Picture request

Hi Prolific!

I have a rather ugly request for you -- could you provide a scientific diagram for the Hemorrhoid page? There is some great source material at NIH, but unfortunately these are part of the copyrighted ADAM series, so we can't use them here.

• http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/17069.htm
• Surgery series:
  • http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/presentations/100026_1.htm
  • http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/presentations/100026_2.htm
  • http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/presentations/100026_3.htm
  • http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/presentations/100026_4.htm

Could you create a single good diagram for us, illustrating internal and external hemorrhoids? There's no rush, but we'd really appreciate your help. Thanks! — Catherine\^talk 02:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Done, left a more detailed message on your user talk page. thanks. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 12:03, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Excellent! Thank you so much for quick and excellent work -- I am thoroughly impressed with the professional quality of this diagram. I know it is not a pleasant topic to work with, but this is SO much better than the photos we had to work with before... thank you!

There's nothing I can suggest to improve the diagram -- it's perfect. However, if you are willing, it would be very useful for you to create a version for Wikipedia Commons with number labels, instead of English words -- that way it could be used in other language Wikipedias, as they can use the image caption to notate the numbers in their own language. Thanks! — Catherine\^talk 17:03, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Prolifict, hi there. I wonder if you might translate the text of this image (Image:Hemorrhoid.png) into spanish. We have a grafics crew in the spanish wiki, but since you asked to come to you first, I thought I would. Here's the translation: Esfínter anal interno, Esfínter anal externo, Vasos sanguíneos perianales (Perianal blood vessels), Línea pectínea, Prolapso de hemorroide interna, Hemorroide externa y piel anal (Anoderm). Come visit if you need more information or for whatever other reason. Bobjgalindo (talk) 17:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Diagram To Show Coeliac Disease

Sorry to bug you. I've heard wonders of your artistic skills, and remember seeing them first hand with the wasp morphology image. We're working on the FAC of coeliac disease and one illustration that would be very useful is the "Marsh Classification". Unfortunately, there are no free versions that we could find. If you have some time, would you be able to replicate something similar? The best on-line illustration is found here: [1]. If you're too busy, that's cool. Please let me know. Thanks -- Samir धर्म 10:28, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Great! The hemorrhoid image is fabulous also! Many thanks -- Samir धर्म 14:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Done, note left on your user page. let me know if corrections are needed. usually I don't do corrections but to be honest it was quite hard to do without fully understanding the histopathology of Coeliac Disease so changes may well be needed. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 15:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Flat-destructive stage (III)

Wow, so quick! The diagram is very well illustrated and I think it'll make a superb addition to the article. There are a couple of little things that needed to be added and I've put labels on the slide at the right to try to illustrate things. There are 3 components in determining the staging (I should probably have mentioned this before): (1) the villi, which you've illustrated very well; (2) the crypts, being the circle like-structures between the villi (they're lined with the same enterocyte cells as found on the surface); and (3) lymphocytes, which are the little dark purple cells that are all over the place in the microscope slide (they ones that just look like a dot). Pre-infiltrative is perfect as illustrated with just crypts that need to be added (no lymphocytes). For the infiltrative stage, there are lymphocytes that enter into just the crypts (like where it says "lymphocytes in crypt" on the slide). Infiltrative-hyperplastic means that there are lymphocytes in the crypts, and the crypts get bigger. The flattening stage is like you've shown except there are tonnes of lymphocytes all over just like in the slide. In the hypoplastic state there are a tonne of lymphocytes and the crypts disappear (maybe one tiny one at most).

Hope I was able to explain things? Many thanks again for helping out with this; it's really appreciated! -- Samir धर्म 16:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

We are working on an episode focused on Celiac Disease--it is for a television series that educates parents on children's health issues. Your diagram is more directly accessible than microscopic images of healthy vs. atrophied villi--meaning it would be much more accessible for our viewers. Would you be willing to grant permission to a non-profit tv series to use your drawing as apart of this episode covering Celiac? Please email me (nlkarczewski@yahoo.com)with questions, and I can provide you with more details. thank you.Notnlk 14:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)notnlk

Diagram for cell nucleus?

"The Ran-GTP nuclear transport cycle"

The cell nucleus article, the current MCB article improvement drive selection, badly needs a visual aid, and yours are awesome. The nuclear transport section is unavoidably an alphabet soup of very similar-sounding acronyms and it's difficult to keep straight which proteins are in the nucleus vs which are in the cytoplasm without a diagram. The illustration doesn't have to be complex, it just has to clearly show the Ran-GTP nuclear transport cycle. There's more discussion/clarifications about it on my talk page if what's already in the article isn't clear, though since you're a biologist it's probably material you have at least general familiarity with. If you're too busy, that's okay, though it may lead one of us to commit atrocities with MSPaint :) Opabinia regalis 05:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Opabinia, this won't be a problem. I'll get on it as soon as possible. I have about 3 diagrams in my backlog at the moment which I won't be able to start on until the weekend so it may be about a week before its finished, I will also need to consult with my textbooks as I'm as yet unfamiliar with the Ran-GTP Nuclear transport cycle as I'm only a 2nd year Undergraduate. One quick question what does 'Ran' stand for/mean, what else may it be called?. I'll keep you updated, thanks. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 19:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Great, thanks! Ran is usually written lower-case, as if it weren't an acronym, but stands for Ras-related nuclear protein. The name Ras is entirely historical and I believe originally stood for rat sarcoma protein. This is the best online image I found, though it's rather small. This paper also has a reasonable exposition, though they for some reason they didn't compile it all into one diagram. Opabinia regalis 01:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Diagram finished. See across. Thanks WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 15:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC).

Nice work, thanks! This article is coming along very well - hard to believe it was only a stub before the AID started. Opabinia regalis 01:28, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

To WikipedianProlific for creating the best diagram of Marsh's classification of celiac disease pathology that I've seen. Well done -- Samir धर्म 11:50, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Malate-aspartate shuttle?

I just wrote malate-aspartate shuttle as a supporting article for adenosine triphosphate, but it's another one of those cycles in cell bio that's very confusing without a diagram. There's a reasonable one in BioCarta and probably in any cell bio book, but it's beyond my ability to reproduce. If you get some time, would you mind taking a look at this? Thanks!

(I should say, I may also be contacting you sometime soon about a similar pathway diagram for RNA interference and microRNA (they use much the same pathway) but I don't think the articles describe the proteins involved very well yet.) Opabinia regalis 03:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

I'm a fan of your drawings, and I'd really like to suggest a diagram comparing different species of rhino. I saw one on a sign at a zoo once: here, but would rather see a diagram on wikipedia.

Hello,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Horseanatomy.png is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on July 19, 2007. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2007-07-19. howcheng {chat} 23:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Man do I hate to rain on the parade of an attractive image, but Have you looked CLOSELY at that skeleton diagramImage:Horseanatomy.png? I noticed that it has some SERIOUS inaccuracies (like mislabeling the sacrum as part of the lumbar and coccygeal vertebrae and saying that the horse has a collar bone when it doesn't!) It needs some relabeling and fixing. It's almost so bad we should consider removing it if we can't fix it, which is a real bummer because it's so clear... YIKES!!!! A couple examples that are more correct: http://www.horseracinghistory.co.uk/hrho/images/education/horse_skeleton.gif and http://www.classicbloodstock.com.au/skillsEDIT/clientuploads/39/horseskeleton.jpg Some of the terms aren't identical (cannon bone is either the metacarpal or metatarsal, etc.) but they are all correct. You may want to consult User:Dlh-stablelights on this, he is a vet. Montanabw^(talk) 04:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I am aware of about 2-3 labelling inaccuracies, most other problems actually seem to be editor misinterpretation. This is however a large diagram and I have other projects in the pipline, and sadly its not simply a case of just opening it up and changing a few text lines here and there. I will get around to it but probably not for a couple of weeks. I wouldn't say its grossly bad and needs removal pending correction though, it is as far as I can see the best image of its sort on the internet at the moment save for its labelling errors, and the image itself is fine, the problem was I drew it based on about 3 sources and one of them was riddled with errors which have carried over. Like I've stressed on the image talk page though, it isn't anatomically perfect, but for wikipedia it doesnt need to be. There will always be more accurate diagrams in text books but then thats because they arent trying to squeeze a 2 meter tall horse into a 1000 pixel rectangle. They'd have several hundred smaller pictures to cover it, and we just dont go into that level detail, at least not yet. But thanks for your comments, it will be fixed eventually. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 09:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Is there any way to just remove the labels form the skeleton and send myself or User:Eventer the base skeleton for us to re-label? We'd be glad to fix it. The inaccuracies on the spinal column are actually VERY significant, and the reference to the collarbone really does need to be removed. I'll not tag it for deletion, but Eventer is doing a ton of work on the horse anatomy articles and really does need a better image. There's an antiquated image in commons we can substitute for now, but it is not really labeled at all. Montanabw^(talk) 03:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

In its current state it would not be possible to do this with the diagram as the .psd master file is around 250mb in size. As I said before though, as a featured picture your looking at about 3 labelling errors, for what is I expect the best diagram of its sort in terms of size and clarity on the internet. I certainly don't think removing it from the article is nessessary at the moment as to be honest I think we could probably go through the Horse Anatomy articles and find more errors in the text than there are in that diagram. I shall see if I can look into it later today, but it may stil take a few weeks. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 10:15, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Please do not be too defensive. There are at least six errors that I could spot, and though it is a very nice quality image, it does need help. Someone else has already downloaded it and erased the labels. We will fix it and re-upload. Montanabw^(talk) 20:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

And FYI, I do feel I must nominate it for delisting as a featured image until the inaccuracies are corrected. Montanabw^(talk) 20:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

The image has been updated with several changes as I politely told you I would do in my earlier comment this morning. I'm not being defensive but you gave me about 36 hours to do it in. Its not very much time, and regretably it was not just a case of opening it up and changing a few lines of text. I have changed quite a few things, the base drawing has some admendments to more clearly seperate the tibia and fibula, raidus and ulna respectively. The text size is smaller to allow for more labels. The labelling is also of a more consistant level now. The title has been changed to skeletal system to be more speciifc. I would not use the unlabelled version you have created, it is not the same size and so would not qualify for FP status. You've erased the lines of a 717 x 600 pixel version. My master file is 7350 x 6150 pixels, so what you have is about a tenth the full size. The main labelled version uploaded on wikipedia is around 2450 x 2050 pixels. This is because in graphic design there is a general rule of thumb that everything is drawn 3 times larger than it needs to be and is then resized down to give it greater quality. Its also why the file size here is so massive. I hope the changes I've made are satisfactory, however, if they are not i can ammend it again, this time quicker as I now have the image to hand and up to date with the wikipedia version. If you leave me specific notes for what to change or add, e.g. "change humerus to .... X" that will also help me do it quicker. Hope you like it, thanks. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 21:50, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for acting promptly, you originally suggested it would take weeks, we were worried! Things look much better, though a couple more tweaks, as noted below, are graciously requested.

FYI, one of the most detailed charts on the net is here: http://www.kersur.net/~santa/skeletalsystem.html --it actually has far more than anyone needs to know! It appears to be correct, as far as I can tell. (Being a horse person but not a vet) While I see no need for you to add everything there you your diagram (the more simplified version is best for Wikipedia), There are a couple small corrections needed on your diagram: the identification of the Tibia and Fibula on your drawing does need further fixing and the chart I noted above shows more clearly how, like the radius and ulna on the front leg, the Tibia and Fibula are fused on the hind leg, with the Fibula being basically fused to the upper back part of the tibia. Also, the rear cannon bone is the metaTARSAL bone, not the metacarpal (FYI, the horse's hock is equivilant to the human ankle and heel, if you are wondering why the terminology is that way...just as the horse's "Knee" is equivalent to the human wrist.). On that note, see also the hock in the skeletal diagram, it is actually (to oversimplify a bit) the Calcaneus (fibular tarsal) and Tarsus. You may want to check your diagram against the one in Equine forelimb anatomy which is correct, though whether you want to call the pastern bones "pastern bone" or "phalanx" is totally up to you, both forms are used. You can also check your diagram against the text of Skeletal system of the horse, where your image is the star of the show, the primary editor's text is pretty good, at least I didn't spot any glaring inaccuracies. I'll let User:Eventer know what's been done and she can eyebell it too. Montanabw^(talk) 20:20, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay I've made a couple more changes based on that website (great site by the way, nice find!). It would be nice if User:Eventer can take a peak especially at the hind legs as its getting fairly technical back there. For eventers attention, my labelling system has followed a couple of rules, these are mainly that only clearly identified seperate bones are shown, e.g. the skull is labelled as the mandible and cranium as they are clearly seperate in the diagram, but the orbit/zygomatic aren't shown because they arent clearly seperate from the cranium. There are a few exceptions to this like the nasal bone but thats just because the horse nasal bone is very predominant. This mostly goes for the bones which fuse together like the skull and possibly pelvis in the horse. Like you said, its wikipedia - short and sweet, hard to beat ;) thanks for your help montanabw, let me know what you think. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 21:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm OK with the changes, nice work! Eventer doesn't weigh in every day (I think she has a real life) but maybe drop her a line on her talk page to do a double-check. If I were to be super fussy, I'd make it clearer that the tibia is the whole long big bone on the hind leg, and the fibula the higher fused bone, but your labeling is correct as is, so more a style than substance issue, not worth bothering with unless it seems we need to fix something else as well.

Hi WikipedianProlific. I'm Ryan, I see you've agreed to me mediating the above dispute. At present, Cuddlyable3 isn't happy with me mediating the copyright implications part of the dispute, so I've asked him for clarification. As I've said to him, it's best that one mediator takes the whole dispute rather than splitting it up - it simply makes it easier that way. If Cuddlyable isn't happy with me taking on the case, it's no big deal at all - and we'll find someone that you are both happy with. Hope that clarifies things for you. Regards, Ryan Postlethwaite 17:26, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Consider this in the future, thank you :) notwist 11:31, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

The image in question is a perfect candidate for placement on the en.wiki and not commons. You are welcome of course to transfer it to commons if you so desire but the text labels are in english so it will only ever be suitable for the english language wikipedia (why waste commons space for something that isn't common to all wikis). I have therefore removed the commons transfer tag as if this qualifies for commons we may as well go and tag every single image on en.wiki for commons. I think you may want to brush up on what qualifies for placement here and what qualifies for commons as there seems to be some confussion. I carefully consider where each of my uploaded images are placed, some can be found on commons and some can be found here. Generally, diagrams with specific language labels are only suitable for upload to that languages wiki. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 11:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I apologize if you think that my comments point at a narrow understanding, and if it's any consolation, I couldn't say I oppose. I just didn't know enough to say that I support. But I'm leaning support, I tell you that. This user is phenomenal in every way that counts. AR Argon 07:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey Ar Argon, I don't think samir was aiming that at you personally at all, but rather more broadly at the RfA process in general, which has had a history at times of some (but certainly not all) users taking edit counts to mean more than they maybe do, but there are no set admin criteria really other than 'do you trust this nominee with the tools' so everyone is entitled to their own view of what is/isn't good admin material. I genuinely respect your comments there which seems to be an honest appriasal of your opinion, as I'm sure does samir who is as fair an editor as ever there was. I have always expected my RfA(s) to be something of an uphill struggle as ultimately I will have to prove the worth of my contributions more to some editors than someone with 9000 edits would. But thats just the way it is, I think so far I've represented myself well. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 15:23, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, Samir's the ideal admin. And you're a great editor, too. AR Argon 18:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, no AR Argon, I didn't mean you or anyone in particular at all. WP is right in that I was talking about the RfA process in general. Take care -- Samir 05:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Also, I'm far from the ideal admin, but it's kind of you to say so.... someone like User:Blnguyen or User:Jfdwolff is the prototype admin in my eyes. -- Samir 05:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I think you're an excellent administrator and while you may not always use the tools, you use them wisely. At least I think you do. AR Argon 07:58, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

And I agree, people don't see contributions broadly enough. It just seems to be such a linear idea with the contributions thing, to the point where sysop access isn't always given to those who most certainly are trustworthy enough for it. The reason I suspected you spoke of me in particular was because I assumed you read the above message and checked my vote and thought I didn't even look at it with enough depth. Actually, I switched to support just a little while ago, because I think that you would be trustworthy enough for the mop. AR Argon 08:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA

I have closed your RfA. I do not believe the community has conclusively decided to promote you. You may wish to read my additional notes, here. Please address the concerns raised and feel free to reapply in the future. Good luck. --Deskana (talky) 00:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I leave a note on Deskana's page about your RfA case. I was truly surprised at the result and that his rationale was weak. You had 74.75% supporting. I know that one day you'll be a fine admin. The main point of contention was main space edits. All I can suggest is to work on articles more and participate in things like AfD, CfD, etc. Your continued help on Boy Scouts of America would be a good thing for you to continue. I keep an eye on RfA and sure hope I see your renom later. You have 856 main space edits now. I'd suggest reapplying at around 2000 edits or so. I'd be glad to nominate you. I edit so much I often get 1000 edits in a month.Rlevse 10:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the support Rlevse, I shall indeed continue to help there. I also felt the rationale was weak but oh well. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 11:01, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it was unfortunate that you weren't promoted, but I do agree with Deskana's close (and I supported, so I'm not really biased either way). One thing is for sure though, you'll pass swimmingly in a couple of months if you listen to the concerns raised. Cheers. Majorly (talk) 12:17, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I both supported you, and Deskana's decision. I noted in my support that you may consider placing "work in progress" models of your images in your sandbox - both to reflect the work you are doing by edit counts, and to check on the results. Anyway, I look forward to supporting you again. LessHeard vanU 12:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the support everyone. I will be back in a month or two, having taken on board considerations. The only real genuine concern anyone could raise was a low amount of admin related edits mainly on wikispace, this can be resolved easily and realtively quickly. I will also consider how I put my work to people in the next RfA as I am quite strongly convinced some users don't/didn't actually read the questions or my opening statement fully prefering instead to just check the edit count. Thumbnailing the featured images for example may be a better way of showing them. WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 12:51, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

If the chips fall as I suspect they will, I imagine that my comments next time will fall under the "s" instead of the "o." Cheers. youngamerican (wtf?) 16:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry it didn't turn out. Certainly re-apply in a couple of months; I'm sure it'll be no problem then. Kind regards -- Samir 01:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

SVG policy?

Hello, WikipedianProlific. I had a quick question for you - my (somewhat ambitious) adoptee is trying to design a flowchart to help new users figure out the deletion processes easier. We both think that this should be in SVG format, but I can't seem to find the policy on what sorts of images should be in what formats. I know from your RfA that you're familiar with (if not overly in favor of) that policy, so maybe you could point me the right direction? Thanks. Good luck if you decide to run for adminship again, by the way. You should. Thanks for your help. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 21:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Wow, that was fast. Thanks very much! I'll let Audi know so he can finish it up. I'll tell him to do in in PNG for starters, but to have a SVG standing by just in case. Don't worry, your eyes may stay in one piece. ;-) Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 21:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Permission to use images on pollination website?

We would like to ask your permission to use your excellent bee anatomy and wasp anatomy graphics on a new Pollinators/Pollination web site that is being developed by the National Biological Information Infrastructure(NBII) in cooperation with the Ecological Society of America(ESA). The site address is http://pollinators.nbii.gov

We would of course provide appropriate credits to you as the creator and links back to the Wikipedia page where the graphic is featured. Are the graphics featured on the Wikipedia pages the highest resolution available? Would you like to be credited as WikipedianProlific, or do you prefer another name?

Thank you so much for your help. Please contact me at devon@esa.org.

Take care, Devon Rothschild

Hi - just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your diagrams. You are very skilled and disciplined, as your diagrams inform me. V i s n a v a 23:57, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but it would be nice if you could do those diagrams in svg-format, so someone could translate them to another language.213.186.250.251 (talk) 18:20, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations, but...

Congratulations on having the image Injector3.gif on the Main Page. However, when I looked at it I couldn't understand how the injector worked. It didn't become clear untill I saw your earlier FuelInjector2.gif, which clearly showed the moving needle valve in a different color. In Injector3.gif the needle valve vanishes in the "flow view" and is indistinquishable from the other parts in the "non-flow view". Perhaps you could clarify things in an Injector4? Despite the nitpick, nicely done. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 19:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Image Request ;-)

Hi WikipedianProlific, my name is Nemissimo and I'm a member of the German language project sexuality. As an :de admin I'm currently trying to cool down a conflict on de:Fellatio.

The article uses your very appropriate image Fellatio.png. As you might imagine, the article has been the subject of intense discussions for years.
The consensus on de is to show the topic in a female-male and a second male-male depiction in order to have no gender bias.

Would it be possible for you to recreate Fellatio.jpg (male-male) and Autofellation drawing 2.jpg to the same excellent standard you archived with the first image? This would be a great help in improving the articles' quality and ending an seemingly endless conflict. Even creating one image would be a great help.

Kind Regards. --Nemissimo (talk) 18:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello WikipedianProlific, I have granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a review of some of your contributions, I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: I do not believe you will abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck.

Image request...

Hi WikipedianProlific! I've seen some of the beautiful images you've created and I was wondering if you could possibly create a diagram for Harappan architecture. The current image is this, and it was made by me (I have very little graphic design skills, or the necessary programs.). The new image would be zoomed out a little more, and with clearly defined walled sections. Maybe it could have streets going through it. If you are able to, could it be in SVG? The Harappan Architecture has some information on city layout. Thanks. --θnce θn this island ^Speak! 01:46, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Scientologycrosssymbol.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Scientologycrosssymbol.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. Cirt (talk) 01:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I write from mexico, your picture of hemorrhoid is very didactic for patients. I have a request for you, some times is not easy understand diverticular disease and polyps in colon.

Request for an image of Schrodinger's cat

Existing illustration

Request: Can we please have a labeled image of Schrodinger's Cat. I'm sure you're aware of the thought experiment: the cat is both alive and dead, the bottle is both whole and broken, the poison is both in the bottle and spilled and the lever and hammer are both up and down. If you'd prefer, I'll be happy to label it.

This has been posted at the Graphics Lab for a few days with no takers. Help me, Obi Wan Kinobi...

I thought you may be interested, I have created a page here to showcase and coordinate our illustrative efforts - if you have any comments, eg. someone important I left out, please tell me. I am also working on Portal:Computer Generated Imagery to do this in the longer term, but I'm not ready to go public with that, still needs far too much work. Dhatfield (talk) 22:58, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Computer generated imagery

...exists. Please help to improve this Portal - the scope is anything that is generated on computer without a sensor. The Topics section is the only part at first draft.

Image needed

Greetings, WikipedianProlific. Another user recently placed Image:Piston engine breathing.svg in a great many vehicle-related articles. As you can see, this image does not depict anything, least of all an internal-combustion engine. It is a poor-quality attempt at a schematic, wholly dependent on extensive labelling to convey its nominal image. There's nothing wrong with the concept of an image such as this, showing the various parts through which air flows on its way into, through, and out of an IC engine, but a poor-quality, random image such as this what I've linked just won't do, as it seems to me. An animated image would be most preferable, I think, since we are dealing with airflow induced by the operation of the engine. I am thinking of your previous images along this general line and wondering if you might want to tackle the present need. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 18:53, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Dolphin

Hello WikipedianProlific, like many others I'd like to compliment you with your exelent computer generated images! I've adapted one of your pictures for the Dutch wikipedia. I think it is polite to inform you about adaptations made of your work, although it's licensed under the GNU. I translated a quite big piece of text from the English article about the dolphin, to be specific the dolphin's anatomy. When I saw your image on the English wikipedia I knew it would be great on the Dutch wikipedia too. All I had to do was translating the actual terms and that is what I did. I would like to show you the result and I hope you like it. click here. Thank you for creating these great images, you truly make Wikipedia a richer encyclopedia.

File:Wasp morphology.png

Can you confirm that this image was based on a line drawing from a US Department of Agriculture publication? --Tony Wills

The reason I asked is that I came across [2] on [3] which appears to be a scan of a printed image, and it is attributed to USDA. I think it is clear that your image shape is basically identical but your labeling is slightly more imprecise (the vertex is the crown of the head, and the ocelli are sensors on top of the head), which suggests yours was derived from it. I couldn't spot it on the USDA website and as it is a scan, I assume it was probably in some print publication. If you don't know where it came from, I might ask that website if they can clarify its source. I agree that the HowStuffWorks version is probably an unattributed edit of yours (although I suppose they might have started with the same original too :-). Thanks, --Tony Wills.

Call for submissions

Hi.

There's an ongoing dispute at masturbation over the use of some images, and I was hoping you might be able to help out with something to solve the problem. We currently have some images that users uploaded of themselves masturbating, which is ruffling quite a few feathers. The camps seem to have split into a group that thinks there shouldn't be any pictures, and a group that thinks anything less graphic than what they have is censorship.

In an attempt to strike some middle ground, I came across your cunnilingus art, which seemed to be detailed enough to convey the image without being quite as over the top. If you have the time, I think something similar might help cool things down over there.

If you're able to help or know someone else who can, we'd love to hear from you.

Thanks,

—Bdb484 (talk) 05:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
