Project Help
Hello Zephyris. I am a student in this graduate-level course. My project is to work to hopefully get an article to good article status, and I have chosen mTORC1 as my article. I am at the phase where I am supposed to elicit responses and found your user page under the molecular and cellular biology page. If you have any input to the article, that would be great. If not, that is okay as well. Thanks. Flemingrjf (talk) 04:08, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Request to use an image.
Hey Zephyris,

I have just posted the helicopter anatomy picure in my blog. Sorry, I have only read now, that I should ask for permission first. Sorry for being so impolite. I just didn't know. Please let me know if you want me to remove the picture. You can find it here: http://helikopterhysterie.blogspot.com/ It will be tomorrow's entry. The blog is about helicopters, mostly it is original content and it is published daily.

Best regards

Image usage
Hi Zephyris.

I would like to use one of your images at PurposeGames.com

It is the "Helicopter Anatomy" image.

If you're not familiar with PurposeGames, please have a look at it. In particular, see my profile at:

http://www.purposegames.com/profile/1325

if you check my games (available through the profile), you'll see that I make a habit of referencing the original author, and providing links to the sourcepages.

I will check back here for an answer. You could also leave me a message on my message board, but that would mean you'd have to register at PG, which you may not wish to do.

At PG, I go by the name Tickman. Here, I use the name Chadron (though I have yet to do anything at Wikipedia).

A Template Intervention Request
Dear Zephyris. I'm trying to work on a pathway, and I'm stuck with something on the Complex Enzymatic Reaction template. I saw your name as a major contributor to the editing of that template. I'd really appreciate your help. I've copied out my complaint here so you won't have to travel far. Thanks a bundle! Shiningheart (talk) 19:36, 5 March 2010 (UTC) How do I edit the size of images in this template? I've tried a variety of things, but to no avail. I'm still a rookie, so I don't want to edit any changes in the template itself. Can anyone assist? Thanks. You can check out my talk page to see the pathway I'm editing and the problem I've encountered.
 * To change the image size you just need to add the desired size in the template in the correct format. It gets complicated because of the crazy table and template formatting but if you just follow the following example it should always work fine:
 * To enter the following image with a width of 25px
 * Fructose.png
 * Enter the following in the template instead of just "Fructose.png"
 * Fructose.png | 25px
 * The " | " encodes a pipe ("|") in a form that the template can cope with so it gets passed to the image properties.- Zephyris Talk 12:17, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Axenic
Hi Zephyris,

I didn't understand your edit to Axenic. Is axenic culture any more important for studying these organisms than others? I'd have thought it less important in these cases for the reasons described in the last section of that article. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 15:33, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Axenic culture is definately important for parasite and symbiote research. For example study of a human parasite would be almost impossible if you could not grow the organism in the lab. Obviously study of the organism in the host is also important, but with totally different research aims. - Zephyris Talk 13:13, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Stirling engine
Hey Zephyris, I recently noticed your stirling engine animation (File:Alpha_Stirling.gif ) One thing that's missing in the schematic dough, is the flow of (hot/cold) gas back trough the regenerator. At http://www.animatedengines.com/vstirling.shtml, this is included in the schematic making things allot more clear. At first, when I saw your image, I didn't quite grasp it inmediatelly (needed to cross-compare with other images first). As such, I think this change of the animation is vital. In addition, another things which isn't quite clear is the heating and cooling. As I understand it, this only happens intermittently, and not constantly. Perhaps that you could draw out the heat exchangers connected to a short pipe, and apply coloring depending on when they cool/heat (I'm guessing this is done via valves ?)

Finally, a same approach needs to be followed with the beta stirling animation.

Thanks in advance,

KVDP (talk) 08:20, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You make good points but sadly (for the time being at least) I just don't have time to update the images. Maybe at some point in the future, my animation skills have come on a long way since then! - Zephyris Talk 21:42, 10 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I made updates to 2 of your images:

I think they're correct (check anyway dough), so I will probably get started on the other images if you give me permission. I'll also need your support, especially since I've got some administrators watching every move I make on wikimedia commons (ie Andy Dingley, Globbet, ...) After the images are done (and checked), you can then make a new version of the animated gif. I hope this will save you allot of the time required so that we can finish it immediatly.

 * Hey Zephyris,

I'm not sure whether you noticed it, but the image improvements I proposed have been deleted since then. Aldough 1 image modification contained errors (beta stirling, see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Gamma_Stirling_frame_1.png ), the alpha stiling did not contain any, so the only explaination I can think of was the fact that I did not have your explicit support to make the new versions for your images. Is it thus possible to get your explicit support ? In addition, I'll probably alter the cycle, so that frame 1 is also the first stroke. Perhaps it's best that I sent you the images first via e-mail when they're done (perhaps best via your hotmail adress, rather than the PATH-one ? That way checking goes quicker and perhaps you can upload them (that way it's clear you support the modifications). Thanks in advance.

 * I guess if there were serious mistakes in one image then the other wiki users would have been suspicious of the changes to other images, sorry you have had difficulties with this. If you get any more problems you can leave me a note and/or direct them here and I will do some talking too! I am very happy to check images etc. if you send them to me, my hotmail address would be best. Good luck, and thank you for contributing! - Zephyris Talk 21:57, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

NADH Dehydrogenase
Hi, Zephyris!

Recently a translation of Oxidative phosphorylation was proposed to FA in the spanish wikipedia. I desagree with this nomitation, because I think that the article is a bit obsolete and lacks relevant information about thermodinamics and mechanisms, and also the structure of the article, even when its quite good, it's not the best it can be.

Now I'm trying to improve the article by myself. I wonder if you could make a new unlabeled image like but using data from

PDB ID: 3M9S instead. I tried to do so with PyMol, as you can see here, but it can't be used in commons, as the picture states that can be used only for education. ¿Any clue? Thanks in advance: --Gustavocarra (talk) 17:22, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * How about this? I aligned the alpha helix-rich membrane domain horizontally as this seemed like a sensible orientation. - Zephyris Talk 19:05, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, thanks, Zephiris for your time and quick answer! Very nice with these metallic colors! The orientation in my image shows both the new-found cavity in which is thought to have place the electron transfer to ubiquinone, and also shows the HL helices, wich unfortunately are in the opposite side of the membrane domain, and are very important to explain the proton translocation mechanism in this model. So I hope you could represent the lipid bilayer as in your former image to give 3D impresion. Iron clusters are not necessary since I know their location and can be added when I label the image. Anyway, the lipid bilayer could be represented with dimension lines if you couldn't add it.

Cosmic Calendar
Hi! Much thanks for your constructive review of my featured picture candidate on the cosmic calendar. I have tried to fix the issues you raised and would like to repost it as a featured image. Could you critique the current version? Your prior review was very helpful:
 * Image is now native 1600 * 1200 png
 * Description has been updated. I was previously relying on the article to explain the image
 * I left the calendar at 3 timelines with december 31st having most information, but I tried to graphically separate out human evolution on December 31st. I did not add a 4th timeline for the hours of the day as I couldn't get it to work without graphically cluttering the image.
 * Most text changes you suggest are adopted. I left "dinosaurs at top of food chain" because it captures a key idea, which is that mammals were blocked from diversifying and advancing because dinosaurs were the dominant life form. Is there a better way to say that with fewer letters?

Thanks again! - Efbrazil (talk) 22:23, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

suggest redrawing main DNA molecule to make it consistent with upper blowup of TA base pair
In your excellent ball and stick DNA picture,

DNA Structure+Key+Labelled.pn NoBB.png

there is an inset showing blowups of two consecutive base pairs in the main picture. The lower base pair CG is correct but I think there is a problem with the upper one. In the blowups, the upper pair is TA, but in the main molecule it is GC. Maybe you can redraw the base pair in the main molecule to make it consistent with the blowup. (The next base pair up in the main molecule is indeed TA, but it is not angled conveniently for viewing---the T eclipses the A too much). Alternatively, you might want to redraw both the main molecule and the upper blowup to be AT. This would have the advantage of showing that the double helix can accommodate base pairs in any orientation, i.e. with either the purine or the pyrimidine on either strand, without distorting its overall shape. The way the main molecule is now, with GC above CG, shows this nicely, so an alternative fix would be to keep the main molecule the same and change the upper blowup to be GC. But that would have the disadvantage of not showing all four bases in the blowups. You clearly have a flair for this, so I leave it in your hands.CharlesHBennett (talk) 18:41, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Featured picture candidates/Codrington Library
Hi Zephyris- You had previously commented on this nomination. I wanted to let you know I have uploaded an alternate version of the original image. Thanks.--Godot13 (talk) 19:46, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Featured picture candidates: the archimollusc
Well over a year ago you voted on an image of an archimollusc which was a candidate for Featured Picture. I am renominating it now after many changes, most of them I hope for the better. If you have new thoughts, comment, or suggestions, they would all be appreciated. Thank you!  KDS 4444 Talk  17:44, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thermostat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Incubator.

WikiJournal of Medicine
I've a suggestion for you. The Wikiversity Journal of Medicine accepts submissions of medically-related images for publication. The format is to give some scientific background, describe the history of any previous versions of the image, references and sources, and the decisions made for how to present the information. It's an interesting way of having a searchable (on google scholar) cite-able record. It was featured in the signpost last week too (link).


 * E.g.:

Your diagrams such as File:HumanEmbryogenesis.svg would be great candidates for submission. I think its an interesting experiment in bringing together the Wikipedia and Academic communities so I'm also submitting Eukaryote_gene_structure. T.Shafee(Evo&#65120;Evo)talk 01:28, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

DNA-Model
Hi, I would like to know which software you used to create Image:DNA Structure+Key+Labelled.pn NoBB.png. I am interested in an DNA-Model for my PhD-Work (academic and non-profit work), I thought you might send me the model, or tell me where I can find a database. You can find my contact data on the website of my institute at TU Wien. — Johannes Kalliauer - talk &#124; contributions 11:47, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey, I made this using Blender. I wrote a custom converter from PDB using the PDB file 1BNA (http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore.do?structureId=1BNA) to OBJ, and then used modifiers in blender to make the final model. - Zephyris Talk 12:59, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Haemocytometer image
Azaroonus (talk) 11:19, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi. I like your image of the hemocytometer counting grid Hemocytometer but I would like to edit it slightly for my students as we use the Bürker Türk counting chamber which is slightly different. Would you be able to share an vector graphics (svg) version of the file so that I can edit it? I will also upload my edits (with attribution and share alike)

Software for generating visual content
Hi Zephyris, the images you create are stunning! May I ask you which software did you use to create File:Leaf Tissue Structure.svg or File:Leaf Structure.svg? Nicola Trozzi (talk) 14:09, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Trypanosomiasis in Madagascar?
I question the accuracy of the WHO data used in your chart. The 1.46121 deaths/100,000 people in Madagascar for the year 2002 figure I doubt as the tsetse fly is/was not present in Madagascar and I can find no record of sleeping sickness in Madagascar in either English or in French. The current WHO data shows no trypanosomiasis in Madagascar. Skimble skamble (talk) 20:19, 24 January 2022 (UTC) Skimble skamble (talk) 04:37, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Very slow reply I realise, but I've checked the source data and it does list 1.5 for Madagascar in 2002. - Zephyris Talk 20:48, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

T. brucei flagellar attachment
Hi Zephyris. Chhandama and I were talking about T. brucei and I see you added the text about flagellar attachment to the tsetse midgut. I don't think the (recently added) citations support that but I don't know of any other source that will either. I was wondering if you could support that 16 years later. Thanks.
