== File:Solar system bodies rotation animation.svg ==

Hi Cmglee,

I want to translate the texts displayed in [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Solar_system_bodies_rotation_animation.svg Solar system bodies rotation animation.svg] to Turkish to use in the article [https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gezegen Gezegen] ([[planet]] in English). But my lack of command in coding and SVG files prevents me from doing it. If you can collaborate with me, I want to translate this file into Turkish. If it's an easy job for you, I provided you the Turkish translations of the words and some minor corrections. If it's not an easy job, then I would want to know how I can translate the words displayed in this file myself. Turkish translations and corrections should be like this:


Jupiter / Jüpiter,

Saturn / Satürn,

Neptune / Neptün,

Uranus / Uranüs,

Earth / Dünya,

Mars / Mars,

Moon / Ay,

Mercury / Merkür,

Venus / Venüs,


Rotation period / Dönme süresi

Flattening / Basıklık

Axial tilt / Eksen eğikliği


The "d"s in rotation period section / g

and all percentage symbols (%) must be before the values, not after them. For example: %6.5, %9.8, %1.7


This is all you need to publish a Turkish version of this SVG. I really would appreciate the help. Thank you. --[[User:Harald the Bard|Harald the Bard]] ([[User talk:Harald the Bard|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:34, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, your diagram has a few mistakes in it. For once the heading "heteronym" (different name) should be "heterophone" (different sound). Since 'desert' (sandy place) and 'desert' (leave) have the same name but are pronounced differently. Also the way the Venn Diagram is drawn makes it look like the top/middle section 'homonymns' is part of the wrongly-named 'heteronymns' section as well as the 'heterograph' section but while homonyms have the same spelling and the same pronunciation they are neither heterophones (since they do sound the same), nor are they heterographs (since they are written the same) (or 'heteronyms' since that's the opposite of what they are). — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2001:16B8:5025:2800:4DCB:8AE3:F656:65F7 (talk) 19:50, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for your note. I drew the graphic based on File:Homograph_homophone_venn_diagram.png above. I don't know enough about linguistics to make a judgement call or find appropriate reference. If you can get a consensus on the exact changes required from the English Wikipedia language reference desk, I'll upload a new version. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 01:44, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Comparison optical telescope primary mirrors.svg

I really loved your "Comparison optical telescope primary mirrors" artwork. The visuals easily show the variety of telescopes and relative sizes.

While rereading it I noticed that some of the planned dates have slipped. I played with changing a local copy but I wasn't sure how to send the changes back since I know nothing of how this system works. I am hoping you can use a diff:

282c282
<     <text x="-50" y="4em">Chile (planned 2022)</text>
---
>     <text x="-50" y="4em">Chile (planned 2025)</text>
287c287
<     <text x="0" y="2em">Mauna Kea, Hawaii (planned 2022)</text>
---
>     <text x="0" y="2em">Mauna Kea, Hawaii (planned 2027)</text>

---
>     <text x="0" y="3em">Chile (planned 2029)</text>
476c476
<     <text x="0" y="4em">(planned 2018)</text>
---
>     <text x="0" y="4em">(planned 2021)</text>

I loved the inclusion of the OWL and Arecibo. I included more information for Arecibo.

269c269
<     <text x="0" y="1em" class="comp">Arecibo radio telescope at the same scale</text>
---
>     <text x="0" y="1em" class="title comp">Arecibo Observatory (305m radio telescope) (1963)</text>

I noticed that everywhere the first light dates are last except for the Multi Mirror Telescope so I re-positioned them to be consistent.

407c407
<      <text x="0" y="1em">(1979-1998)</text>
---
>      <text x="0" y="3em">(1979-1998)</text>

---
>     <text x="0" y="1em" class="title">Multi Mirror Telescope</text>
>     <text x="0" y="2em">Mount Hopkins, Arizona</text>

I stopped there but there are little things that could be done like only using one unit (meters) and adding sizes to all.

I saw the page of your other art and it's just amazing. The breadth of interesting topics made for a late night of reading! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rogerflores92 (talk • contribs) 07:19, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Updated diagram
Thank you so much for your insightful suggestions and kind words, @Rogerflores92: constructive and specific feedback such as yours inspires me to contribute more diagrams!
I've checked the dates out and modified the diagram accordingly. I've also added FAST and updated ELT's name. I kept "at the same scale" for Arecibo, as I've done for other comparisons, to stress that it is not an optical telescope.
I had to put the MMT dates above as there have been two versions; putting them below dissociates the drawings from their respective dates. Alternatives are
  1. Putting the dates for every telescope below its drawing: looks odd to have a date before the name
  2. Putting drawings under their labels: to put non-mirrors together and to save space, I wish to put the radio telescopes next to the sports' courts, but starting the diagram with these (at the top) seems odd.
Measurements in inches were added to distinguish different telescopes or lenses at the same observatory, so form part of their names. I think converting them to metric would lose their significance.
Thanks again,

File:Solar system escape velocity vs surface temperature.svg - temperatures

Hi, someone on reddit commented that this diagram has some temperatures wrong. See here for details. --mfb (talk) 23:35, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, @Mfb: I've replied on the page that I'm not familiar with the subject, so can't verify the reasoning. I'll update the diagram if someone can link me to an authoritative source e.g. NASA or ESA – a table of escape velocity vs temperature will do. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 22:29, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

About the periodic table, the python code doesn't make sense. Could you tell me what needs to be changed? There were two errors listed by Visual Studio Code. And what am I supposed to do with the output from the python program?

Hi, I've moved your message from the top to better maintain chronology. In what way does it not make sense, and what two errors did you get? I deleted the first line of the SVG file, renamed it as Nucleosynthesis_periodic_table.py and ran it in Python. Both Python 3.8.0 and 2.7.8 generated Nucleosynthesis_periodic_table.svg (the file I uploaded) without error. By the way, what change(s) did you intend to make? Hope that helps, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:26, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Edward Colston statue location map.svg

Binomial theorem visualization up to 4th power

Hi. I really love the illustrations you make for all the articles. One of the images I was really fascinated by was the visualization of the binomial theorem in this article. I know this is your original work, but which academic publication/book did you use to get this idea of visualizing the binomial theorem? Thanks! --Dh*Phoenix (talk) 10:21, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your kind words, @Dh*Phoenix: I was inspired by an image similar to the one on http://reddit.com/r/visualizedmath/comments/8fziii/binomial_cube but expanded it to include more dimensions. The first time I see images such as File:Fourier_series_square_wave_circles_animation.gif, abstract ideas become concrete. I wish I was exposed to such ideas when I was a student, so I try to help the next generation understand concepts better. If you've any other visualisation ideas, I'd sure like to hear about them.

Generation timeline

Updated

The Generation timeline you created and added [1] was very well done! Just two minor corrections:

  • Can you change the end point of Generation Z to early 2010s instead of 2012 please?
  • And change the end point of Generation Alpha to mid-2020s instead of late 2020s?

The Generation article wasn't really up to date but it seems like another editor has cleaned it up just now [2]. Thank you! Some1 (talk) 21:02, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe for Generation Z, it could be changed to 1997 - 2012, following this chart by the Pew Research Center: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/01/17/where-millennials-end-and-generation-z-begins/ft_19-01-17_generations_2019/ Some1 (talk) 01:04, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for researching this and for your compliment, @Some1: I've updated it accordingly. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 16:43, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That looks terrific, thank you so much for updating it! Some1 (talk) 17:10, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi — I love your generations chart. Doing an image search, I don't see anything else like it. I humbly offer a few suggestions — can you have the Korean War and Vietnam rather than (or alongside) the Cold War? Those are more associated with generations than the Cold War, which is not known for a generation fighting in it. I think retirement should start at 65, not 60, and is it possible to feather (soften) the ends from 70-90 so it doesn't look like everyone dies when they're 70? :-) Finally, Millennials is misspelled. Perhaps in future versions, the height of each generation bar could correspond to the population, e.g., Boomers bar taller than the "Lucky Few" — even having the height of each bar vary across time, as birth rates go up or down. Great work! Jordgette (talk) 00:35, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Jordgette: Many thanks for your compliments and feedback. Good catch on my misspelling. I tried to make the diagram more international, so picked the ages 60 and 70 as they are multiples of 10, and cover the range from 1962 in [3] (best I could find), and from 1950 for North America and Europe in File:Life_Expectancy_At_Birth_By_Region.png, respectively. Softening it would make it harder to read, in my opinion. The Korean and Vietnam wars were US-centric, but I think are fair additions considering the readership. I like your idea of varying bar height (has to be number born, not current numbers, as the chart will then need to be constantly changed), but don't have the appropriate data. If you know of any, please let me know. Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:26, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmglee: Loads of countries were involved in the Korean and Vietnam wars to various extent, so mentioning them explicitly is not necessary U.S.-centric. They were, after all, hot spots of the Cold War. Anyway, this version is pretty good. I like the fact that you packed so much information into so little space, but without overcrowding it. Nerd271 (talk) 20:24, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, @Nerd271: kind of you to say that. If you know of any other topics to illustrate, please let me know. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:22, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A few more suggestions I have for corrections you could make:

-Change the Gen Alpha start date on your chart from 2012 to 2013, since Gen Z ends in 2012 on the chart.

-On your chart you appear to have the War on Terror starting in 2002; in actuality it started in 2001.

-You have Web 2.0 and the War on Terror bunched together as starting at the same time; however in actuality, Web 2.0 started closer to around 2004 (when the term was coined) or 2005 (when YouTube came out and Broadband overtook dial up).

-In-between the Cold War and Web 2.0, you could add Web 1.0 which spanned from about 1991-2004/2005.

Template looks really good, nice job.--CherokeeJack1 (talk) 23:50, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, @CherokeeJack1: . Agreed, though I understand the start year of Gen Z is not established, but for consistency with other generations, starting the year after end of the previous one seems sensible. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:21, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The start year of Generation Z at 1997 is fine: it matches the Pew Research Center timeline: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/01/17/where-millennials-end-and-generation-z-begins/ft_19-01-17_generations_2019/
Note that there is an asterisk next to the end point of Generation Z which means that the end point of Generation Z at 2012 is tentative for now. CherokeeJack1 was suggesting that you change the start year of Generation Alpha to 2013, which I disagree with because the end point of Generation Z and starting point of Generation Alpha are still tentative.
Your timeline dates as it currently stands for each generation look fine as it is now; no need to change it any further. Some1 (talk) 23:44, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Some1, As the start is "early 2010s", I think starting at 2013 is as good as starting at 2012, yet maintains consistency with earlier generations. Anyway, the caption and description has a disclaimer that dates are approximate. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:59, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding(?). The template says "Update as per CherokeeJack1's feedback", but CherokeeJack1 was asking that the start date of Generation Alpha be changed to 2013, but the template currently states that the start date of Generation Alpha is "early 2010s". Anyway, it's not a big deal. When Pew adds Generation Alpha to their timeline (which might be years from now since the oldest of that generation is around 8 years old now), the template could always be updated later.

Question about size-specific SVG programming

I just took notice of all the incredible stuff you do with SVGs, and saw that it's possible to do conditional programming in SVG, and think this might be good for an issue with my tartans. Specifically, once the librsvg generated PNG gets under 25% of the original image size, the mask resolution gets too small to let the lower layer through, and all you get is the weft (horizontal) weave (see the thumbnail on one of my tartan images to see, or generate a PNG rendering at 149px or less). I'm wondering if there would be a way of programming that layer to go to 50% opacity at <25% sizing. If you have any leads for me, I'd be grateful. VanIsaac (en.wiki) 07:26, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Vanisaac: Thanks for the compliment. By conditional programming, do you mean make the thumbnail renderer give different output depending on thumbnail size? I've found that thumbnails of some images drastically change at different sizes, such as these:

and

(if they look the same, try changing the zoom level using Ctrl+- and Ctrl+=), but haven't discovered what causes it and how to control it.
A more reliable method is to hack systemLanguage. This might work for your tartans as you don't already have text to translate. Will that work? cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:49, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mach Bands gradient overshoot

Added a smooth luminance profile for comparison

This is a very interesting image and a great way to illustrate the phenomenon. Is it possible to add a version where the luminance has a continuous derivative as a counterexample? 22:06, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Technically, it will always be discontinuous as SVG defines gradients with piecewise-linear functions, but I'll experiment with some approximations to see if it visually looks smooth. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 00:37, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message, @AlphaMikeOmega: w:Pyramid of the Sun gives multiple values, actually:
  1. In History, "The second round of construction resulted in its completed size of 225 meters (738 feet) across and 75 meters (246 feet) high..."
  2. In Structure measurements, location and orientation, "Height 71.17 metres or 233.5 feet"
  3. In the infobox, "Height 65.5 meters (216 feet)"
Not sure which is the correct value, if any. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 22:52, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I am not belong to any political party (I am not even an American!) but I'd guess @realDonaldTrump (and his supporters) will say your map is rigged since apparently there are only 222 hexagons, instead of 232 for Trump... — An Macanese 16:36, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Thanks very much, @An Macanese: well spotted. Surprised I missed that! cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 01:24, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And just an FYI, but the AP just called Georgia this afternoon after the recount confirmed Biden's lead. VanIsaac (en.wiki) 06:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Vanisaac. I've found the article at https://apnews.com/article/why-ap-called-georgia-for-joe-biden-29c1fb0502efde50fdccb5e2c3611017 . I'll update the diagram later today. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 08:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Hello Cmgleeǃǃǃ

The only Wikipedian I know ofǃ

I just wanted to say welcome, since you thanked meǃ ː-)

Also, you may check this...

A bug. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268832 Seeker220 (talk) 14:42, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Seeker220: Thank you very much for the barnstar. Superb contributions you've made with the Phrabicator, images and math equation copying.

I'd like to help, though I'm unfamiliar with Mediawiki development. I didn't know one can normally paste an image into a page from the clipboard; learnt something today.

Anyway, glad to hear from you and see you around! cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 18:55, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Kaohsiung Cijin Tianhou temple lion dancers.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.

Similar image to Lent_calendar.svg

Hi! Is there a similar calendar to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lent_calendar.svg but for the advent sundays? eg with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stir-up_Sunday and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaudete_Sunday etc, That would be really useful! I've tried to find names of the other sundays but haven't been successful. But if you want to make that, I will post them here, if I find them. CatCat (talk) 14:33, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @CatCat, I'm unfamiliar with this subject and a brief search didn't find anything besides w:Advent Sunday and w:Gaudete Sunday. Try asking at w:Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities. Good luck, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 19:01, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Simplification

Hi Cmglee, I gave your user logo a look.

  • You made it 512 × 384 px, viewboxing to 56 × 42. This causes an odd factor of 9.142857... - it is always better to avoid such odd numbers. I tried to redraw it with 56 × 42, which is a bit small and caused decimal fractions - but an exact copy with 512 × 384 px would have caused numerous odd coordinates. I would have chosed e.g. 400 × 300, which gave better measures, without decimal fractions.
  • You used cropping (and linecapping). Each one of the incomplete circles will need 20 to 22 bytes, while each one of your use instructions needed 67 bytes - it is much cheaper to draw the six circles one after the other, instead of cloning them. Some of the circles could have been drawn at their position, avoiding to clone them from 0,0.
  • The same can be done with the four "spots", so I drew each one directly.
  • In my drawing concept, the single path for the circles is drawn with linefeeds, for a better readability; of course it can as well be drawn in one line <path stroke="#000" d="m15,5a7,7 0 1,0 0,9m16,1a7,7 0 1,0-9,0M48,3a7,7 0 1,0 5,7M8,25a7,7 0 1,0 6,13M32,27a7,7 0 1,0 0,9m18-9a7,7 0 1,0 0,9"/> saving a few bytes.
  • I rather make descriptions in the file description Infobox, instead of within the SVG code - but this may anybody do as preferred. Some like title and desc.

My concept needs 452 bytes, your original 1413. -- sarang사랑 07:40, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sarang: I missed notification of your messages and just seen them. Thanks a lot – very kind of you to work on my logo. I originally wanted to use it in my talk signature but learnt that images are not allowed, so haven't really used it. Amazing work reducing it to 452 bytes: you really know the tricks!

SVG drawing

  • Hi, it is a great idea of you to fill an image with a circle instead of with a path. I will use it in future!
  • Are you really sure that all your drawings are {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0|GFDL}}? Some are sure ineligible.
  • You make fine drawings. It would be also fine when you classify them - using the Template:Igen. -- sarang사랑 08:44, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sarang: Thanks, my pleasure. I just use the default option. Some may indeed consist of just simple shapes but it's hard to know for sure what's eligible for copyright. I'd use Igen if it were simpler to remember; as it is, the codes are a mystery to me. Looking at Template:Image_generation, what options to use doesn't seem at all obvious.

Hi

File:Nucleosynthesis periodic table.svg Hi, can you edit technetium (43) and promethium (61), because they do occur in nature, plus it will be nice if you add the heavier synthetic elements. Kamran Tetra (talk) 16:05, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. If you take a look at File_talk:Nucleosynthesis_periodic_table.svg, you'll see that there have been many requests for corrections. Considering it has been well-researched and vetted twice by NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day team, I am hesitant to update it unless there is very strong evidence that there is a mistake.

File:Interstellar probes trajectory.svg

Dear CmgLee,

I really love your graphics, and I’d like to ask you about your excellent plot of spacecraft and planets over the last 50 years. This is the first time I’ve sent a message, so I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly or if I’ve sent it twice, so please bear with me!

I’ve been trying to produce an A1-sized map of the largest 150 solar system bodies and spacecraft out to about 150AU, where Voyager 1 currently is. It’ll be a plan view looking down from the ecliptic north pole, with distances on a quasi-logarithmic scale, using data from JPL’s Horizons ephemerides. I’d like to plot most planets’ and spacecrafts’ positions over a period of time – about 100 years for the most distant planets beyond Pluto, and over the period of one orbit for closer planets.

I’ve attached a rough sketch which I created in Microsoft Word, mainly because I don’t know how to use any other programmes, though I can use basic Photoshop and have a very basic understanding of HTML, but I don’t (yet) know anything about SVG or scripts. I’ve only plotted the approximate locations over time of the inner planets from Mercury to Saturn, but I did so using Word text boxes following a circular path. This makes it difficult to plot locations in exactly the right spot on the background circular graph paper.

Ok I tried to upload a screenshot, but I keep getting an error message saying “We could not determine whether this file is suitable” — how would I get round that? Meanwhile I’ve uploaded my screenshot to: https://ibb.co/yQvfhMT

So how did you create your graphic? I’m hoping there’s some magic programme where you just select a planet and the date range, then it automatically plots the circle, but I’ve just read your comment saying that you wrote a Python script, whatever that is.

Could you please let me know how you did it, what software is required, any good resources for teaching myself how to write the script, and any other tips? So far I’ve started compiling the distances and heliocentric longitudes into an Excel table; I’m not that interested in latitudes as I’m only creating a 2D plan, although I’ll probably add some symbols to indicate whether a planet is above or below the ecliptic. The only other complication is that my planned distance scale will be uneven – very roughly 1AU per square on the graph paper for the inner planets, 5AU per square for the outer planets, then 10AU per square for objects beyond Neptune.

Thanks very much! HalcyonGeezer (talk) 13:02, 4 June 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Hi @HalcyonGeezer: Thanks for your message and compliment. Nice idea to create a plot for 100 years, though beware that the inner planets will likely be simply solid circles along their orbits; even Jupiter will have gone round around 8.4 times.[1] I expect a diagram with 150 bodies will appear very cluttered, considering mine with 7, plus 5 probes is already rather so. You could omit the year markers, though you would lose context on their relative positions with time.
If you view-source https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/Interstellar_probes_trajectory.svg and delete the first line, you'll get the Python script I used to create the graphic. You're welcome to customise it under the current licence, CC-BY-SA 4.0
Without a full-fledged programming language, the best option I can think of is to use scatter plots in Excel or similar.
Both Word and Photoshop formats are unsupported on Wikimedia as they are proprietary, which I think technically requires licences to write readers for. You can upload PDFs instead.
If you haven't seen it, Solar System Live has several views you can adapt for your purpose. Unfortunately its resolution is pretty low by today's standards.
Hope that's enough to start with. I'd love to see what you come up with.
Cheers,
cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 21:40, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the tips @Cmglee — I'll do some research into Python scripts, and I'll let you know if I make any progress! HalcyonGeezer (talk) 18:53, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Definition

Would it be ok if I could use this image in helping me definite the term, 'transverse plane'? CaptainFelix1368 (talk) 09:59, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@CaptainFelix1368: I'm unsure which file you are referring to, but sure, as long as you satisfy its licence requirements. Suggested templates can be found under the Use this file on the web or Use this file on a wiki links on its file description page. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 10:19, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

File:Solar system bodies rotation animation.svg

Hi Cmglee,

I want to translate the texts displayed in Solar system bodies rotation animation.svg to Turkish to use in the article Gezegen (planet in English). But my lack of command in coding and SVG files prevents me from doing it. If you can collaborate with me, I want to translate this file into Turkish. If it's an easy job for you, I provided you the Turkish translations of the words and some minor corrections. If it's not an easy job, then I would want to know how I can translate the words displayed in this file myself. Turkish translations and corrections should be like this:


Jupiter / Jüpiter,

Saturn / Satürn,

Neptune / Neptün,

Uranus / Uranüs,

Earth / Dünya,

Mars / Mars,

Moon / Ay,

Mercury / Merkür,

Venus / Venüs,


Rotation period / Dönme süresi

Flattening / Basıklık

Axial tilt / Eksen eğikliği


The "d"s in rotation period section / g

and all percentage symbols (%) must be before the values, not after them. For example: %6.5, %9.8, %1.7


This is all you need to publish a Turkish version of this SVG. I really would appreciate the help. Thank you. --Harald the Bard (talk) 15:34, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
