FP closing

Hi there! While it's commendable that you want to contribute, please be careful with removing and fixing FPs manually. There are too many things that can go wrong and the Bot will fix it in a jiffy. Please wait for the Bot to mark the nom as done and wait for someone else to close it for you. It is not forbidden to close your own featured nom, but it's considered bad etiquette. And always let the Bot take care of the final stages of the sorting. There is no hurry. :-) You can make a new nomination as soon as time is up for your nom. Best, --Cart (talk) 16:48, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

W.carter, Thanks for your advice! I never knew this, I just want to do it asap for another FP. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 17:03, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

It's a common mistake to be "hasty" when you are new at FPC. :-) You are allowed to make/have two nominations simultaneously, and as soon as one ends, you can start a new one and let the system take care of the previous. BTW, by doing this yourself, you also missed getting a nice congratulations message on your talk page. Be well, --Cart (talk) 17:09, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Wikipedia constellation program logo.png, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Overwriting files, again

Please stop overwriting files with crops and differing compositions. If you want an image to be framed differently for a particular use, upload that crop or composition under a new filename. This is not the first time you've been asked to not do this. Let's keep it simple: in the future, do not overwrite any file unless it is something you uploaded, and it follows COM:OVERWRITE. — Huntster (t @ c) 19:16, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

I don't think cropping File:Mars - 2020 Opposition.jpg or replacing File:North America on April 16, 1972, cropped from AS16-118-18880.png's badly exposed image is against the rules here. However, you're right – it's usually better to upload a new file instead. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 00:53, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

In both those instances, it does actually fall afoul of OVERWRITE, because the crop is major in the first case and the entire composition of the image is changed in the second. That said, my point really is that it's the polite thing to do. We're not lacking on storage space here, so it's better to have more options for the end users rather than less. I will often edit my own uploads, but I learned long, long ago to not do more to others' uploads than to provide higher resolution overwrites of the exact same composition. — Huntster (t @ c) 05:47, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Your "true color" image of the Solar system

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Solar_System_true_color.jpg It's really nice someone cares about this topic, but the image is not correct. From left to right, Uranus is too cyan (it's really just lighter version of Neptune's color - cyan comes from our atmospheric scattering), Saturn is done with additional wider EM spectrum and blues are highly saturated, Jupiter is Hubble's image edited to match palette of wrecked images made by "citizen scientists" using Junocam data, Europa is done in total false color (it has no reds, it really looks like scratched cue ball), Mars is way too red and the Sun should be white. You got Venus right, and that's rare. :) Lajoswinkler (talk) 13:22, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Lajoswinkler, thanks for your comments, I will try to incorporating them into the pic after finding more spectral data to confirm the colors. It's honestly really tricky to find true color of the moons and the planets (especially when NASA insists that this is Mars in true color, yuck!) CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 13:27, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

It's sadly a nearly impossible task, courtesy of sensationalism driving NASA's public relations office. Just look at this.

The planet is still the same, I looked at it last week. :) What has changed is the paradigm and that's dystopian. Lajoswinkler (talk) 13:41, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Lajoswinkler, I probably need to redo the collage at some point, partly due to generational loss as I have lost the original project file and partly because I got Saturn's inclination totally wrong (should be 5.3 degrees instead of 53). I will try to upload the new collage by the end of this week. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 14:00, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Lajoswinkler, just to let you know, I'm still trying... A bit late but hopefully I'd nail the colors right. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 06:38, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Solar System true color (captions).jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

The Sun is white

Hi! About your change on this file: 171879main LimbFlareJan12 lg.jpg. You changed this file to black and white, stating that 'the Sun is white'. It may very well be white, but that doesn't mean one colorization is better than or preferred over the other. You might as well change this whole gallery to black-and-white, because 'stars are white'. It is very common for astronomers to assign false colors to their telescope images. The reason is that the human eye can distinguish color hues more effectively than grey intensities. TheBartgry (talk) 17:50, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

I'll support this statement, and further say stop uploading colour changes over existing files. If you wish to make such colour changes, then upload them to a new filename. Give users a choice, rather than force your interpretations on them. I've reverted the change to this file, do not change it back again. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:12, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

File:Solar System true color.jpg

Nice picture, but isn't Iapetus missing? Double sharp (talk) 13:40, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

I sadly trimmed it off as I want the distance of the moons to scale with the planet, but Iapetus is 3x further than Titan. It is extremely hard to fit it in without making planets extremely small. Tilting Saturn is not an option since I want the planet's axial tilt to be accurate too. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 13:50, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Well, I guess you could add it somewhere with a note saying that its distance is specifically not to scale. I admit that I didn't come to the conclusion that any distances were to scale, since the distances between the planets clearly aren't. BTW, Iapetus' orbit is quite inclined to Saturn's equator (by 15.47°), so you could probably even fit it in at the correct distance and avoid a collision by depicting it at the point in its orbit furthest above/below the plane of Saturn's equator. :) Double sharp (talk) 15:03, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Time to make a version 3 of the image then, always striving for accuracy :) CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 15:04, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Looking forward to it! Might want to keep in mind the quite large inclinations of Earth's Moon and Neptune's Triton as well. :) Double sharp (talk) 21:12, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Also, surely it's correct to tilt Saturn; its axial tilt is 26.73°. Double sharp (talk) 19:29, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Anyway, at least I'd like Iapetus called out explicitly (instead of just subsumed in "and more") at File:Solar System true color (captions).jpg. It's almost the size of Rhea, after all. There's also a typo: it's "Callisto", not "Calisto". :) Double sharp (talk) 02:37, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

File:Terrestrial planet sizes2.jpg

Just a small request: could you maybe make a version adding the Moon, Pallas, Vesta, Io, and Europa to scale? Just to get the "geophysical" terrestrial planets (rocky bodies) as well. (Oh, I suppose Pallas and Vesta are borderline, but Vesta has been included enough times in reliable sources.) Double sharp (talk) 02:31, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open!

Read this message in your language

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Saturn File:Solar System true color.jpg

I saw in the edit summary of File:Solar System true color.jpg you changed the Cassini image of Saturn that I used for that file as it was too yellowy or something along the lines of that. Hubble's images seem pretty high quality so I wanted to ask you if Hubble's images of Saturn are better than that of Cassini's. Criticism my edits to that file would be nice too. Thanks. Now to fix Uranus's image. A westman (talk) 02:45, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

No, it's because you should not overwrite files of others. Please upload an entirely new image instead. Also, Uranus color is too saturated. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 12:24, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Right. I forgot you set overwriting to disallowed. A westman (talk) 23:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

An illustration of light sources from magnitude 1 to 3.5, in 0.5 increments File:Magnitude illustration.svg

Thanks for creating this graphic in the Magnitude (astronomy) article. However there is a problem with it. RGB values aren't relative brightness. They are a non-linear encoding of brightness because the human eye perceives brightness non-linearly. Actual brightness, light energy in the visual spectrum, is given by (RGB Value)^2.2, where the exponent 2.2 is called gamma. If you actually measure the brightness of a computer screen lit with RGB 26 with a photometer, and compare it to a screen lit with RGB 255, it will be (26/255)^2.2 = 0.0066 times as bright, not 0.100 times as bright as shown on your graphic. If magnitude 1 is 255 RGB units, then magnitude 3.5 would be 255*(2.512^(1-3.5))^(1/2.2) = 89 RGB units. It's a good graphic. Can you redo it with corrected RGB values for the stars? Brian Wowk (talk) 20:17, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Well, that's a great mistake from my part. Let me fix the graphic... CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 01:46, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
