Commons request
Hi, further to your request at Commons, I note that you are editing regularly. To enable me to consider your request, please advise which IP addresses are causing issues and why these need to be used rather than the ones through which you have been recently editing?

 * Hi, 54.240.197.239 has issues but there may be others my org uses that I'm unaware of. I move around and am sometimes at this site. Of course, I could edit only from the one that works but it would be Wikipedia's loss if I find errors or insufficiencies but can't correct them because my org is blocked. I'm happy with arrangement you provided last time, so could you please repeat what you did in Nov 2017? Thanks, cm&#610;&#671;ee&#9094;&#964;a&#671;&#954; 13:27, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I have granted an IPBE for a further 12 months. Happy editing! Just Chilling (talk) 18:15, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Many thanks, – much appreciated! cm&#610;&#671;ee&#9094;&#964;a&#671;&#954; 19:22, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you!!
Hi! Yesterday I published this essay about correlation and just wanted to let you know that a lot of it started with your. It really helped get me thinking visually about it, and rewarded careful study and attention. I can't imagine how many people there are out there who feel the same, even if they never track you down to say it!! You have a lil shoutout in the essay's acknowledgements. Cheers from NYC Tophtucker (talk) 17:01, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi ! Many thanks for your kind words – I'm glad you found my illustration inspirational as I hope to make STEM clearer and more accessible with diagrams. I found your essay excellent, and especially liked your graphs and animation. Well done! Do let me know if there's another diagram you think would be useful for me to work on.

Query about making graphs
Hello, Cmglee. May I ask your expert advice? I'm wondering if you can tell me whether there is any sort of template or similar that would allow arithmetic manipulation of graph series. Say, plotting data serieses y1, y2, y3, and the sum or mean of all three over time, or turning a list of numbers of people diagnosed by date into a graph of culative cases in an epidemic. Presumably one could write one with Lua, but I'd rather not duplicate work if something exists.


 * Thanks for your message. I remember we communicated about the meta:Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019/Multimedia_and_Commons and File:Kugel_fountain_schematic.svg.


 * I wouldn't say my advice is "expert" :-) but I've come across the Graph extension. If it doesn't suit your needs, there are other similar templates. I've also hacked EasyTimeline for non-chronological use.

I'm also really impressed by your Sanky chart of the planet's heat balance. SVG linewidths are such an obviously suitable tool. I have some data I need to present in a Sanky chart; do you have any general advice on making Sanky charts with SVG? On a random subject, I suspect you may also find muqarnas fascinating (there's a bit more structural and geometric information in older versions of the article). HLHJ (talk) 15:32, 11 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Just some random thoughts:


 * 1) Plan the chart on graph paper or PowerPoint-like software.
 * 2) Use circular (elliptical) arcs instead of Bézier curves to make parallel lines.
 * 3) Increase the stroke-width slightly to avoid unsightly gaps (likely due to rounding and anti-aliasing) between lines of the same colour, e.g. as in File:Sankey_diagram_human_circulatory_system.svg.
 * 4) Not quite a Sankey diagram, but you can use SMIL to animate the stroke-dashoffset e.g. as in [].


 * I'd be glad to see your Sankey chart. Do let me know if you need any help.
 * Yes, I was interested in muqarnas in the late 90s. Their 3D structure is difficult to represent in a drawing, though. Cheers, cm&#610;&#671;ee&#9094;&#964;a&#671;&#954; 02:08, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

New tools for interactive diagrams
Hi. I'm working on some ideas for new open source tools for creating interactive diagrams. If you'd like to help influence their design, send me an email. I'd really welcome some input from your experience. JamesCrook (talk) 11:22, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Improvements
Could you add hover interactivity in this image? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_talk:Venn6.svg --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:52, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ cm&#610;&#671;ee&#9094;&#964;a&#671;&#954; 12:49, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Can you also add the "coordinates", like the ones in this image ? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:6-set_Venn_diagram.svg --Backinstadiums (talk)

 * That would be quite messy, as the shapes are not as simple as triangles. Even the triangle one is already pretty cluttered! cm&#610;&#671;ee&#9094;&#964;a&#671;&#954; 19:23, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I do not understand why the three circles are the same color. how about using the six different colors (3 primary (red, yellow, blue), 3 secondary (orange, green & purple)) as well as the resulting ones? Alternatively, a linguistic/semantic example would enhance the graphic and make it more easy to grasp --Backinstadiums (talk) 22:41, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * That seems reasonable, though it will mean having to modify other files of that series to match (commons:Category:Blank_Venn_diagrams). I'd suggest first asking for feedback on its talk page, and pinging its creator, for a second opinion. Cheers, cm&#610;&#671;ee&#9094;&#964;a&#671;&#954; 04:18, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you know how to move this conversation to its talk page? --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:23, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ I just copied the relevant parts to commons:file_talk:Venn6.svg cm&#610;&#671;ee&#9094;&#964;a&#671;&#954; 13:15, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Picture 4 is no Venn diagram. The main purpose is to generate logic conclusions therefore they are simply combinatoric. You can draw simple diagrams up to four, with five and more you have always to follow a border to get all the parts you need. --Room 608 (talk) 16:38, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Template:Ancient seven wonders timeline.svg
That's a really nice template. NB, this discussion suggested a page move. I'll leave it with you. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 08:54, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliment and apologies for confusing you with the extension. I think having it is useful as it informs editors that, unlike other templates, it's purely an image thumbnail. Furthermore, it gives the image type (extension). Finally, the exact filename of the image is there, should anyone want to go directly to the image page.
