Generation timeline

I see you have been fairly active on the generation timeline interactive image at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Generation_timeline.svg I don't know how to edit the images and I don't want to revert back to an image from June 3 2024, but somehow in the changes after that date the explainer in the top left got lost only on the english version. without that example it is just a bunch of trapezoids with shading that means nothing without the explainer that it is groups of cohorts and turns 18 etc. would you be able to add that back? I had used this before as a refrence to explain generations but then went back to it this week and was wondering where the rest of the image went. HandsomeRob1977 (talk) 19:05, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi HandsomeRob1977, You have uncovered a bug in Wikipedia's thumbnail rendering: When an SVG file has en-simple localisation (meant for "simple" English), it overrides the default en (ordinary English) one. If lang is not specified, it should default to the en version, but instead uses the en-simple version intended for infobox thumbnails and has no legend or background bars:

No lang (should show English but instead shows simple English)

lang=en (should show English but instead shows simple English)

lang=ar (Arabic version for comparison)

lang=dummy (forces the English version)

A workaround is to specify a non-existent language code such as lang=dummy as above to force the default version with legend and background bars. Does that help? Cheers, cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 14:55, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-inertial reference frame

Hello, this is an gif/animation request for non-inertial reference frames. This gif is alright, but I think it could be improved if different basis vectors had different colours, maybe adding the axis of rotation as a dashed line and maybe adding a point with a vector from both coordinate systems to this point. Maybe it would look too cluttered... I think I would have to put a lot of effort to make such an image, but I think it could be easier for you and you could do a good job with it, if you would do it :) --Gustamons (talk) 16:40, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gustamons, I can make that in POV-Ray but first need to clarify what you mean by "a point with a vector from both coordinate systems to this point". Do you mean an arrow from the origin to the point? cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 15:09, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Cmglee, yes, from the origin of both coordinate systems to a point, kind of like in this image. The rotating coordinate system could also have a varying rate of rotation, but I am not sure how one can visualize this without it looking weird... I also don't know how cluttered this image would be. Maybe just different colours for basis vectors and an axis of rotation will do, while the point and varying rotation rate could be added if it doesn't clutter the image or make it look odd. --Gustamons (talk) 16:07, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First version

@Gustamons: Is this what you had in mind? cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 14:34, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good base gif!

I hope this isn't moving the goalposts too much- I think since non-inertial reference frames are a physics topic, this gif could showcase the different fictitious forces that arise in the rotating reference frame.

Maybe the vector to the points in each reference frames could be removed to make room for the force showcase.

Now thinking about it, I suppose the rotation axis should faces inside/outside the screen(so maybe? no need to show it), because all the forces are cross products of the angular velocity and so are perpendicular to it. It is easier to see movement in the screen plane instead of depth.

To my understanding, the force equation for rotating frames is ${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\mathbf {F} &=\mathbf {F'} +m{\frac {\mathrm {d} {\boldsymbol {\omega }}}{\mathrm {d} t}}\times \mathbf {r} '+2m{\boldsymbol {\omega }}\times \mathbf {v} '+m{\boldsymbol {\omega }}\times ({\boldsymbol {\omega }}\times \mathbf {r} ')=m\mathbf {a} \end{aligned}}}$, where (') indicates the rotating reference frame^[1]

I think it would be cool, if the point started close to the coordinate origin, then with ${\displaystyle \mathbf {F'} =0}$, Coriolis and centrifugal force would kick in and accelerate the particle. The trajectory in the inertial frame would look kind of like this. Then the ${\displaystyle \mathbf {F'} }$ could be big, make velocity to zero and then become smaller to balance the forces for a while(so it stands still in the inertial frame). Then I suppose ${\displaystyle \mathbf {F'} =0}$ again and making the${\displaystyle {\frac {\mathrm {d} {\boldsymbol {\omega }}}{\mathrm {d} t}}}$ negative would create Euler's force (if it were positive, it shares the direction with centrifugal force, so it being negative is more illustrative I think, as at least they are in opposite directions). I am not sure how to end the gif...

I think the forces should be vectors attached to the particle with their length showing magnitude.

Anyways, this seems like a lot to ask and I am kind of amazed that you would reply and even create a base gif from a strangers request... Keep being you :D --Gustamons (talk) 21:46, 19 February 2025 (UTC) Gustamons (talk) 21:46, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gustamons: That's quite different from your initial request. If the rotation axis is perpendicular to the screen, it would appear as just a dot.

The only major change I'm prepared to do is to keep the point stationary while the basis vectors rotate, the yellow vector continuously pointing from the origin to that point.

I'll upload my POV-Ray code. Feel free to edit it as needed. cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 01:51, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is understandable. Maybe its for the best as this gif is already alright. Thanks! --Gustamons (talk) 20:08, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure! Thanks for adding it to the articles in different language Wikipedias. cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 01:42, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Cmglee - Your Sankey Diagram for The Earth's Energy Budget.

Hello Cmglee.

I am beginning to learn about The Earth's Energy Budget.

I have been reading This Wikipedia Article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_energy_budget

Where Your Wonderful Sankey Diagram is illustrated:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Earth_heat_balance_Sankey_diagram.svg

I have gathered some more Earth Energy Budget Diagrams here:

https://ukmjenkins.wordpress.com/earth-energy-budget

Two of These Earth Energy Budget Diagrams,

clearly illustrate The Loops of Energy,

in The Absorption, and The Radiation, of Energy at The Surface of The Earth,

and The Longwave Infrared Energy radiated, back to Earth,

and back into Space, by The Greenhouse Effect.

I have been looking at These Diagrams,

and I am trying to comprehend Them,

and I am trying to comprehend The Greenhouse Effect,

and The Resulting Earth's Energy Imbalance,

at The Top of The Atmosphere.

I really love Your Sankey Diagram.

Please could You please try to study,

The Earth Energy Budget Diagrams that I have gathered,

and please could You please try to create,

A New Sankey Diagram that assimilates All The Information,

in All These Earth Energy Budget Diagrams,

and that gives An Example Value for The Earth's Energy Imbalance,

at The Top of The Atmosphere, please ?

Please forgive My Way of writing,

It is how I need to work, to be able to be clear, please.

RSVP. Yours Faithfully, Ukmjenkins (talk) 06:23, 29 August 2025 (UTC).[reply]

@Ukmjenkins: Thanks for your message. I'm afraid it will be very difficult if not impossible to combine the data from all your images. For one, some of them don't balance the incoming and outgoing energy, implying that the Earth is continuously heating up or cooling down.

If you can find a single reputable source with figures similar to what I have in File:Earth_heat_balance_Sankey_diagram.svg#Summary, let me know.

Whirl illustration

Hi! I appreciate the concept and effort behind the new illustration on Mice problem, but it hurts my eyes due to the intense moiré effect. Would you consider making a different version that is less visually intense? Thank you! Dreamyshade (talk) 18:37, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dreamyshade: Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear. Can you tell exactly what causes the issue? Is it the contrast between black and white (will other colours help)? Alternatively, if the frequency is lower, such as File:2deg_square_whirl.svg, is it better? Cheers, cmɢʟee τaʟκ (please add {{ping|cmglee}} to your reply) 22:20, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, both of the images have the problem for me. I believe they cause eye strain for me due to the dense, high-contrast striped patterns. For context, my eyes are also sensitive to flashing lights and some kinds of short, repetitive animations. I don't have epilepsy or migraines, but the triggers are similar. This paper seems to have some helpful explanations: "A neurological basis for visual discomfort" (full article). Dreamyshade (talk) 01:01, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, this website has a better overview, based on that person's research about visual stress. 2025 article: "A neurological basis for visual stress and its treatment with coloured filters".

This article is also helpful: "The effects of visual discomfort and chromaticity separation on neural processing during a visual task": "Stimuli that are particularly aversive are high contrast, mid-range spatial frequency (2–8 cpd) square wave gratings (stripes), with 50% duty cycle. These stimuli can induce discomfort and headaches in individuals with migraine and elicit seizures in patients with photosensitive epilepsy. In neurotypical individuals, they can induce discomfort, visual illusions, and large neural responses in visual cortex, that are heightened in migraine."

Thanks for asking, interesting to find out that there's been a fair bit of study of this experience that I have! Dreamyshade (talk) 01:17, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A square whirl with alternating black and white squares (may trigger people who are ...)

@Dreamyshade: I see. How about putting it in a collapsed infobox with a warning, like so? Can you word it appropriately? Cheers, cmɢʟee τaʟκ (please add {{ping|cmglee}} to your reply) 14:00, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmglee: Sorry, I edited your example to stop displaying it on this page because the image causes eye strain for me. I recommend removing it from the article, because the existing illustrations explain the concept sufficiently. If you want to add something else, I suggest adding a new illustration that has much lower contrast and naturalistic colors. For example, photos of the bronze sculpture Icosaspirale by Charles O. Perry demonstrate the whirl without hurting me. Another photo that demonstrates the whirl. Dreamyshade (talk) 19:12, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dreamyshade: Does the image not appear until [show] is clicked? If it doesn't, what browser and operating system are you using? The sculpture is a 3D version and is much more complicated than the whirl described. cmɢʟee τaʟκ (please add {{ping|cmglee}} to your reply) 22:45, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmglee: Added a harmless image for testing, so I can figure out the circumstances where it shows unexpectedly (I think it was while I was in editing mode). The underlying issue is that I don't think it's a good idea to add a harmful image to the article at all, because it's not necessary for explaining the topic adequately. The sculpture is just an example of colors and patterns that aren't stressful for my eyes. Dreamyshade (talk) 00:12, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
