Misspelling?

I think there is a mispelling on your diagram of the atmosphere. "Noctilucent" is spelled as "noctiluscent". https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Earth%27s_atmosphere.svg Qwed117 (talk) 19:54, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Hurricane Diagram

The labeling concerning rotation of the wonderful cyclone graphic is correct per your "from below" perspective, but sorry, I'm 59 years old and low pressure systems in the northern hemisphere my whole life have been described as rotating counter-clockwise. Standing within hurricanes many times as I did growing up in south FL the rotation direction at the ground was not that noticeable. Satellite images and aircraft images from above storms clearly show the rotation direction and must be the reason why the counter-clockwise denoted spin is spoken of as such. Sorry, but the choice to label the rotation clockwise on the wonderful graphic just causes confusion IMHO. The arrow in your graphic from the perspective of the viewer is counter-clockwise and thus is contrary to the current text label. Do you think the image would have withstood FP review had the text said the storm rotation was counter-clockwise? I'm not a scientist, however I relish logic and clarity. The graphic is amazing...except the single text label I find sadly spoils its ability to be as educational as it could be. To leave it as "clockwise", consider adding "when viewed from below". Thank-you for your attention and consideration! Kind Regards, Ed S. Sept. 6, 2017 12:44 AM ET — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.240.21.18 (talk) 04:45, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Kelvin, writing in regards to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tropical_cyclone&action=submit#/media/File:Hurricane-en.svg. It's been pointed out that the graphic labels rotation as clockwise. However, the circulation at low-levels in an NH TC is counter-clockwise (at upper-levels, the anticyclone above it will relate clockwise). You've shown all this with the arrows correctly, and the graphic is perfect, except your labeling at the bottom left of the figure. Any chance you could change that? Thanks a lot :-) JeopardyTempest (talk) 10:24, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

@JeopardyTempest: The labeling is correct, the storm rotates counterclockwise from below, but clockwise from above. The red circular arrow is traveling in the correct direction. This was brought up when the picture stood FP review.—♥ Kelvinsong talk 19:23, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

You know, I can actually see what you're saying I believe... you're saying if you look up in the sky at it, it rotates clockwise above you from your perspective? A unique way of looking at it... 15 years of meteorology, can't say I've ever heard it described that way... though honestly I KNOW I actually struggled with quite a few ideas\equations for a while in college because of exactly this. I wonder if it's some kind of education perpetuation... or based upon dominant experiences... or brain weighting... or self image or who knows what that some people are most comfortable one way while others are the opposite.

Definitely can still be seen as a perplexing way of putting it... it would be like me telling you that you've raised your left hand when you put up what you see as your right... perspective is sure a peculiar thing. I'd say that your figure sits contrary to the way science has chosen to define the right hand rule. But honestly we all say things like "the sun rises"... and scientists still debate the "ficticious" quality of Coriolis and centripetal\centrifugal forces... so what's in word at all when it comes to perspective differences like this? I just wouldn't be too surprised if you end up with some more meteorologists (or just regular folk) stopping on by to ask again. But shan't be a problem here. Thanks for helping me understand your thinking :-) JeopardyTempest (talk) 07:52, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Small error in the chloroplast cycle image

Hi Kelvin, I just noticed a small error in your picture for the chloroplast cycle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chloroplast_division.svg). In the lower right you switched the labels of outer and inner membrane. Just a small error but you had me confused there for a second.

wait why are you trying to delete them lmao—♥ Kelvinsong talk 01:57, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

You know how when you see an article with a photo in the lead, and you know you could make a better diagram that would point out all the good stuff, and you spend (more like "shoot") a few days coming up with something pretty neat looking, and you add it to the article, and someone comes along and removes it and puts the cruddy photo back? And you talk to that person and they tell you that they liked the photo better just 'cause? So you open up an RfC to get feedback from other editors and at first they seem to be supporting the diagram but then the balance tips against it and the reasonings are thing like "It's too cluttered" or "I wasn't sure what it was until I read the caption" but any idiot would know exactly what it was? And this is the only article for which that diagram would have been relevant, so without it there's no wikiproject anywhere that will be using it? Which means it shouldn't be retained for the sake of retention? And people are such fools? That's why deleted. Also, I am a little bitter. But that's me! KDS4444 (talk) 03:11, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Dude that happened to me a lot I remember. some people on EN can be territorial and very conservative towards changes on “their” articles, don’t take it personally. && like as for the RfCs, they generally have good suggestions and you’d do well to listen a little and try to improve the diagram instead of deleting it uk? && when people say that a diagram is cluttered what that usually means is you didn’t use enough distinction on the “main” contours of the picture and not enough hierarchy in the labeling.

ps, i saw you are trying to get rid of File:Blausen 0864 ToothDecay.svg, I read the RfC and i think most of the editors were on your side, and wikimedia projects in general have a sort of tenth-man culture where people will take the opposing viewpoint just for the sake of diversity of thought. You shouldn’t get offended when someone takes the other side in these things, that’s the whole point of having requests for comment. btw the “readability” of the tooth could be greatly improved just by bumping up the font size a little and using a brighter color for the tooth and darker for the rest—♥ Kelvinsong talk 01:19, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Translating to other language

Hi! First, I really like your illustrations! It's so simple and very clear.

Okay, move on. I'm interested in translating to other language (bahasa Indonesia). Any guide on how to translate (especially on fonts) and how to name file when uploading?

S Rifqi (talk) 11:09, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Almost all of my images contain an invisible text layer which lives on top of the entire document. This layer is usually called Text. This layer is baked into a visible outline layer usually called Text display. To edit the text, delete the display layer and edit the text layer, and create a new outlined display layer (with Text to Paths) before you make the text layer invisible again and save the file. All of the text objects should be aligned correctly so all you have to do is replace the words. You will also need a copy of the Neue Frutiger font family, or a metric-compatible font. Frutiger is not free, I’ve been meaning to convert all my images to use an open source font, as many of them were created before we had great open source sans serif families available, but this hasn’t been a priority.

Thank you very muchTttrung (talk) 03:56, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

I think this was brought up when the diagram was first created; the reasoning is that there is still a fairly ‘agreed upon’ fuzzy boundary, just like we have a boundary for the troposphere of earth, even though it can vary by miles. —♥ Kelvin13 talk 01:45, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Hurricane Northern Hemisphere, illustration

Hi, text says clockwise, but arrow shows counter-clockwise (which I think is correct.) Outflow arrow is clockwise, but why would outflow be opposite to rest of storm? (Might be, but I couldn't explain it.) — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.217.178.179 (talk) 04:57, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Agreed, diagram clearly shows counter-clockwise rotation, which is definitely the case with northern hemisphere hurricanes. Previous versions of the file correctly identified it as counter-clockwise. I believe the edit history indicates that the text layer is editable, so I hope it's an easy fix! P Aculeius (talk) 04:08, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Earth diagram

Hey there, Kelvin! I just came across another of your amazing planetary drawings in the article on "mantle (geology)". I don't know if you thought much about the association between labels and the thing they are labeling (how could you not?) but as I looked at the diagram I found myself confused by a few things that I wanted to point out to you (I could just go ahead and modify the diagram myself, of course, but that seems terribly presumptuous). From the top of the image down, then:

1.) The first thing I noticed was that the line for the "rigid mantle" extends into that structure by such a tiny margin that anyone seeing it within the article I just mentioned would be pretty unlikely to notice it— in other words, I can't tell (from the thumbnail diagram) exactly what the "rigid mantle" refers to here unless I click on it and open it up (which is a step that many viewers of the article won't bother to do, I am guessing).

2.) Some of the letters on the right hand edge of the words "basaltic" and "granitic", which are white, become kind of hard to read at the end because they are located over parts of the earth that are also largely white.

3.) I am still not 100% sure what the words "stiffer mantle" refer to, because there is no line between it and a specific part of the diagram and because the word itself, runs across at least three distinct layers of the diagram.

4.) Because of the realistic way you have shown the surface of the earth, I cannot tell what the line for "Continent" connects to— obviously I know what a continent is, but this diagram doesn't look like it confirms or refutes my own understanding because the swirling cloud cover makes this difficult to distinguish.

5.) backing up a bit, I only just noticed that there is a line from the "crust" section to an actual layer on the planet— this line is so thin and subtle that I did not know it was there until I looked very carefully at the image on Commons, and I reader of a Wikipedia article will probably never be able to see this line.

6.) The line for "atmosphere" seems to point at the surface of the earth, which is a little disorienting.

7.) The line for "hydrosphere" has the same problems that the one for "continent" does— I can't tell from this image what it is referring to because of the cloud layer.

I have some suggestions about how some of these things might be fixed, but I don't want to presume to know how you might fix them yourself (if you are at all interested in doing so... I know that once I finish a drawing, I often feel like "That one is now done! Wshew!" and the last thing I want to do is go back over it and make half a dozen small changes to it at the behest of some other editor). But please do consider them, as I think they might make this a better, more useful drawing. THANKS! KDS4444 (talk) 03:37, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

The earth picture is now how I would have drawn it now, it’s very old. If it was drawn later I probably would have made it look more like File:Return of the moon diagram.svg. Maybe I’ll redraw it someday.—♥ Kelvin13 talk 15:59, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

FP of Mercury

Hi, I've been admiring your work, and recently sent an image I made of the insides of the planet Mercury for Featured Picture consideration, but so far it isn't going very well (see here) and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Can you give me any advice on this? Thank you very much! A loose necktie (talk) 04:39, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

A loose necktie, I saw your post here and your nomination at FPC. The most common reason that an image fails to attract support is that voters are not immediately wowed by it. The small canvas size you used also makes it harder for people to see a large (and therefore impressive) image on their screen. They may assume that this small size is all you are offering (and no amount of tweaking the FP rules will change that -- people do not read the instructions!) Another reason for failure is when you get an oppose or comment like Wilfredor's that does not appear to have been resolved. Most reviewers at FPC are photographers or at least are more familiar with judging photographs than judging diagrams. The diagram of Mercury is similar to what I'd expect in any textbook or article, and so it appears mundane. Look at the other FPs of planets/moons/etc. I think rather than fancy arty interiors (of which we know nothing other than depth) these images include other bodies in the background (where appropriate) or a wealth of information (e.g. File:Saturn diagram.svg). Perhaps Mercury just isn't interesting enough. -- Colin (talk) 08:48, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Colin, I see you are understanding some of my frustration. There isn't anything in the req1uirements for FP (that I have read!) which indicates that the image must be breathtaking in order to warrant a support vote, and I get the sense that other editors aren't able or just aren't willing to look at the existing criteria, ask themselves if this or that computer generated image meets those criteria, and then offer their support for it. I worked very long to create this image of Mercury, all of it, of course, volunteer, and was hoping to see some acknowledgement for the final product. I take it that my pointing out that the image meets all those criteria but happens to be a somewhat dull kind of planet means that my image will never become featured. I've tried to spice up the innards of the thing with lava filters but I guess maybe there was just no point. There are't any planets in the background of Mercury to add "wow", and it doesn't have any moons (and I was told my background stars were unnecessary and removed them!!). The only other prominent significant interplanetary object is the Sun. A loose necktie (talk) 15:58, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

@Colin: @A loose necktie: “small size” is honestly a silly criticism to give to a vector diagram. They are resolution independent. Personally I prefer it when diagrams use a smaller pixel resolution so that the pixel grid can contribute meaningfully to alignment and layout of elements in the image. “mercury isn’t interesting enough” a subject is even more peculiar complaint, I’m sure many astronomers would disagree. That being said images should not automatically get FP status just because they take a long time, and the image certainly has a lot of room for improvement. personally i’d replace the lava textures with solid material because it’s a little distracting, and up the lighting contrast. i did an image of the moon (an equally “boring” subject) a while back but i think it turned out pretty well. —♥ Kelvin13 talk 20:30, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Most of us know they are resolution independent but not every reviewer will spot it is an SVG or understand how that is different to PNG. They will click on the image and in this case they got a 340x230px to examine rather than 4000x2000px in the moon example. This is just a practicality and affects not just FPC reviewers but also anyone browsing Commons to look at the image. To see Mercury in my browser at any size larger than that given, I have to use one of the 'other resolutions' links in small text, and if they aren't big enough for me, I need to get familiar with MediaWiki thumbnailer URL syntax. All rather horrible. Your concern with aligning pixel grids is really just a problem that concerns the artist but not the viewer.

I've taken many photos that cost me a lot of time arranging/travelling/photographing/processing but that in the end were not good enough for FP. The Commons:Image guidelines do say that FPs 'must have a "wow factor"'. This, and that they are among our 'finest', rather than merely 'good' is what separates FP from QI.

I'm not at all claiming that Mercury isn't interesting as a subject, but that it isn't as visually interesting as some other planets. That's going to make it harder to get 'wow' than a more visually exiting planet. Kelvin managed that with the Moon by providing lots of information about named surface features. I recently watched a TV program about the Voyager craft and remember their disappointment that Uranus turned out to be really really boring to look at.

Wrt to 'boring subjects' they just require more talent to make an image with wow. Compare this diagram and this photo of a Philips shaver with this photo of a Philips shaver. The latter is an FP. You aren't going to get an FP with a merely informational diagram. It has make the viewer go 'wow'. -- Colin (talk) 09:53, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Dear Kelvin, Sorry if my comment was very rude or very rough, however, my mother language is not English. So, to avoid misinterpretations I try to talk as little as possible and go straight to the point, so maybe my criticisms were oil free. I know how difficult some criticisms could be, however, leaving emotions aside and solving the problems indicated is the way to improve the quality of your work. I have also made SVG designs and it is something that appeals to me, however, I used to use inkscape.

Hi, dear Kelvin13. I can`t find any editable labels for Jupiter_diagram.svg Mostly, I use Notepad2 for text translation to save the styles of text. But there no text in svg, and there no labels for editing in InkScape. What should I do for easyly translation of your illustrations of planets? Regards. --Kirill Borisenko (talk) 10:14, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

The editable text is stored in a hidden layer; to edit it, you need to change the text layer, copy it to the visible text layer, and convert it to paths using the appropriate fonts. See this tutorial —Kelvin13 talk 07:20, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
