Add Covid-19 to File:Generation timeline.svg[edit]

You generation graph is really amazing. However, one thing I noticed is that the Covid-19 Pandemic is not on it. Should it be added, since it's a pretty major event? Gottfriedjacob5 (talk) 21:37, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for the compliment, and good point, @Gottfriedjacob5: I concur, though as it's still ongoing, I don't have an end-date for it. What would you say is the start date? Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:06, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Elemental sourcing periodic table[edit]

Hello,

I was looking at this on APOD and on Wikipedia as well, and the versions I saw seemed to have 7 different colors on the chart itself, but only 6 on the key. Is that correct? There appear to be too greys, one very light, almost white and one darker. (Along with pink, green, blue, yellow, and purple.)

Thanks, LR 74.195.101.170 06:13, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Constellations, equirectangular plot[edit]

Hi, I was working on an astronomy project with my daughters, and the coloring in your chart produced 21 Blue, 23 Green, 23 Red and 21 Yellow constellations. This asymmetry was/is intriguing. Anyways, we recolored Crux to blue and Sculptor to yellow in our project to maintain non-adjacency of colors, while keeping all colors to 22 each. They wanted me to share this feedback with you. Thanks. Pruthviraya (talk) 23:24, 25 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks so much, @Pruthviraya: Sorry missed your message and have just seen it. Great observation! Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 00:42, 19 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi @Pruthviraya: I tried updating the chart today.
Though Crux could be successfully updated, changing Sculptor to yellow makes two adjacent regions have the same colour as the constellations map around the left and right edges and the adjacent Aquarius is already yellow. I couldn't find any green region which is not adjacent to a yellow region to use instead.
If you or your daughters can find another colouring, I'd love to hear about your solution.

compressing large SVG-files[edit]

regarding phab:T5593#8664998

 — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 22:16, 3 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@JoKalliauer: Thanks for your explanation. I understand that the task is too large for a small group of editors, but as with Wikipedia, using the community makes it more manageable. Having a category like Category:Large_SVG_files (even better showing number of articles using them, or pageviews per month) lets us prioritise the files. Other than maps, for which I don't have a solution, I don't think there are many huge SVGs that are much viewed.
I agree that compression leading to obfuscation e.g. removing whitespace/formatting or using obscure identifiers is subobtimal. Most of the SVG generated by tools like Inkscape have redundant attributes and styles which can be safely removed or condensed into classes or symbols. I don't know how feasible it might be to ask contributors using Inkscape to save as Plain SVG to reduce the cruft.
One commenter mentioned serving the smaller of the rendered PNG and the SVG. It seems a great idea, though it makes editors uncertain which would be served.
Cheers,

Question on Hollow-face Image[edit]

Hi cmglee,

I'm currently in a lab in the University of Toronto and I am doing some research on perception and attention involving human gaze in virtual reality. A coworker of mine came across your hollow face image that you made on blender with a "housewife model" from sketchfab. We would love to use your model in our study as we believe it is a perfect fit. Are you able to send me your original blender file for your hollow-face? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-Face_illusion#/media/File:Hollow_face_illusion.gif If not, could you let me know how you were able to create that image?

Generation timeline update[edit]

Hi there. On File:Generation timeline.svg, do you think we really need things like the world events listed? Because some would argue "Hey why isn't [such and such] event here" like the Gulf War for instance. I feel like it would be more concise to just have the generation names and birth years.

Also, it displays a "29 F8" error message on the sections where there's supposed to be a "/" (i.e. "Greatest/G.I. Generation"). 204.111.198.147 19:28, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for bringing up the "29 F8" error message. It seems the new renderer no longer recognises the "big solidus" character, so I've replaced it with a normal slash.
The characteristics and names of some of the generations are greatly influenced by world events such as the Lost, Silent and G.I. generations. Hence, superimposing the world events helps the reader perceive the timeline better. I understand your concern that some may question which events should appear, but we can handle them case-by-case.
Cheers,

Okay. Now, should the War on Terror and Web 2.0 parts really be extending that far into the chart? It's been argued the GWOT, or at least the main portion, ended in 2021 (the National Defense Service Medal stopped being offered after December 2022).

Mach band cross.svg[edit]

Hi Cmglee, thank you for contributing to Wikipedia -- just wanted to point out an apparent error in/confusing nature of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mach_band_cross.svg though. The picture seems to strongly imply that the mach cross diagram is the result of summing the two pictures on the left, but that clearly isn't true. For example, the border region of the mach cross image is black, but that's not true of either of the source images. If you want to express the content of the mach cross image visually, you'd either have to show min(g1, g2) rather than g1 + g2 (which seems a bit terse for the average reader); or, show 4 separate triangles which individually clearly contain a simple gradient.

I appreciate that the red dotted lines on the left images are sort of heading in this direction, but I think the average reader is more likely to be confused than enlightened by those images. --RobertStar20 (talk) 04:24, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Updated
@RobertStar20: Thanks for your constructive feedback. I like the min() idea, though it's ambiguous if white has a smaller value than black or vice versa. I think it's important that the gradient covers the whole square to show that it's just a simple linear gradient.
I've instead repeated small versions of the dashed red shapes in around the "+" sign to show it is the contents of the shapes that are added. Will that work? Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 16:22, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Pulse oximetry principle.svg[edit]

File: Pulse oximetry principle.svg

Hello Cmglee, thanks for this excellent diagram. Probably the best I've seen on the photometric function of pulse oximetry. I had one question about your diagram, which may be a misunderstanding on my part or an inherent source of potential confusion. In the left column, you demonstrate a higher proportion of oxygenated heme molecules, which have a greater attenuation coefficient for infrared light, relative to deoxygenated heme molecules. I might think such a condition leads to relatively less infrared light reaching the photodiode detector. However, it appears the diagram demonstrates greater transmissibility of infrared light compared to visible red light (ie. two gray IR waves reaching the detector relative to one visible red light wave reaching the detector; bar graph showing higher proportion of IR light transmitted compared to visible red light). My misunderstanding remains, but is reversed for the column on the right. Do let me know what you think of this observation and if I've misunderstood somehow. Thanks. Rizzelet (talk) 07:40, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello @Rizzelet: Thank you very much for your compliment and for spotting my mistake. You're right: I confused absorption for transmission, so the light received should inversely proportional to the absorption graph in File:Oxy_and_Deoxy_Hemoglobin_Near-Infrared_absorption_spectra.png. I'll correct the mistake and vectorise the graph. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 12:18, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As per the coordinates I get from Wikipedia, Chandrayaan-3 is located southeast of the Tycho Crater. Taking Moon landing sites.svg, it will be east of the Tycho Crater.

Zeitpyramide.svg 2023 Update[edit]

The fourth Zeitpyramide block will be installed on September 9 this year,[1] so do you already have a 2023 update of your trimetric projection of it?

✓ Done
@Chris25689: Thanks for telling me. If I remember correctly (it's been a decade!), I added but commented out code for the fourth block. If it's there, please enable it – otherwise, I'll work on it the next chance I get. Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 20:37, 8 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You're welcome and thanks for the update!

Chris25689 and @Cmglee: The image was updated on wikimedia commons but [on wikipedia]. Clicking on the image shows the fourth block but not when it is simply viewed normally. Wretchskull (talk) 08:50, 10 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Wretchskull: By "viewed normally", do you mean the thumbnail in the article or the almost fullscreen Media Viewer? Both show the fourth block on my Firefox on Windows. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:56, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Incorrect SIS 01 47 11 format order since your update 18 April 2016[edit]

Well this is truly a Wikipedia fail... On the 18th April 2016 you updated File:Comparison SIS 014711 paper sizes.svg "Fix swapped F and G, increase spacing and use proper inch symbol."

However until today another image with the unfixed order of F & G was still being on display at both the ISO 216 & Paper size Wikipedia articles! This even led to the gradual rearrangement of the order to the unfixed variant in the article texts themselves in multiple revisions: 21 April 2023, 11 September 2022, 16 December 2020 and 28 October 2014.

I was almost fooled myself until I peeked into a preview of the actual SS 01 47 11 standard and found the error because I couldn't make sense of the formats. Vitdom (talk) 00:17, 26 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Vitdom: Thanks for letting me know. The thumbnails on both pages look fine now. If you refreshed them, thanks! cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 19:12, 26 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Regular polygon Euclidean Steiner tree[edit]

Hi, I noticed that the text of this file in the png preview is a bit off. If I open the svg file it's okay, but in the png the text isn't centre aligned, so the number after the L= isn't visible. Vinickw talk 12:41, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The thumbnail renderer (rsvg) has a regression described on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97233#8977673 . I'll try to work around it. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 14:03, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Generation_timeline.svg Missing Data in Most Recent Edit[edit]

Hello! When viewing File:Generation timeline.svg, the 21:58, 30 June 2023 version successfully shows the rounded grey background... time periods? Not sure what to call them. However, when I view the most recent 00:32, 16 July 2023 version, (on chrome) these time periods are not present. This is also the case on all articles it is included in.

Were they mistakenly removed, or was it done on purpose? I personally found them very helpful.

Thank you for all the work you've done on this image, Knotimpressed (talk) 14:43, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Knotimpressed: Thanks for your compliment and bringing the issue to my attention. I had previously created its en-simple version to make it less cluttered when used in an infobox.
It seems a change in Wikimedia Commons policy has caused it to be displayed by default instead of the default version. When I can, I'll explicitly add an en version to take precedence.
Meanwhile, the default version can be viewed by using this link.

No worries! Happy to help, hopefully you get the chance soon. Knotimpressed (talk) 19:23, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You confront so many interesting issues! Glrx (talk) 19:34, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Glrx: Thanks for monitoring the issue. I guess one bleeds when at the bleeding edge (of SVG) ;-) cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 20:34, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
