 * Brilliant job, thank you so much! Although is there any chance you could perhaps change the file's title to "Proposed flag of Minnesota (1957)"? It's just that the label of "North Star Flag" is more commonly associated with the very popular proposed Minnesotan flag designed by William Becker and Lee Herold in 1989 (both on Wikipedia and indeed everywhere else), hence it may create a bit of confusion for this file to have a similar title. Sorry about this. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:38, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey, just thought I should let you know that I've now been able to make a renaming request on the File myself. Sorry about this. The only reason I asked you if you could do it is because when I tried to submit a renaming request the first few times, a notification about some kind of "Error" kept coming up. So I thought, since you're the File's uploader, you might have had better luck in getting the name changed. But now the Error issue (whatever it was) seems to have passed, so it's all good now. Sorry for the unnecessary waste of time. But anyhow, thanks again for creating this file, your help is always greatly appreciated. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 14:11, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Radiative Cooling Diagram
Non-free image of energy budget diagram of radiative cooling.


 * Article(s):
 * Radiative cooling
 * Yakhchāl

Hello, apologies if this isn't the right place. I'm looking to get a Sankey diagram to help explain the concept of radiative cooling. Especially for how yakhchāls used them, but more importantly, even the scientific article of radiative cooling doesn't have a visual of the concept. I found a non-free image that I think would be a good diagram to use, and was wondering if something similar could be made. The non-free image shows that there is an energy budget balance in play, and that there is therefore a net energy out of the pools which allow ice to form. This is what I would like to have as a diagram to follow along with the text in the article to help explain the concept. It should have the following arrows:
 * Request:

Input energy arrows:
 * Conduction from the ground
 * Thermal radiation reflected back

Output energy arrows:
 * Water evaporated
 * Thermal radiation emitted

From what I've read this could be in or out:
 * Convection from the air

In the Sankey diagram, the width of the thermal radiation out should be the largest to help explain the radiative cooling process. An idea of the widths can be gathered by the non-free diagram linked above. Another thought is that I think it would be nice to be in same style as the current image used to describe the evaporative cooling process in these ancient structures, that way the colors and themes in the article are kept consistent. Thank you, Fephisto (talk) 15:25, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Discussion:

Hi Fephisto! I made two versions for the sankey daigram. Which one do you prefer? Did i miss anything? If it's ok I will upload the file on Commons MingoBerlingo (talk) 17:16, 7 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @MingoBerlingo, that is awesome. Thanks so much.  I think both are great, although I could see the scientists over on the radiative cooling page might appreciate a traditional Sankey diagram, so I'll elect the one on the right.  Fephisto (talk) 17:25, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ here is the file File:Yakhchal_radiative_cooling.svg. MingoBerlingo (talk) 09:44, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom in Scotland
Article(s) United Kingdom Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom Request Per the discussion located here. It would appear that our present version of the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom for use in Scotland may be inaccurate, and that the heraldic version of the Crown of Scotland is used in all four places (the head of both supporters, on the helmet, and on the crest). There are several images for reference in that discussion, but this one is probably the best. If someone could make stylization like the ones produced for other coats of arms that would be amazing.

However, given my past experiences with these requests; As long as the new file is an adequate representation of the burgee without being an exact copy of it (which I'm sure would definitely be illegal here, hence why I provided a different shell template to use, as it's not even close to being identical to the shell from the first link), then I'd still recommend using the same license as most of the other Cornish burgees on WC (one example provided here, which also deliberately isn't a complete mirror image of the real-life burgee here.).

 * @Leyo Am I understanding correctly that, for example, "C2H6 Fog" is correct and "C26H Fog" is incorrect? If so, the files you posted all look correct to me, I don't see any of the incorrect versions on them. It's possible that your browser is rendering the text on these SVGs wrong for some reason, what browser/OS do you use? (For reference, these images load correctly for me on Firefox and Chrome on Mac OS Ventura). Dragon401k (talk) 03:10, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Did you check the file description pages (File:Titan atmosphere detail.svg/File:Titan atmosphere detail de.svg)? The first two errors exist in all browsers I tested, i.e. seems to be browser-independent.
 * The same errors occur in rendered PNG versions, e.g. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/Titan_atmosphere_detail.svg/2000px-Titan_atmosphere_detail.svg.png.
 * The third error occurs in the full SVG view (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/41/Titan_atmosphere_detail.svg) in Firefox, but not in MS Edge.
 * In addition, the typographically correct way to write the molecular formula of e.g. ethane is with subscript numbers (C2H6), not with small numbers (C 2 H 6 ). That could also be improved in the graphics, if possible. --Leyo 08:25, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm seeing the error in some PNG renderings (example), though the two SVG file description pages are OK. You are correct, re subscript-versus-smalltext. Sorry, solving this puzzle is above my pay grade. — RCraig09 (talk) 13:46, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

 * For me (Chrome for Mac), the big renderings (at the top of the file description pages File:Titan atmosphere detail.svg and File:Titan atmosphere detail de.svg) are correct. But the "Other resolutions:" examples are not even consistent with each other! Some are correct; some are wrong. It's a mystery to me. Sorry. — RCraig09 (talk) 16:25, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
