{{Dont overwrite|File:Fukushima I NPP 1975 medium crop.jpg}} (The above was a template, following is by a human.) Sorry to throw this template at you, you did upload a useful impovement at File:Fukushima I NPP 1975 medium crop.jpg, the only problem is the rotation lost all the image notes and changed the appearance of the thumbnails for existing users. I have moved your version to File:Fukushima I NPP 1975 medium crop rotated labeled.jpg so you may ignore the last part of the template above. -84user (talk) 00:25, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

March 2011

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Solar System, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. In addition to not being a MINOR edit, I'm questioning the wisdom of changing formats from JPG to SVG, considering compatibility. — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 02:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi UncleBubba,

Thanks for your note. My bad for marking it minor; I thought minor is for when no text is changed. Re:

> In addition to not being a MINOR edit, I'm questioning the wisdom of changing formats from JPG to SVG, considering compatibility

I found the labels in the original JPEG too small to view in thumbnail mode though there is plenty of space available.

I've ensured that it renders well on the MediaWiki renderer and several modern browsers. Regardless, most Wikipedia readers will see the automatically rendered JPEG instead of the original unless they choose to view it.

Moreover, http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/File:Planets2008.jpg shows that it has been translated to several languages. My initiative lets editors easily translate it into their language without needing to fix the background.

Regards,

Template:Distance from Sun using EasyTimeline

Hi. I recently came across this template and noticed that Mercury and Eris lead to disambiguation pages. However, try as I might, I could not edit the template successfully so as to disambiguate the links. Perhaps you will better know how to manipulate EasyTimeline to achieve this? It Is Me Here ^{t / c} 16:28, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi It Is Me Here. Thanks for pointing it out and trying to fix the links. I've fixed the links using [[Mercury_(planet)|Mercury]] and [[Eris_(dwarf_planet)|Eris]] as EasyTimeline seems to fail on spaces in links. Please let me know if there are any other improvements to be made. cmɢʟee☺τaʟκ 19:14, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File: Thin_lens_images.svg

Hello Cmglee,

I believe this image is incorrect: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/File:Thin_lens_images.svg

The letters on the right side should only be inverted vertically, not horizontally. I could do the calculations, but one way to see it is that if the letters were flipped horizontally it would imply that light from the back of the letter reaches your eye first, which is not the case.

Otherwise, the image is very useful. Keep up the good work!

Well-spotted and thanks, DaedalusInfinity. I've fixed the SVG. Let me know if you find any other errors. cmɢʟee☺τaʟκ 12:26, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the SVG fix!

I noticed your edit on the SVG source of this file, and I was really impressed. I could tell from your user page that you extensively create/modify pictures on Wikipedia, including vector graphics. Glad that you improved mine this time, truly appreciate it.

If you don't mind, could you help me with the other 3 SVG graphics? I'm referring to this, this and this. All those graphics were made manually, meaning I was arranging those hexagons, naming them and trimming coordinates in the source, so that file sizes were kept small. I believe there is a way to create this sort of diagrams less painstakingly, just that I haven't come across it.

Could you advise me on representing by-elections clearly in the diagrams? Should texts be added for that matter? Also, what do you think about these pictures being transferred to Commons, with additional 2 sets of translated versions, in Bahasa Melayu and Chinese? Hytar (talk) 08:56, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words, Hytar; I try my best :)

I would find labels for the by-elections useful, but do get a second opinion. I prefer multiple layers of information in a single diagram but some Wikipedians find mine too cluttered.

I normally upload my images to Commons, though they have stricter policies e.g. on the corporate logos you've made.

I've done similar changes to the 3 images you linked. I must say I really like your idea of using hexagons for equal-area representation and also using more saturated colours with a border to show changes.

Did you use a script or program to generate the SVG? If not, kudos on your great effort! Here are some suggestions to reduce the work:

Write a script. I use Perl to generate mine.
Use defs blocks and xlink:href to make each hexagon a separate unit which you can place using the transform attribute.
"Cheat" by approximating hexagons with squares with corners cut off, so their coordinates are much simpler.

These techniques are in used in this SVG image.

Let me know if you'd like to collaborate on any new SVG visualisations you have in mind.

cmɢʟee☺τaʟκ 12:53, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

>== Re: SVG Check ==

Yes, all sound like good suggestions.

Unfortunately I'm very busy at the moment for various reasons. This means I've worked up a large backlog of "features I'd like to implement" :( (In fairness, this is also because I get new bugs in my inbox most days, and I devote time to fixing them as soon as I know about them.)

If you file a JIRA feature request, then at least your good suggestions won't get lost, even if it takes me a while to get round to doing anything about them (I do apologise for this, I just try to be realistic about these things). To do so, you have to register first (your Wikipedia login details won't "just work" unfortunately), then the "New feature request" button is fairly obvious.

Carpet cleaning

Hey,

I thought it was useful because it gave people a way to find a carpet cleaner (which is really one of the biggest reasons they visited the page). Further, the site is not selling any products.

Thanks for your speedy reply and clarification, Pragmatically. While I appreciate that you may be trying to be helpful to people who want to clean their carpets, Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia, not a how-to guide. I think WikiHow is a much more suitable place for your contribution. Thanks for your understanding! cmɢʟee☺τaʟκ 18:41, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edits

Hello, can I ask you to please undo some of the changes in this edit? It looks like it was a revert of my revert (without explanation), and per WP:BRD, these should be discussed before being repeated. The colour coding is fantastic, but you've changed the column titles and repeated alot of changes that I reverted. Also, why have you removed diacritics from names (even in quotations)? This pushes the reader through redirects...

...Although I've just noticed that I've put "Supportiveive" instead of the "supportive" that was agreed upon on the talk page (a mistake). Thanks, Nightw 14:04, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks mate. Appreciate it. Nightw 21:11, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's quick; I was going to reply after fixing the page. Sorry about the mess-up, Nightw. I didn't realise my text editor corrupts non-ANSI characters and your changes were lost due to the merge conflict.

I've tried to restore the section to the state before I edited it, except the following:

Colour-coding, giving more width to the Further Details column, and removing unused style attributes (my original intentions)
Restoring the headings -- I think "Position" and especially "Rec." are not descriptive enough
~~Restoring "Support" and "Oppose" -- I think "Supportive" and "Against" are unnecessarily long~~
Restoring a reference for Bosnia-Herzegovina removed without explanation

Hope that's ok now! cmɢʟee'τaʟκ'maιʟ 21:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After reading the discussion on the Talk page, I've changed Support/Supporting to Supportive and Oppose to Against. cmɢʟee'τaʟκ'maιʟ 21:35, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, looks good. Thanks for taking the time to review. And thanks for editing the table as I consider it an improvement. Regarding the headings, I think a key will probably be added to better explain the table (will do so myself as soon as I get a chance), so don't worry about that for now. I deliberately removed the reference for the Bosnian position because it was attributed to the Israeli government (not appropriate given the context). You were right to add that back since I didn't give an explanation in my edit summary. I've tagged it with an explanation, will remove it again tomorrow if nobody objects. Not a big deal. Thanks again, Nightw 21:43, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks too. I'm done editing the page and shall leave it to you and others to improve it :) Have a good day! cmɢʟee'τaʟκ'maιʟ 21:48, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Transparent Background

Hi Cmglee. You do really nice work. I was wondering if the image found here http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ideal_projectile_motion_for_different_angles.svg could be uploaded with a transparent background? Bruhow (talk) 23:12, 8 November 2011 (UTC)Bruhow[reply]

Thanks, Bruhow. I've made the background transparent and improved the scale on the ground. Incidentally, could you forward me to a document that explains why it should be transparent? Wikipedia:Preparing_images_for_upload does not explain it. I can understand it lets images be used on different backgrounds without unsightly borders, but for graphs (especially colourful ones like this one), wouldn't that make certain parts unreadable? The white background guarantees that this cannot happen. cmɢʟee'τaʟκ'maιʟ 13:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

US standard atmosphere

Hi, the current version of the US standard atmosphere is 1976, not 1962. I think it would be better to use the current data for the articles you just added your 1962 image to. Q Science (talk) 06:10, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Q Science, I'm aware of that, but could not find any suitable graph of all 4 properties to trace. If you have one, or know the vertices of a piecewise-linear function (or quadratic/cubic Bezier curve), please let me know. Nevertheless, since NASA used it for their Centennial of Flight site, it shows at least some acceptance of the 1962 model. cmɢʟee'τaʟκ'maιʟ 15:57, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
