[edit] Hello there.
I was just wondering if you ever made a complete version of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Arpeggio.ogg because it's beautiful, and I'd like to hear the rest.
You can e-mail me at pwnishment@gmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.111.235 (talk) 01:36, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the compliment. Unfortunately, I have yet to finish the piece. I like inventing melodies and chord progressions, but I'm not good at composing interesting pieces out of them. Perhaps one day. ›mysid (☎∆) 05:06, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abacavir structure
Hi, I am doing some research on abacavir and wanted to thank you for uploading its structure. However, it doesn't match Glaxo-Smith-Kline's structure (you're missing a double bond between the two C's of the fused-ring. Just thought I'd bring this to your attention as I'm a newb at wikipedia and don't know how to fix it myself.
Peace —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.113.66 (talk) 20:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:ACM_insignia.png
Thanks for uploading Image:ACM_insignia.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 18:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AppleIIGSOS.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AppleIIGSOS.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Seraphim Whipp 00:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Parental Advisory label.png listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Parental Advisory label.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Note that it has been obsoleted by Image:Parental Advisory label.svg. +mt 21:45, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] BKchem and vim!
Wow, so I'm not the only crazy one who cleans up svgs in vim! Check out en:Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry/Structure_drawing_workgroup#BKChem. Maybe (because you've been doing it longer than me) you have some advice? --Slashme 07:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
I took a look at the code of your Cefaclor structure, and I was really very impressed! Nice and clean. I did manage to squeeze the file size quite significantly by joining the lines, though. --Slashme 08:14, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, nice to hear you liked it. :) Nowadays I modify the files using perl though, as doing that in vim proved to be too tedious. See User:Mysid/scripts. The scripts also circumvent a librsvg bug which would otherwise prevent subscripts from displaying correctly. BKChem can crop the images though, which I didn't know when coding that. ›mysid (☎∆) 07:04, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
OK, that is the coolest! I'll go tell the folks at the structure drawing workgroup about your script. --Slashme 08:38, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Just a little warning – I didn't code it with portability and user-friendliness in mind. ›mysid (☎∆) 15:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, the Finnish comments kind of tipped me off to that. Don't worry, it's a short script, and even Perl, with its reputation as a "write-only" language is amenable to analysis ;] --Slashme 13:13, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hopefully the English comments I just added provide some help. ›mysid (☎∆) 08:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
- Oops, too late for me! I hacked away at the script over the weekend, and made the following changes:
- Merged the files
- Used the coordinates of the svg elements to initialize the edge-search
- Change to perl built-in file handling. Not sure whether this is an improvement, though.
- Redid the location of the image on the viewbox. Not sure whether I needed this because of something else I might have messed up, though.
- Change the font to Sans, because that works pretty much everywhere
- not resizing, so change subscript size to 9pt instead of 36pt.
- Use ImageMagick to get lines of pixels from the image. Not sure whether this is an improvement, but it eliminates one temporary file, and the greyscaling step.
- Don't re-scale the file:
- Keeps the linesize at 1, so one less thing to change
- Avoids unexpected bugs with elements that have a different paint setup
- Avoid need to re-scale all fonts
- I'll dump my work at User:Mysid/scripts/Slashme, and you can let me know whether it works for you as well. --Slashme 18:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
- Update: I fixed a problem with my edge-finding code by blurring the image. This has the advantage that it automatically creates a border. --Slashme 20:30, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
- Glad you like it! I tested it with about the most complex reaction of non-existent molecules that I could construct in BKchem in one minute, and it seemed to work OK. I always change all those 1pt lines to one path with inkscape and then clean up with vim after drawing a molecule in BKchem. If it weren't for the fact that this script will become obsolete as soon as librsvg gets fixed, I'd be tempted to implement that function here, but it's probably better to request that as an option in BKchem. Oh, and no reason to feel inferior! You had the idea in the first place and did the heavy lifting. I just hacked at your code. The first time I read the SVG code to one of your molecule drawings I was inspired. I could immediately see that a person with a sense for data had made it! --Slashme 09:09, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- That bug seems to have been solved. See User:Slashme/testthumb. By the way, I have included code to fix superscripts as well (after I redrew Image:Zinc gluconate structure.svg and needed a Zn^2+. --Slashme 20:28, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
I've moved my hacked version of your script to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chemistry/Structure_drawing_workgroup/Mysid's_script, because that's a more sensible location – I'll be recommending it as a workaround until librsvg is fixed, and maybe the other editors will also be hacking away at it. --Slashme 08:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, my constant chatter might be getting irritating by now, but I just wanted to mention that the bazaar effect seems to be working already: Someone has cleaned up the file handling a bit. I have already taken out the cropping code, because as you mentioned, BKchem does that already. --Slashme 19:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- No problem at all, and thanks for making me famous. :D The script is so much more platform-independent now, as well as less bloated. I seriously hope the bug (#5792 in Wikimedia Bugzilla, #340047 in librsvg's one) will get fixed though. As well as the other bugs so I can continue my SVG crusade. :) (I don't have one) ›mysid (☎∆) 20:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Glad to see that the bug is in the pipeline. Any dayyear now everything will be perfect ;]--Slashme 05:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Dialog1.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Dialog1.png. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 14:22, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] May you help me?
Hi, I've seen that you're so good in graphics. I've also seen that you've made this image; I'm trying to translate this page into Italian and I want to create the flag of this city. May you help me? The original flag is this and you can find the seal here.
Thank you so much in advance TøW€®MªN ™ answer me 08:10, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- I will try my best. I'm not that keen on drawing US city flags any more though, as I'm not really sure about their copyright status. But let's see what I can do. ›mysid (☎∆) 20:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Also check out the Graphics lab for this type of request. --Slashme 05:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HD Ready 1080p
Hello. I've updated the HD Ready article with some information about the new HD Ready 1080p label that EICTA released this summer. As you have already submited a svg version of the original logo (Image:HD_ready_logo.svg) , it would be great if you also create a new version for HDReady 1080p :-) http://www.eicta.org/fileadmin/user_upload/document/PR_-_EICTA_launches_1080p_qualifier_logos.pdf Thewikipedian (talk) 21:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You've been loved by Redyva

Hey there! Redyva has loved you by placing a heart icon in the top-right corner of your userpage. Don't worry, it's not vandalism, but simply a small way to spread the WikiLove. If you don't really like it, feel free to revert it and make it go away, and no hard feelings; after all, it's just a small token of appreciation. If you like it, just add your name here, but again, there's no need to feel upset if you don't. Love and best wishes, Master Redyva (talk) 19:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC) |
[edit] Your changes to the Claws Mail page
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Claws_Mail&diff=172693845&oldid=171405908
Can you explain why you made these changes? In particular...
block 1: I understand why you changed 'it is' to 'is intended to be', but why the part of about the interface being similar to Sylpheed's and the other removals?
block 2: 'like' becomes 'such as', rather pedantic, but I'm not concerned about this.
block 3: why remove 'and more'? It is true that there are more, it's not a point of view.
Claws (talk) 10:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hi! My main objective was to make the article conform to the neutral point of view policy. To me, words like "light", "easy", "intuitive", and "flexibility", when describing a computer program, are subjective and, in an encyclopedia, need reliable sources. I'm sorry if I overdid it, you are of course free to add them back if you wish. ›mysid (☎∆) 16:19, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Rehobothflag.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Rehobothflag.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

[edit] problem with Sun_red_giant.svg
Hi, I just noticed there are two large problems with that file. One is that the estimated diameter of the Sun when it becomes a red giant is actually 2 AU, not 1. The radius would be about 1 AU if it reaches the orbit of the earth, making the diameter 2.
Also, it is definitely not to scale. I don't know if the image was intended to be to scale, but the Red Giant article refers to the picture as though it was. With the current sun 25 pixels in diameter, the red giant sun should be about 5357 pixels diameter. About 10 times larger than at present.
-Arrkhal (talk) 20:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hi! Thanks for bringing this into my attention. Are there any sources for the actual estimated diameter? The Red giant article says nothing. ›mysid (☎∆) 22:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
-
- Well, citations 7, 8, and 9 in the red giant article are the ones referenced where it says the sun, as a red giant, will engulf the earth (or at least the earth's current position). One illustrates the sun going a bit past the earth's orbit, the other two show it stopping just short of earth. Given that the earth's average distance from the sun is 1 AU (150 million km), that does place the diameter at roughly 2 AU, not 1. The original image author apparently confused radius with diameter. The stated current diameter of the sun (14 million km) is correct. -Arrkhal (talk) 02:49, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I see that you have redone a diagram of mine in SVG. Thank you for doing this. Unfortunately, of all the diagrams I have contributed to Wikipedia, this is by far the worst and most inexact one.
