-Malcolm, here is how I did it:
-* The 2000px png version was, in my opinion, too large for use in a CZ article, so I selected the 1000px png version from the file in Commons, right-clicked on it and selected "Copy".
-* I then pasted that copy into my computer and found that it was named "thumb(2).png". So I renamed it as "1000px-Golden Rectangle Construction.png".
-* I then uploaded it into CZ using the CZ upload template for Wikimedia Commons.
-* I found that it had uploaded with a black background rather than a white (or transparent) background. '''I have no explanation of why that occurred'''. I noted that the 99px version uploaded for you by Daniel Miethchen also had a black background (as rendered on my IE 6 browser).
-* At that point I placed a "speedydelete" on my upload with the black background.
-* I then used Microsft's Paint program to change the black background of the copy on my computer to a white (or transparent) background.
-* I renamed my computer copy (with the white background) as "1000px Golden Rectangle Construction.png" and uploaded it as the current copy into CZ. [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 19:48, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
-Malcolm, about a year or so ago, I didn't know how to do any of this myself. But it finally became clear .. so don't despair. [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 20:11, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
