[edit] License tagging for Image:Test Card G Pye.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Test Card G Pye.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Flashing animated GIFs

I just wanted to let you know that I've been replacing your animated images in the ZX Spectrum graphic modes article with links. The reason for this is that I'm afraid they could cause seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. See the W3C's guidelines on this issue at this link. Just thought I'd let you know. --Fastfission 14:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Good, fine for me, I didn't think about that... sorry if someone was affected :-( Thanks for fixing it. I just tried to simulate the interlace effects.

[edit] Shuttle Buran program

Hello. Thanks for your edits over at Shuttle Buran program and associated pages. Would you be able to provide references for the material you've added, please, so that it is verifiable? Thanks. Mike Peel 21:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Shure, just didn't had the time. All the references are those present on the main Buran program page, and I'll try to sort it out. A major source is [1], but most of the data is on the Russian version, and I had to use a web translator... --Ricnun 22:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Galileo’s RTGs

I don’t believe for a second that this is a “whacky conspiracy theory”. Is it merely a coincidence that the black spot appeared at exactly the correct time one would expect it to were the story true? Is it so hard to believe that the pressure at 600km beneath the upper limits of Jupiter’s atmosphere could crush a plutonium 238 pellet to supercritical mass and initiate a chain reaction leading to a nuclear explosion? I don’t believe so and it’s only a link anyway. To prevent anymore hostility I won’t insert it again, but I think it was wholly unreasonable to remove the link with the note “no way is that going in here!” Miller 14:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I didn't remove your link and didn't call it “whacky conspiracy theory” :-) I just stated that it's speculation and unverified. On an encyclopedia information must be refiable and not subject to discussion. Perhaps this sort of information belongs in a "Galileo speculation" article. Perhaps you can create that, I won't object. If TV series are on Wikipedia why not black spots on Jupiter ;-)?--Ricnun 14:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Sorry I appeared sulky there. I think it was someone else who did that not you. Looking at your user page it is probable that you know a lot more about Astronomy than I do, but I still think it’s an interesting story to be linked to – it isn’t actually mentioned in the body of the article. Oh well, if it’s left on the talk page people will still be able to read it and maybe even have a laugh at such an outrageous event occurring. Do you believe the story is true in the face of the evidence? It would certainly be funny if it were! Thanks. Miller 18:49, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
    • I keep an open mind, but I don't believe in anything that is on pages like "The Enterprise Mission". Not that I don't find it interesting, and some nice links to good raw data are sometimes present at the site, but it IS a conspiracy/speculation site. What they consider "evidence" look like coincidence and biased presentation of ocurrences to me ;-) Anyway, I think that all opinions have a place, even here, on an Encyclopedia. Just put them in the right category (talk page, speculation page, whatever). This should make everybody happy! For example, there's an article on ghosts :-) --Ricnun 21:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:14_9_on_4_3_.jpg

Source of this image? Taken from a copyrighted website? Screenshot? Such a high quality? How do you receive this channel? Tv or live stream? --Enlighter1 18:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

  • The source is on the image licensing information. It's a simple live capture of 768x576 PAL composite video from a satellite decoder. So it's kind of "half-digital" sourced image.--Ricnun 18:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 55 Cancri, Upsilon Andromedae images

Hey, thanks for putting those artworks into the articles, it's great to see people putting that kind of effort in. I'll just point out that the atmospheric circulation patterns on hot-Jupiters would look very different to those on outer system gas giants: here's the result of a simulation of HD 209458 b: [2]. In addition, there's been some work done on modelling extrasolar planet atmospheres [3]. For Upsilon Andromedae, the inner planet is predicted to have silicate clouds (the simulated spectrum corresponds to a bluish-green colour), the middle one is predicted to be cloudless (bluish colour) and the outer one is predicted to have water clouds (bright white clouds). For 55 Cancri, the inner gas giant is predicted to have large amounts of alkali metal absorption in the atmosphere (giving a very deep blue colour), the middle one I'd guess is a cloudless one like Upsilon Andromedae c (though this is not modelled in the paper), and the outer one is predicted to have water clouds. It might be a good idea to try and represent this in the art. Chaos syndrome 18:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, I had those images on my personal page and just uploaded them here. Yes, I know about planet apearance, but I hope that in representing all the planets the same way, just changing size and distance from the star, I'll avoid speculation. Specially on a global system overview image. I'll try to do what you sugest for individual planets. I have celestia and can create the apropriate textures and use them there. But there's the question of actual planet size... I would be interesting to make images using a common scale, and compare all planets. For now I just have Celestia's information, and I don't know if it would be a good data souce for an Encyclopedia. I'll thing about this and contribute in the best way possible. Perhaps some generic "planet globes" for each planet category/apearance that we could put on infoboxes would be nice.Ricnun 12:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
    • While I see your point about speculation, there's also the problem that representing a Jupiter-like circulation on a hot Jupiter is definitely incorrect. I've seen several studies of the meteorology on hot Jupiters and they all come out with a pattern like the one I linked. In any case, provided the reasons for depicting a planet in a certain way are referenced to scientific papers (e.g. if we are going to use the five-class system for giant planets, make sure it's a case dealt with in that paper) or other such reliable sources, and it is made clear that these are artistic depictions based on those papers rather than actual images, I'd think that would be perfectly acceptable. As for planet radii, the transitsearch.org website has calculations based on a theoretical model (linked to from that site) which seems to reproduce Jupiter and most of the observed transiting planets quite well.
