Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Deletions

Hi ##, why did you delete File:Illustration of Astatine.jpg? You said that was a consensus, can you show me? Mr. Fulano (talk) 17:53, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

@Mr. Fulano: I didn't delete them (though I did nominate them for speedy deletion). These images have all been on Commons before and were deleted after discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Fake pictures of chemical elements. Double sharp (talk) 23:49, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

I didn't know that, but is not better use this images like representations, like is made with exoplanets images? Mr. Fulano (talk) 20:55, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

@Mr. Fulano: The trouble is that quite a few of these images show things that are physically impossible (already 1600-year half-life Ra is so radioactive that a pure gram of it would self-boil within seconds; calculations are at the Wikipedia reference desk), and in some cases calculations have suggested that the elements shouldn't actually look like that (bulk At is expected to look metallic, for example). So unlike the exoplanet images, they are not even a good reflexion of the current state of knowledge. Double sharp (talk) 23:48, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Ok, now I understand. So, no problems with the deletions. Mr. Fulano (talk) 23:55, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

@Mr. Fulano: Thank you! I'm still holding out some hope that eventually real pictures may show up for some of them (the Po and Ra images we have on Wikipedia seem to be thin platings, which is reasonable and makes one suspect that one day we might manage to get Pm), so if you find any real ones, please don't hesitate to upload them!

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Simple Periodic Table Chart-blocks.svg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Symbol set

Hey DS,

FYI, I gathered all the astronomical/astrological symbols that form a set (same size, line width, recycled graphic elements) in Category:Fixed width astronomical and astrological symbols. That way if you/we/whoever decides they need to be a different weight, they can all be modified. (Preferably with a bot, with manual adjustment only for the asterisk stars.) Kwamikagami (talk) 05:44, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

@Kwamikagami: Sounds great, thanks! Double sharp (talk) 23:18, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Take a look at my recent uploads, if you like. 23 symbols from Stenzel, plus (33) Polyhymnia. That gives us everything up to (52). Let me know if you don't like how any of them came out. (I rather like Laetitia, but might further adjust Harmonia or Atalante. Not sure Aglaja is an improvement - should I revert?) Kwamikagami (talk) 01:19, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
