Desktop Team, make sure exists at each release. The
specifications listed were those provided to me by my team lead Matthias
Clasen, Jeremy Katz, and Than Ngo, throughout my years as the art
maintainer at Red Hat Desktop and also to further supplement the
creation of the ReleaseGraphics page. This page is to provide those
interested in creating a complete set of release graphics for
consideration in inclusion of Fedora by myself and the Desktop team.
I took full responsibility of the content. Thus requesting that
modifications be discussed on Fedora-art-list or sent to me first so
that I may confirm with the engineers whom the images would be
distributed to. Being that this directly relates to my role within Red
Hat's Desktop Group (as I go through this process several times for RHEL
releases) I will ultimately be the one responsible for providing the
team with the necessary usable graphics. Therefore, if the creator
follows the specs I've complied on that page, I would be responsible in
seeing that it works for the engineers and any errors would not be of
the creator who had followed my recommendations.
And so with deviations and personal comments, I take responsibility of
the content of the page with Release Graphic information separate of all
other specs that a general ThemingOverview page should include. The page
includes pieces from many people, I did not credit nor do I take
credit. However, I am responsible for the quality of graphics that
makes it in for each release, so with the opening of the Release
design...the ReleaseGraphics page is therefore a guide and checklist for
design interested in being a useful set for the release.
I hope that this clarifies our situation and I apologize if this is
disappointing to you. If you feel that ReleaseGraphics was a
duplication without a year long history, then please feel free to revert
back to the original ThemingOverview version. I created ReleaseGraphics
for those interested in understanding/creating the various pieces needed
for a complete useful Themed Release set.
