[edit] Contributions to "Mouthpiece (brass)"

I noticed you created a nice table with the effect of each element of the mouthpiece. I've been meaning to do this ever since I created the pretty diagram for that article (1 or 2 years ago), but never got round to it! Thanks for your work.--Dbolton 02:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Contributions to the Pathway Project

Hi Zepyris, I need to say that the work that the Pathways Project has done is incredible! Glycolysis has improved beyond belief, there is no comparison between before and after. Anyways to the meat of it -- I have been doing some work for a bit now towards pathways. I have drawn diagrams for the TCA cycle, the pentose phosphate pathway, the Calvin Cycle, and the Hatch Slack pathway. But I love the style that the new glycolysis page has taken (with the data boxes for each reaction, the look, and the comprhensive explanations), and I think it is the way to go. I'd love to know what you (the project) think is the best way I can help out. Is there a place for my 'pathway overview' diagrams? I could try to standardize a format for them all (colour, ways to show stereospecificty, style etc.) so they better fall in line with an overall design. I would love to see all the pathways treated similarly so they can be quickly understood. what do you think!? Adenosine | Talk 05:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC) ---- P.S. I like some of the stuff you've done with your User page and Talk page, I'm gonna use some if you don't mind...

[edit] png to svg

Hi Zephyris, re scalable vector graphics: did you try http://www.inkscape.org/? MarkAnthonyBoyle 02:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, got but avoid using, I much prefer microsoft expression, which can only export to .ai...
I have done it in inkscape... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Helicopter_AnatomySVG.svg, should i have uploaded it over your png or started a new file like this? i wanst sure ;) im a noob too... Ryanlerch 03:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Im pretty sure it has to be uploaded under another file name (cos of the different file type)...- Zephyris Talk 11:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your images on de.wikipedia

Hi, may I use your z-DNA .gif for an article on z-DNA on the German de.wikipedia? Pls answer here.

--89.56.181.101 18:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC) (Mr.crispy)

As per the GFDL you can move the image to the wikimedia commons/german wiki for use. See for an example of how this should best be done. - Zephyris Talk 20:42, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your help. --Mr.crispy 21:01, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image talk:A-DNA, B-DNA and C-DNA.png

Noticed your comment in the Image talk page. Just upload it again with the correct name, tag the old image with {{badname}} (add a pipe character after "badname" followed by the name of the new image) and the incorrectly-named one will be speedied. Hope this helps, Fvasconcellos 12:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Permission request

Hi Zephyris. I must say I really like your pretty pictures. I would like to use the one with the sucrose specific porin in the introduction part of my PhD thesis (which is about gene regulatory networks). I'll be happy to license that whole part of the thesis under the GFDL, but I'm not too thrilled about having to print several pages of license text (in 180 copies) just for two images (yours and one by Mstroeck). So I'm ever so kindly asking for your permission to reproduce the image in my thesis without accompanying it with the full license text, while still adhering to the GFDL spririt, providing a link to the license, and crediting you. Carl T 11:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

That sounds fine! Nice and officially: I, Richard Wheeler, give you (user Carl T) permission to use, for the purpose of your PhD thesis, the image "Sucrose specific porin 1A0S.png" as published by me on http://en.wikipedia.org as the user Zephyris, on the conditions that I am credited as the author of the image and a link to the GFDL is given in place of a full copy of its text. - Zephyris Talk 11:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I humbly thank you for your kindness. Carl T 09:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Can the image you uploaded Image:Amonite Cropped.jpg, be used for the userbox User:The Raven's Apprentice/Userboxes/User Fossils, which has not had an image for a month now? Please let me know if it's alright on my talk page. Good job on your other images by the way, keep up the good work. --Nehrams2020 06:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kudos!

Just wanted to say that your pictures/illustrations/animations are incredible. I came across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DNA_orbit_animated.gif through the FA of the day, looked at your userpage, and found your plethora of beautiful pictures. Thanks for making Wikipedia such a pretty place! BuddingJournalist 12:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DIC Microscopy

Thanks a lot man. Those helped out a decent amount. I actually had a guy at our university who does imaging come on down and give me like an hour crash course on how to use my scope. That helped out a ridiculous amount. The guy who left and I inherited it from told me to never touch any of the settings, which is the worst advice possible. Thanks again man, I appreciate it. -Ryan Rjkd12 19:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Ha. The problem with inheriting a DIC scope is you are expected to do a lot with it and produce a lot of data ;). Are you on AIM or yahoo?
Hey man. On a side note I have a few people I wanna chat with using the new google chat. I have spent the last 30 mins trying to create accounts and make it work and I can't for the life of me. I noticed you were on it. Now, it has nothing to do with me chatting, but me needing to not let google win. I can't get iChat to work, so I'm signed in via google and I have chatting enabled. If you could try to send me a message to see if it works that would be great. Thanks man, my new email is bocceballmaster@gmail.com Thanks Rjkd12 20:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stirling engine images

Nice work on the clear images and animation. Thanks Lumos3 00:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem! It was very satisfying to animate, such an elegant system. - Zephyris Talk 00:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Stirling Cycle 1.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Stirling Cycle 1.png. 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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beta stirling animation

Hi Zephyris, knowing it is never a nice thing to see people replace something you worked hard on, I would like to ask if you’re okay with this alternative for a beta stirling animation. Could you please have a look at Stirling engine#Action of a Beta type Stirling engine and see if this is an appropriate visual explanation of a beta Stirling engine? Suggestions for improvement are of course welcome. Thanks. --Van helsing 17:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Thats awesome work! my main suggestion for improvement would be to add an outline to the cutthrough to make it clearer... - Zephyris Talk 18:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of your Helicopter Schematic image?

Hello Zephyris,

May I use your Helicopter Schematic image on some T-shirts and other items?

I have already set up the page because my first thought was that I was OK under the GNU Free Documentation License but then I wasn't sure and figured out of courtesy I should ask anyways. If you would rather I did not use the image I understand and I will remove it immediately. If I may use the image, thank you! You can see how I used it at http://www.cafepress.com/defy_gravity/2655256.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Seeing as its sold with a statement that the image is GFDL thats close enough for me, go for it! It makes an awesome t-shirt... - Zephyris Talk 13:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! I agree, it does make an awesome t-shirt. Mark03264 01:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chromosome mutation images and genetic linkage illustration

The chromosome mutation images like this one are great! Of course I didn't come here just to say that... ;) Wondering if you'd mind repurposing the chromosomes used in these images for an illustration of the concept of genetic linkage? It seems that physically seeing different 'genes' at different distances from one another on the chromosome would help people form a mental image of the idea. (If this seems too simple, I took a crack at chopping out a chromosome and doing this myself, but it turns out I'm still image-incompetent...) Thanks! Opabinia regalis 03:30, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure, ill give it a go! Genetic linkage wont be the easiest thing to demonstrate, being a probabilistic event, but should be possible...
Lol, forgot to sign. - Zephyris Talk 16:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Great, thanks! My original idea was just to color-code or label three 'segments' and leave the discussion of probabilities to the text/caption, but it sounds like you have a better idea. Opabinia regalis 04:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
