Similar image to Lent_calendar.svg

Hi! Is there a similar calendar to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lent_calendar.svg but for the advent sundays? eg with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stir-up_Sunday and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaudete_Sunday etc, That would be really useful! I've tried to find names of the other sundays but haven't been successful. But if you want to make that, I will post them here, if I find them. CatCat (talk) 14:33, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi @CatCat, I'm unfamiliar with this subject and a brief search didn't find anything besides w:Advent Sunday and w:Gaudete Sunday. Try asking at w:Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities. Good luck, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 19:01, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Simplification

Hi Cmglee, I gave your user logo a look.

• You made it 512 × 384 px, viewboxing to 56 × 42. This causes an odd factor of 9.142857... - it is always better to avoid such odd numbers. I tried to redraw it with 56 × 42, which is a bit small and caused decimal fractions - but an exact copy with 512 × 384 px would have caused numerous odd coordinates. I would have chosed e.g. 400 × 300, which gave better measures, without decimal fractions.
• You used cropping (and linecapping). Each one of the incomplete circles will need 20 to 22 bytes, while each one of your use instructions needed 67 bytes - it is much cheaper to draw the six circles one after the other, instead of cloning them. Some of the circles could have been drawn at their position, avoiding to clone them from 0,0.
• The same can be done with the four "spots", so I drew each one directly.
• In my drawing concept, the single path for the circles is drawn with linefeeds, for a better readability; of course it can as well be drawn in one line <path stroke="#000" d="m15,5a7,7 0 1,0 0,9m16,1a7,7 0 1,0-9,0M48,3a7,7 0 1,0 5,7M8,25a7,7 0 1,0 6,13M32,27a7,7 0 1,0 0,9m18-9a7,7 0 1,0 0,9"/> saving a few bytes.
• I rather make descriptions in the file description Infobox, instead of within the SVG code - but this may anybody do as preferred. Some like title and desc.

My concept needs 452 bytes, your original 1413. -- sarang♥사랑 07:40, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

@Sarang: I missed notification of your messages and just seen them. Thanks a lot – very kind of you to work on my logo. I originally wanted to use it in my talk signature but learnt that images are not allowed, so haven't really used it. Amazing work reducing it to 452 bytes: you really know the tricks! Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 01:05, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

SVG drawing

• Hi, it is a great idea of you to fill an image with a circle instead of with a path. I will use it in future!
• Are you really sure that all your drawings are {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0|GFDL}}? Some are sure ineligible.
• You make fine drawings. It would be also fine when you classify them - using the Template:Igen. -- sarang♥사랑 08:44, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

@Sarang: Thanks, my pleasure. I just use the default option. Some may indeed consist of just simple shapes but it's hard to know for sure what's eligible for copyright. I'd use Igen if it were simpler to remember; as it is, the codes are a mystery to me. Looking at Template:Image_generation, what options to use doesn't seem at all obvious.

Hi

File:Nucleosynthesis periodic table.svg Hi, can you edit technetium (43) and promethium (61), because they do occur in nature, plus it will be nice if you add the heavier synthetic elements. Kamran Tetra (talk) 16:05, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. If you take a look at File_talk:Nucleosynthesis_periodic_table.svg, you'll see that there have been many requests for corrections. Considering it has been well-researched and vetted twice by NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day team, I am hesitant to update it unless there is very strong evidence that there is a mistake.

File:Interstellar probes trajectory.svg

Dear CmgLee,

I really love your graphics, and I’d like to ask you about your excellent plot of spacecraft and planets over the last 50 years. This is the first time I’ve sent a message, so I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly or if I’ve sent it twice, so please bear with me!

I’ve been trying to produce an A1-sized map of the largest 150 solar system bodies and spacecraft out to about 150AU, where Voyager 1 currently is. It’ll be a plan view looking down from the ecliptic north pole, with distances on a quasi-logarithmic scale, using data from JPL’s Horizons ephemerides. I’d like to plot most planets’ and spacecrafts’ positions over a period of time – about 100 years for the most distant planets beyond Pluto, and over the period of one orbit for closer planets.

I’ve attached a rough sketch which I created in Microsoft Word, mainly because I don’t know how to use any other programmes, though I can use basic Photoshop and have a very basic understanding of HTML, but I don’t (yet) know anything about SVG or scripts. I’ve only plotted the approximate locations over time of the inner planets from Mercury to Saturn, but I did so using Word text boxes following a circular path. This makes it difficult to plot locations in exactly the right spot on the background circular graph paper.

Ok I tried to upload a screenshot, but I keep getting an error message saying “We could not determine whether this file is suitable” — how would I get round that? Meanwhile I’ve uploaded my screenshot to: https://ibb.co/yQvfhMT

So how did you create your graphic? I’m hoping there’s some magic programme where you just select a planet and the date range, then it automatically plots the circle, but I’ve just read your comment saying that you wrote a Python script, whatever that is.

Could you please let me know how you did it, what software is required, any good resources for teaching myself how to write the script, and any other tips? So far I’ve started compiling the distances and heliocentric longitudes into an Excel table; I’m not that interested in latitudes as I’m only creating a 2D plan, although I’ll probably add some symbols to indicate whether a planet is above or below the ecliptic. The only other complication is that my planned distance scale will be uneven – very roughly 1AU per square on the graph paper for the inner planets, 5AU per square for the outer planets, then 10AU per square for objects beyond Neptune.

Thanks very much! HalcyonGeezer (talk) 13:02, 4 June 2021 (UTC).

Hi @HalcyonGeezer: Thanks for your message and compliment. Nice idea to create a plot for 100 years, though beware that the inner planets will likely be simply solid circles along their orbits; even Jupiter will have gone round around 8.4 times. I expect a diagram with 150 bodies will appear very cluttered, considering mine with 7, plus 5 probes is already rather so. You could omit the year markers, though you would lose context on their relative positions with time.

If you view-source https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/Interstellar_probes_trajectory.svg and delete the first line, you'll get the Python script I used to create the graphic. You're welcome to customise it under the current licence, CC-BY-SA 4.0

Without a full-fledged programming language, the best option I can think of is to use scatter plots in Excel or similar.

Both Word and Photoshop formats are unsupported on Wikimedia as they are proprietary, which I think technically requires licences to write readers for. You can upload PDFs instead.

If you haven't seen it, Solar System Live has several views you can adapt for your purpose. Unfortunately its resolution is pretty low by today's standards.

Hope that's enough to start with. I'd love to see what you come up with.

Cheers,

File:Solar system bodies rotation animation.svg

Hi @Cmglee: ,

I want to translate the texts displayed in Solar system bodies rotation animation.svg to Turkish to use in the article Gezegen (planet in English). But my lack of command in coding and SVG files prevents me from doing it. If you can collaborate with me, I want to translate this file into Turkish. If it's an easy job for you, I provided you the Turkish translations of the words and some minor corrections. If it's not an easy job, then I would want to know how I can translate the words displayed in this file myself. Turkish translations and corrections should be like this:

Turkish translation

1. Jupiter / Jüpiter,
2. Saturn / Satürn,
3. Neptune / Neptün,
4. Uranus / Uranüs,
5. Earth / Dünya,
6. Mars / Mars,
7. Moon / Ay,
8. Mercury / Merkür,
9. Venus / Venüs,
10. Rotation period / Dönme süresi
11. Flattening / Basıklık
12. Axial tilt / Eksen eğikliği
13. The "d"s in rotation period section / g
14. and all percentage symbols (%) must be before the values, not after them. For example: %6.5, %9.8, %1.7

This is all you need to publish a Turkish version of this SVG. I really would appreciate the help. Thank you. --Harald the Bard (talk) 15:34, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

@Harald the Bard: Thanks for your interest in my diagram. I'll try to do that this weekend. Instead of creating a new file, I'll make it a multilingual file. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 22:34, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

@Cmglee: thank you very much for your attention and work. I will use the diagram as soon as I done translating the corresponding part of the article. I really appreciate it, thank you! Cheers, --Harald the Bard (talk) 21:49, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

@Harald the Bard: Glad to help! Thanks, too, for working on article's Turkish translation. Let me know if you think any other STEM illustrations are worth looking into. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:00, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Graph of herd immunity threshold (HIT) vs basic reproduction number (R0)

Hello Cmglee,

I was going to create a HIT vs R0 graph but you have beaten me to it. Congratulations, it is exactly what I wanted to see. There two critical items missing though.

The first is the definition of who makes up the total population. It should be everyone who can catch the diseases. Our politicians are using misleading definitions such as "only people who are eligible to be vaccinated". This is allowing them to make false promises of achieving HIT targets. Please add the qualifier that the curves are for the total population.

The second item is you should provide proper references for the source of the data, back to original publications in reputable peer reviewed journals. This is necessary to give confidence that the graph is based on accurate information. I believe there will be great disappointment with the results of many government vaccination policies and "thresholds" to open up societies. Your graph will be used in some future debates so must be defendable.

I suspect we will be dealing with further covid-19 variants over the next 5+ years. People will need to understand what HIT rate is really required to control the virus. Your graph should be part of that effort.

Thanks for your good work.

Risk board image

Apologies if I'm disobeying Wiki protocols; I'm not familiar with the community and wasn't sure how to communicate with a user. I was looking at an SVG image of the Risk game board (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/Risk_game_board.svg) and I wanted to report what I believe is a problem with it.

File:3_utilities_problem_moebius.svg

Good morning, i saw your file File:3 utilities problem moebius.svg and i noted that the large yellow and the thiny blu lines pass directly from left front sheet to the right front sheet, but in reality they must pass through rear sheet around the hole. May you draw tho circular dashed line around the hole in your work? Thank you and best regards --Ming mm (talk) 09:43, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

p.s. I'm an italian engeneer and rarely write in english, there may be some mistake in what i wrote, forgive me.

Hi @Ming mm, Thanks! No problem about the English: I think I understood you perfectly.

Crossing on a plane

The paths are embedded in the sheet and so appear on both sides of it. If they were on only one side and go around the hole, the blue line would remain closer to the hole and when they reappeared on the other side, they would have swapped positions compared to the diagram and would need to cross. This is equivalent to the case of a simple plane. Feel free to enquire at en:Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Mathematics and CC me. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 09:57, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

File:Visualisation_complex_number_roots.svg

I think the visualization is too cluttered to be useful - writing out the full complex form obscures the fact that for complex numbers, (unit) multiplication is rotation about the origin, so we can just write φ, φζ, φζ², etc. --Wqwt (talk) 22:47, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Wqwt, thanks for the suggestion. I agree that it's pretty cluttered but I couldn't find simpler labels. That's an interesting idea. I haven't encountered φ, φζ, φζ², etc before. Is it in common use? Do you have any good figures for reference? Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:43, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
