scale of image and timestamp

This file could use a bar with scaled km and mile units as well as according time stamps, it would really help understand and interpret this picture. Are there any information? 91.96.145.170 23:46, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for the late response but I don't think there's a km/mi scale when you create images or gifs on the worldview website where I created this gif from sorry. Cyclonetracker7586 (留言) 13:01, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

That's a pity, but i don't think it needs to be accurate, it would still help with approximate data, at least to get a gist of what dimensions we're looking at; this must be hundrets of kilometers there in width and length. I wouldn't see the problem with a scale that says "approx. this and that km/mi" :) 91.96.205.41 14:48, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Sufficient data has been added to file description, altering the animation isn't necessary anymore (still welcome anyway i think) Thanks a lot :) 91.96.205.41 19:05, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

No problem Cyclonetracker7586 (留言) 20:15, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Scale on image

It would be nice if somebody capable could say a scale bar to the image, as there is no telling how big it is now unless you click on the image and read the details. SkyLined (留言) 20:16, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

SkyLined, while I can't add a scale bar to the image itself, I've noted in the description the width of the image and size of the plume (about 1000 km and 500 km, respectively). Hope this helps. — Huntster (t @ c) 21:20, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, I am the unnamed IP from above. I managed to put a scale and Timestamps to the pictures. If someone could help with proper daytimes for each image would be really helpful, but first of all, am I allowed to alter your image this way? [1]

Ellutan, if I may make a suggestion, keep a "clean" original version and upload a second image under an appended but otherwise identical filename with the scale and times and then link the two together. That way, we give our customers the maximum options for whatever their purposes may be. — Huntster (t @ c) 02:04, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Huntster, I tried to do so - except for the filename, sorry, didnt know that but I feel I could skip that.

I know, it is not really obvious, but I tried to post my entry like this: [2] above already ^^, I don't know how to link properly, since I am new to wikimedia, if you could help would be awesome :) But indeed, it felt not right just replacing it due to options to choose from. I hope I did in your favor. :)

Ellutan, you can link like this: [[:File:Hunga tonga.gif]]. If you would like to rename the file, I can do that for you, just let me know what filename you'd like to give it. If you ever have any questions on how to do things on Commons, please leave a note on my discussion page and I'll be happy to help! — Huntster (t @ c) 03:02, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
