Sectioned diagram of the planet Mercury including the solid "anticrust" layer between the mantle and core
  • Canvas size is irrelevant for SVG images because vector diagrams are scalable to any size; the only reference given in the description states specifically what other source was used to create this image and includes a link (I have now expanded this as well); the cosmetic stars are easy enough to remove, and I have done so.

  • A loose necktie, while canvas size does not fundamentally matter, as SVG are scalable, it does seem to affect the default preview size on the file page, and the size you get when you click on the preview, which is rather small. Could you make it larger please so that the default preview is bigger? I think Wilfredor is asking for a reference for your interior parts. For example, "anticrust" is not mentioned on en:Mercury (planet) and Googling "mercury anticrust" turns up nothing relevant at all. The existing File:Mercury's internal structure1.jpg diagram used on Wikipedia includes depth information, which would seem to be worth having. I would expect solid references for the names of significant layers in the plant body, and for the thickness of each layer that is directly proportional to the displayed thickness on the diagram. -- Colin (talk) 08:32, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Now I understand much, much better. Rescaling the image has a few effects: several of my SVG filters do not scale along with the image, so changing actual image size means having to use other filters here, but hopefully most of these will not matter. Regarding references for the content of the diagram: please see the current file description for these. I had tried reorganizing the content of this portion of the Wikipedia article to include mention of this layer, but my edit was reverted wholesale and the information went along with it. Still, my diagram is no less accurate for all this, yes? Thank you for the explanations! A loose necktie (talk) 12:54, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Colin for your clarification, please, A loose necktie take a look to my edition here which shows the proper way to add references. Also, you could take a look to Referencing for beginners. Btw, I think it is only necessary to reduce the font size and remove the last text you added that could go in the description of the image.
