[edit] Translation from french of a diagram

Original

English captions

French captions

Numeric captions

Request: Here is a diagram that could be translated into english. --Enr-v 15:20, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Bombe atomique = nuclear weapon
• Munition ou obus = Munition or shell
• Uranium surenrichi à 95% = Highly enriched uranium (HEU)
• Uranium appauvri = depleted uranium
• Combustible MOX = MOX fuel
• Plutonium = Plutonium
• Déchets ultimes = nuclear waste
• Uranium de retraitement = Reprocessed uranium
• Séparation, retraitement = Nuclear reprocessing
• Combustible non retraité = not reprocessed nuclear fuels
• Combustible irradié = spent nuclear reactor fuels
• Centrales nucléaires = Nuclear power station
• Uranium enrichi à 3% = Low-enriched uranium (LEU)
• Fabrication de combustible = uranium enrichment
• Mines d'uranium = uranium mining

Graphist opinion:

I volunteer to create an SVG version of this diagram for more translatability. ChaosNil 21:06, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

it can help if you use this image : Image:SchémaDechetsNucleaires en.svg --Enr-v 22:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Use numbers instead of name tags for the SVG then. That way everyone can use the same image, and the description would go with the picture whenever necessary. — Kieff | Talk 23:07, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, these aremy from-scratch renditions. ChaosNil 02:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

good work. but there is a mistake on the arrow that goes to Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU not HRU :-( because it should come from the "uranium enrichment" circle.--Enr-v 20:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh I misinterpreted the original diagram. I'll fix it tonight. And the caption for HEU. ChaosNil 22:21, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

While I'm at it I'll do the diagrams from Nuclear_fuel_cycle ChaosNil 01:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I fixed the diagrams on commons. ChaosNil 03:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Note that depleted is misspelled on the English one. And I'm confused as to 1. what the colors correspond to, and 2. what the dashed/solid lines correspond to. --Fastfission 04:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Dang. Fixed spelling. As for the colours I presume they are vaguely how 'radioactive' or something. My rendition doesn't carry this out completely consistantly. If its important I can change that of course. I don't know what the broken lines mean. ChaosNil 04:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

broken lines mean "possible" : it is possible, but not obligat for industrials to enrich uranium 95%, whereas it is a prerequisite to produce depleted uranium with enriched uranium. it is also not obligate to reprocess used nuclear fuel.

remark : the french image was beautiful, and the new one is not very beautiful. it is a pitty to give a free licence to do such a work.--86.202.139.40 (Enr-v) 21:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

The first part of your post was fine, but the second part does not qualify as the world's most constructive remark. If you can draw something better, go ahead and do it. If you can't then don't post such comments. Valentinian ^{T / C} 22:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

i mean that the original image look better than the new one : why not simply translate in english the original image? i think it would be less work for a better result. i can try to do it by myself but i'm not very experienced with photoshop. Thank you anyway for the work you've done.--Enr-v 18:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I like the newer diagram better myself. It's much more obvious as to where to start and is more clean and crisp. Also, you can't make .svg's in Photoshop as far as I know.≈Krasniy^t/_c 00:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

new or old diagramm : it's a matter of taste. as far as i'm concerned, i like better the older than the newer. you are right about photoshop, but i can't manage with Inkscape either.--Enr-v 11:28, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Three Mile Island Schematic

Original

first version, no labels

version with labels, deriv of first version

Article(s): Three Mile Island accident

Request: From Category:Images which should be in SVG format.↔NMajdan•talk•EditorReview 15:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Agreed this could use an SVG conversion (and also make one without English labels to upload to the commons for multilingual use). I'll work on this.-Andrew c 21:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I uploaded a version with no labels. However, it didn't show up in the thumbnail (you can download the file and it looks fine on its own). Any ideas what I did wrong? Does wikipedia not render gradients properly? I've had this happen before when I first tried to imbed fonts in an Illustrator SVG, but this image was done in Inkscape. Hmm... feel free to add labels and/or fix the thumbnail issue. I'll try and work on it more tomorrow.-Andrew c 03:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I figured it out, forgot to delete the unused layers.-Andrew c 13:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I've labeled the diagram, and substituted {{{vva}}} for {{{SVG}}}. Stannered 22:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:DNA orbit animated small.gif

Original

Articles: Found in the DNA article.

Request: This animated gif is for a full (360 degree) orbit around a DNA molecule, however it repeatedly fails to load fully and only does a partial orbit. Is anyone able to optimize/fix it so it loads more reliably.

There are also two similar images, Image:A-DNA orbit animated small.gif and Image:Z-DNA orbit animated small.gif, which could use the same treatment. - Zephyris _Talk 10:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

Running it through the gif optimizer in gimp makes it all of 15768 bytes smaller (original file size: 675158). Not a big improvement, so thats the extent of my skills in this area. :) Maybe somebody who knows more about gif animations can make it actually appreciably smaller. Reducing it to 64 colours makes it 480631 bytes, but I don't know if the loss of quality is wanted. ChaosNil 18:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Any further loss of quality is undesireable - its hard to make the structure of DNA clearer with a lower colour depth. At least there's no error in the gif itself, it seems to be a plain file size issue. - Zephyris _Talk 11:56, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
