Add Covid-19 to File:Generation timeline.svg

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]

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]
I'd say 2020. That's when it was declared a pandemic. Gottfriedjacob5 (talk) 21:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Gottfriedjacob5, As "the WHO ended its PHEIC declaration on 5 May 2023", I've added "COVID-19 pandemic" to the timeline as you requested. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 07:28, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moon phases

This image?

Moon phases are incorrect. This is not how we see standing on different latitudes. 58.111.117.29 18:22, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to File:Moon_phases_by_latitude.svg? If so, it has been discussed on en:Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Science/2019_July_14. Do you have an online reference that describes the correct behaviour? cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 15:50, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scientific criticism

The spelling and grammer are atrocious, I assume that you are American "Not Indigenous"? 2A02:C7C:7845:FE00:3C61:FBE4:BD95:7155 09:10, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you're referring to – please elaborate. Regardless, Wikimedia editors come from all around the world, and it behoves us to tolerate one another's shortcomings. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 12:46, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Elemental sourcing periodic table

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]

I see 7 colours in the legend
Hi,
Are you referring to File:nucleosynthesis_periodic_table.svg? I see 7 colours in the legend, the rightmost being an olive grey labelled "Human synthesis // No stable isotopes".
Cheers,

Constellations, equirectangular plot

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]

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]
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

regarding phab:T5593#8664998

 — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 22:16, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[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,
cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 16:35, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Said category has several SVG with purely embedded photographs. I'll propose deleting them. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 16:40, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question on Hollow-face Image

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? Thank you! Jadeywadeyyy (talk) 18:29, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jadeywadeyyy: thanks for your interest in my work. Can you please email me using http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/cmglee? Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 07:37, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Generation timeline update

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]

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). Also, Web3 started being discussed more around 2021, which some argue is the successor to Web 2.0.--204.111.198.147 20:41, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting perspective. As I don't have an expertise in this area, would you mind starting a discussion on file_talk:generation_timeline.svg to seek others' thoughts? Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:11, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
