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]

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".

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.
Cheers,

P.S. I managed to contact Timwi (talk · contribs) who very kindly found me a new four-colouring. I've summarised the process on File_talk:Constellations,_equirectangular_plot.svg#New_four-colouring. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 19:17, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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,

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]

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]

Mach band cross.svg

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]

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]

File:Pulse oximetry principle.svg

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]

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]

New version for the file File:CMYK screen angles.svg

I have upload a new version with imho better colors (ie, it uses the cyan in the CMYK color space, approximatively #00a3d9, not the pure RGB cyan #00FFFF, and same for the magenta and yellow). I have added a "multiply" blend mode, instead using an opacity below 1.0 for the mixing of the dots. I hope this is correct for you. Quark67 (talk) Quark67 (talk) 17:49, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for updating the diagram and telling me about style="mix-blend-mode: multiply;", @Quark67: that's really useful to learn.
Can you please add to the file description how you converted yellow to #fff151, cyan to #00a3d9 and magenta to #c62f7c? I couldn't find conversion factors in en:CMYK color model?

Chandrayaan 3

Hi, Cmglee!

I'm writing this to request a change to the file that you uploaded regarding the moon landing sites i.e. File:Moon landing sites.svg because yesterday an Indian lunar exploration spacecraft Chandrayaan 3 has landed safely in the south pole of the lunar surface. I saw that you have made many updates to that file whenever a soft landing is successful. Can you please update the same with Chandrayaan 3? Regards 122.185.181.102 07:45, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Cmglee: in case he does not respond. I may create a separate SVG file if necessary. Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 08:23, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'll do it later today. Meanwhile, could you please help me identify where on the moon's photo the south pole landing site is? Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 08:27, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know the exact coordinates of Chandrayaan-3 right now, but the south pole is marked as S in File:Moon-map.png. I hope this helps you. Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 08:43, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's difficult to identify a point on the moon's limb due to severe distortion in the 2D projection. Would you be able to find some references that point to it in a photograph as seen from Earth similar to the one in the SVG? Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 09:09, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[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. Although it is difficult to point on the Moon's lime due to 2D projection distortions, Chandrayaan-3's location is close to the Antarctic Circle (69.367621 deg S, compared to Antarctic Circle's 60 deg S). Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 09:37, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
http://reuters.com/graphics/INDIA-SPACE/zjvqjxbnxpx/graphic.jpg is the best I've found. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 09:42, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
While it does show the landing site of Chandrayaan-3, it does not identify the Tycho Crater, which is useful to approximate its location in Moon landing sites.svg. However, we can still approximate Chandrayaan-3's location using the location of Surveyor 7. Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 09:46, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, @Sbb1413: as you've likely seen, I've located the landing site based on a few distinctive features emanating from the Tycho crater.
I took the photograph in Sydney, so the south pole should be visible. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 22:48, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How high a resolution? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Generation_timeline.svg/2560px-Generation_timeline.svg.png is 2560 pixels by 1600 pixels. Change 2560px accordingly.
