Image Perspective

edit

Hi Alvin,

I've seen on Wikipedia how you've edited images (usually pictures of Bibles) to adjust the perspective, for example the image of the Revised Standard Version.

I've uploaded four or five Bible book pictures, and they look like they need their perspective adjusted too. Which program do you use to do it?

Thanks,

Michael


To answer your question, I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 to adjust the perspective. About, the images you uploaded, would you please list them here. Thank you. —Black and WhiteUSERTALKCONTRIBSBlack and White 01:00, 7 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Wow, thanks, they look more professional now. I especially like Image:The Message- The Bible in Contemporary Language (2002).jpg. By the way, is there a reason why you converted Image:Strongs.JPG into a PNG file with transparency? I assume there is a technical benefit (that I'm not aware of), but I noticed that it's now increased the file size by a factor of eight.
Secondly, is there a reason why some Bible pages (not just on the pages we've worked on but others) have very large image thumbnails but others are smaller? Do you know if anyone has ever talked about making a standard template for Bible pages?
Thanks,
Michael2 09:43, 10 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome. About Image:Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (1998).png, I think it turned out to be a bad idea. I will rework it and file Image:Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (1998).png for deletion.
I'm pretty sure there is a template for articles on Bible. See Template:Bible translation infobox. This template has parameter. It's not that complicated. See the template's talk page for information about how it works.
You may also want to join WikiProject Bible (WP:BIBLE) to discuss your thoughts on Biblical articles. I might join. You can express your ideas and draw this issue under light in a larger WikiProject, WikiProject Christianity.
Take this into consideration. —Black and WhiteUSERTALKCONTRIBSBlack and White 02:11, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

TeX vs HTML

edit

Hi. Just a note. Per the math style manual, HTML formulas are acceptable, and even may be preferrable if LaTEX formulas end up as PNG images inline. So while it is good that you TEXified slope, it may not be a good idea to spend a lot of time of converting existing math articles to LaTeX, not until MathML is adopted anyway. Just thought I would let you know. :) You can reply here if you have comments. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


Thank you for the comment. I replaced the formula with TEX because it would have then looked uniform. I thought that some TEX here and some HTML there would look disorganized; so, I made them all into TEX as organized and best as possible. —Black and WhiteUSERTALKCONTRIBSBlack and White 22:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

So you are fine with a black/white duality, but not with a TEX/HTML duality. :) Thank you for your explanation. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

In essence, yes. Thanks for checking. Black and White (TALKCONTRIBS) 02:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

United States or United States of America

edit

Please look at MSN Encarta and Britannica before using the word "encyclopedic" so carelessly. Both of them call their article "United States," because they follow the same policy as Wikipedia—they use the most common name of something for the article name. Also, please read the official text of the U.S. Constitution [1]; it uses United States about 50 times to refer to the United States of America. --Coolcaesar 03:42, 22 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


Actually, looking back to the policy, I was going to consider to change my vote. However, next time, please leave this comment on the page the vote takes place, so that it may benefit other voters. Black and White (TALKCONTRIBS) 01:39, 18 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

This is the reason that I dislike bots. Actually, the source can be found in its description page as deriving from another image from Wikipedia, which has a public domain license.

Problems with Image:Times New Roman versus Georgia.svg

edit

Thanks for fixing up the SVG trouble I had, which I posted on the Village Pump. But, now I have another one: Image:Times New Roman versus Georgia.svg. The basic idea is to have a Times New Roman alphabet over a Georgia alphabet. (See Image:TNR-Georgia.png.) This time, the Georgia alphabet won't appear and the Times New Roman is covered in black as last time. Maybe, I'm saving the file wrong. Do you save it in "Inkscape SVG" or "Plain SVG"? Thank you. Black and White (TALKCONTRIBS) 21:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


I have had a long play with this and come up with something that works. You might want to adjust the final size of the Georgia font to get the two fonts to line up exactly.
I am not entirely happy with my solution, because I do not know why the new version is working and the old wasn't. The original did have a rectangle object in the XML which seemed to cover all the text. I removed this in the XML editor but it still didn't work. I also noted that the Georgia text was actually two parts (the letter "a" and the rest of the text); changing this made no difference. In the end I removed all your original text and put new text in. This seemed to fix it. The only thing I can see is that the Inkscape said the original text was "linked flowed text" whilst the new text is just "text". I do not know what the difference is.
There are a couple of other things I discovered:
  • Whilst inkscape displayed the original correctly neither Wikipeida (which seems to convert it to PNG), Internet Explorer (opening the file directly from my local disk) or GIMP (which converts it to a bitmap) seemed to be able to display it correctly. Suggesting Inkscape might be the culprit (or at least doing something fancy not supported elsewhere).
  • The new version looks about right in Wikipedia (with both fonts being the same length). However, in Inkscape the line of Georgia text is distinctly longer. This time the problem looks to be Wikipedia as opening the file directly in IE or GLIPS Graffiti Editor both produce exactly what Inkscape shows.
As Wikipedia seems to be rendering the images to PNG I will try and see if the render engine is available to download. This will at least avoid the need to keep uploading the files to Wikipedia to see if they work.
Finally it doesn't seem to matter whether you use Inkscape SVG or Plain SVG --MarkS (talk) 19:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Have had a quick look round and text in SVG does seem to be a problem. Batik seems to offer a fairly full SVG implementation and refuses to open the original SVG images because of the flow element. I can't find what Wikipedia is using to convert the images but Batik is mentioned as a possible method to convert from SVG to PNG (which is what Wikipdia seems to do). Looking a W3C there is version 1.1 of SVG which doesn't mention Flowing text. Version 1.2 (which is still draft) does have flowing text. My best guess is that Inkscape has implemented the draft version 1.2 but most other packages haven't. The trick seems to be to draw text in Inkscape either by just clicking where you want the tick (rather than streching out a text box) or drawing the text and selecting Text-Unflow from the menus. Then test it in Batik. --MarkS (talk) 20:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much. I should start to check the XML before I upload it. Black and White (TALKCONTRIBS) 20:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Matthew West.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Matthew West.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

IPC headings

edit

Hello,

I've noticed that you have reverted most of my heading edits for the India Pentecostal Church of God article. Under the level 1 heading, "Expansion internationally", there is a level 2 heading called North America. What doesn't make sense is why isn't the level 2 heading "IPC North American Family Conference" under "North America"? Also, the level 3 heading "United States" should be under "North America" and not "IPC North American Family Conference". Lastly, because the Eastern and Midwest Region is in the United States, it would only make sense that the level 2 headings "Eastern Region" and "Midwest Region" should be under "United States".

I have temporarily reverted your edit. If you disagree, please reply below or more conveniently at the end of my talk page. Black and White (TALKCONTRIBS) 21:21, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Reply


Hi Black and White,
You are right. I do agree with your logic.
What I tried to do was only to correct a few mistakes that were made (for example: ===Eastern Region==; several heading where like that), not knowing whether you meant those headings as level 1, 2 or 3. If you compare the versions, you will know exactly what I mean.
Now it flows better. It does make sense. Appreciate what you do.
By the way:
THE FOLLOWING IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF IPC ARTICLE ARE NOT VERIFIABLE OR FACT BASED, JUST SOMEONE'S OPINION...NEED TO BE REMOVED.
(However, the percentage of Christians in its mother state, Kerala has declined from 25% to 18% of total population making it the third largest religion in Kerala. The Pentecostal movement largely converted most of its members from Catholicism, Mar Thoma, Jacobitism and Eastern Orthodox. Due to the large rate of conversion in Kerala and throughout India, many opposing parties blame the organization for disrupting the local cultures of villages and tampering with ages-old customs, such as marriage traditions.) 74.103.8.33 13:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Aaron Shust.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

The original image was listed as public-domain, so I simply edited and released it to public domain. Black and White (talk) 19:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

The reason that your image is listed is because the cover of the book is copyrighted like every other part of the book, so it is a type of copyfraud (not to be read as a deliberate attempt at copyfraud on anyone's part). It is not listed because of your licensing. In other words, the image never should have been uploaded because you can't upload images of the cover of a copyrighted book. Royalbroil 04:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Look at the licensing on the other image in the article (Image:Title Page to RSV.jpg. It has a fair use license. You should change the licensing on your image to that license.

Non-free rationale for File:New English Bible cover.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:New English Bible cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.
