[edit] PNG --> SVG: Perkin triangle

Hi David

You did a great job of converting the image on the Schlenk_flasks page into SVG formatt (see left).


Could you be tempted into converting the image on the Perkin triangle page into SVG format (see right)?

I don't know too much about SVG format, but it looks like a bit of a challenge, so thanks in advance for your consideration -- Quantockgoblin (talk) 20:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Will see about it on Thu. morning. --Slashme (talk) 05:32, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Great! No great time pressure, do it when you can. Thanks again -- Quantockgoblin (talk) 08:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
David - Great! You've done a very good conversion of the image. If I was going to be picky I'd say that maybe the red thermometer line should run through the ground glass joint, and the ground glass joint around the thermometer is slightly asymmetric - but they are barely worth correcting! I also note that currently there is a license warning/message on the page, I presume you just need to add a license. Anyway thanks again and great job! -- Quantockgoblin (talk) 08:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi David - one more observation about the Perkin triangle drawing! The numeral '4' could be moved up a bit to be in line with the height of the red thermometer fluid (see PNG image). The reason for this is that this indicates the boiling point of the distillate, when in use. Also the ground glass joint of the thermometer could be moved down a little so that when the thermometer is inserted into the Perkin triangle the bulb would be situated at the collecting head of the apparatus (something that I always wanted to correct about the PNG image). At the moment it looks like the thermometer bulb would be poking into the fractioning column! Neither of these points really need action, but, as I suspect you are a perfectionist, I think these amendments to the image would just improve the image a tad! Sorry for drip-feeding some of these observations -- thanks Quantockgoblin (talk) 20:12, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Done --Slashme (talk) 08:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Schlenk flasks

Thanks for the heads up on the summary. Thanks even more so for the clean up on standard Schlenk flasks. I butchered the tense of the passage the whole way through, it was atrocious. I touched up grammar of the other sections but I haven't replaced teflon with PTFE. I'll remember that wiki convention in future edits. Thanks again and I apologies for making you copy edit.--OMCV (talk) 15:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More .svg conversions?

David

Since you probably have templates for my images by now, you might feel that you are in the best position to convert some of the other images in my gallery, see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Quantockgoblin

I’ve put the images in order of the ones I would like converted the most!:

Great looks good - just a few things - *I think in water (1) of the cold finger does not need a arrow head, at the moment implies the water is going out not in. (Kept the arrows, fixed the direction) *Also the water connectors joints on the cold finger (in and out) should be shaded blue. (done) *Also can we make the red heating and the purple a tad darker? (done) *Also I think the cold finger looks like it is on top of the ground glass joint not within it as you normaly draw it. (Done)

Just a few things on this too - *I think in water (4) of the cold finger does not need a arrow head, at the moment implies the water is going out not in. *Also the water connectors joints on the cold finger (in and out) should be shaded blue. *Also can we make the inner tube of the cold finger a little longer (fussy I know!) (Done)

note: the still pot has been drawn too small, and should be 3 to 4 times the volume of the soxhlet chamber. Just to add one comment, would it be possible to move the water in and out points near the ends of the condensor so it would fill better. Really nice job - thanks!

Done! Again super job!

number 5 is missing in the SVG image!! (Fixed)

Thanks for redrawing this image! - the previosu .svg version had a few bits that where not quite right - see Distillation talk page!! -- ~~~~

Another classy image - the only thing that I would be tempted to modify a little is the amount of green precipitate ~ looks like there is more after filtration then before the start of the filtration. Thanks -- ~~~~

I understand if you have a life/other projects you would rather be getting on with! You can always keep these conversions on the 'back-burner' for converting at a later time!

Thanks again for your consideration Quantockgoblin (talk) 09:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, I guess I should first get my election diagram thingy hosted properly, then I'll start on these. --Slashme (talk) 11:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
David thanks for converting those pngs for me! I have not had a chance to try inkscape yet but will give it a go at some point - I'm a little too overly wed to my current graphics package!! - Thanks again - Quantockgoblin (talk) 18:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
David thanks again for drawing these - just added a few comments to finish of the drawings, hope I'm not fussing too much, but it would nice to finish them off. -- Quantockgoblin (talk) 22:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for all your help with these images. I don't want to push my luck but there are a few more convertions if you are interested, but only if you are interested (see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Quantockgoblin) Many thanks -- Quantockgoblin (talk) 00:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SVG tool

Hey David, do you know of a user-friendly (I'm a bit of a PC numpty) tool available that I can use to convert png to svg? Looking at your efforts with the QG, they do seem a ship-load better in quality. Cheers, Freestyle-69 (talk) 03:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Wow! Nice work, baie dankie vriend. I'll have a bash and see what damage I can do... :) Freestyle-69 (talk) 23:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
This goblin has been pretty helpful with advice and I saw a couple of your threads :) Freestyle-69 (talk) 08:55, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] My "A Day In The Life" edit

Thanks for your note, and the reminder to include an edit summary. How does one do that?

Thanks!

[edit] Chemistry Bond Star

The Chemistry Bond Star
David, I award you the Chemistry Bond Star for your speedy and high quality work in making images for chemical apparatus pages, any 'tweaking' these images upon request. Many thanks for your help! -- Quantockgoblin (talk) 00:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Wow, thanks! It's really nice to be appreciated! --Slashme (talk) 08:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quantock School Crest

David - I would like to make a wiki page about Quantock School.

To go with this, I would really like a .svg representation of the colour crest below (at about this size). The image supplied is a bit ropey so I've included a black-and-white image showing another version of the shield. Also, if it is easy to do, I would like an .svg of the colour shield as well (i.e. without the black storks and motto). I figure that this is two requests but as I understand .svg this can be two elements of the same image so maybe it is do-able. The colours are about right, grey should be white (legs and motto), birds should be black.

I really have no idea if this is difficult to do or not. If you can't do it or don't think the time/effort ratio is worth it, then I understand!! -- thanks Quantockgoblin (talk) 18:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I agree with your editorial

I left the initial editorial on the pathophysiology of Milk-Alkali syndrome, and agree that it is accurate. In addition I added some more stuff if u wanna check it out.

[edit] MfD

Just a quick note. We don't MfD userpages in order to get the attention of an admin to block a user for vandalism. I've closed it out. No harm done. Next time, take it to WP:AIV. Cheers. — MaggotSyn 11:15, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I completely understand. The only problem is, we delete userpages only when it violates a specific policy or goes against the WP:UP guideline. Before I closed the MfD I had noticed that if it weren't for the MfD tag on the userpage, the userpage would have never been created (meaning you were the one to create the userpage ;p). So its kinda strange that you'd request an uncreated page be deleted. Get what I mean? Thanks for dropping by and discussing it with me. :) — MaggotSyn 11:27, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
