[edit] Please link images

Hello Joey-das-WBF!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. EugeneZelenko (talk) 16:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Colours of Sligo.svg

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful informations about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

[edit] Redirect canceled

Thanks a lot for your effort in the field of flags. Just a notice: I cancelled the redirect from Image:Flag of Tachov.svg to Image:Flag of Soacha.svg and uploaded a separate version for Tachov, created by myself. IMHO each flag (however identical in appearance) should have its own description page as categories, explanations of the symbolics behing, dates of adoption of the flag etc. may differ. Also the completely strange city in name of the file could be pretty confusing. --Miaow Miaow (talk) 01:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I already asked on the WikiProject Flags what to do with flags that are identical in appearance but for different purposes/countries/etc. Sadly I found no definitive answer.

But I agree that having no description for duplicate flags is confusing if not misleading. I just tried to weigh this against having duplicates that might be deleted without warning for being exact duplicates. Granted, one could cheat here with image sizes, colors, capitalization of color codes in SVG, etc. to prevent them from showing up as exact dupes. I'm just too lazy for that :D

But I already decided to no longer redirect new flags that are already there. It's just that it's hard now to find the redirects I did again :/ – but they were just a few, a lot less than flags I made.

But thanks for pointing me to it. --Johannes Rössel (talk) 08:56, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flags colours

Hey, i've seen you are using the colours we defined in a project of Wikipedia in Spanish. But I wouldn't call it "FIAV" colours, because the FIAV is a vexilological association, and they just created the letters code system to define colours for flags, not that RGB code colours. So, it is more like a Wikipedia colours for FIAV codes ;). I feel happy they are being used by other users, because there are a lot of work behind it; as you could see in the discussion, even if you don't understand spanish, is about how the simply colours were selected (an numeric RGB average of an enough sample of current flags) and then a derivative standard process for the other colours. Also, as we try to make works from a written reference, we made a convertion relation for nominal colours and Wikipedia/FIAV colours (that is because many legal texts of many spanish cities and towns the description of the flags use less technical words like "sky blue" or "marine blue"), so that convertion allows us to adapt that nominal colours always in the same Wikipedia/FIAV colours pattern. Hope it can help you in any way :) --HansenBCN (talk) 09:48, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Should be SVG

Should be SVG

Should not be SVG

Please be more careful when tagging images with {{svg|chemical}}. Only simple structural formulae, like this one or this one, should be recreated as SVG. Molecular models like this one or this one are best as PNGs; trying to recreate an image like that as vector artwork would give inaccurate results, not to mention a huge filesize :) Best wishes, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 22:31, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, as those also only contain of simple shapes, lines and gradients a accurate vector representation is possible. They do not exhibit self-shadowing, perspective view or other complex rendering effects. As for the file size, I doubt it'd be much larger as SVG. Although images like those may best be automatically generated instead of hand-drawn. I just lack the data for that. As of now, however, I agree that those can remain PNGs, probably there is noone who would volunteer to create them as vector image. --Johannes Rössel (talk) 22:40, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

My main concern is actually accuracy, as in the questionable accuracy of hand-drawing a replacement for an automatically generated image. (As for the complex rendering effects such as those you described above, most protein images feature them, although I've only seen one tagged with {{svg|chemical}} so far.) Thank you for understanding, and keep up the good work! Fvasconcellos (t·c) 23:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] State Diagram for BGP

Hi Joey,

I am not sure if I am doing this correctly.

In reference to the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) page I believe I noticed a mistake in the SVG state diagram for BGP. The arrow from connect -> idle should appears to be in the reverse direction. If this is not the case then it would not be possible to leave the idle state once in this state.

Hello, I don't know exactly why the diagram is that way. I based the SVG on File:Bgp-fsm.jpg and I copied the arrows precisely as they were. But now as I read the text in the corresponding WP article, I agree that the arrow has to be reversed. I will change this later this evening (or go ahead if you want to do it). —Johannes Rössel (talk) 17:58, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Hallo Joey-das-WBF. Bitte kategorisiere keine hochauflösenden PNG-Strukturformeln in diese Wartungskategorie. Danke. --Leyo 09:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Already noted after your first deletion of that cat, since you helpfully included a link. —Johannes Rössel (talk) 18:43, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
