I've uploaded spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for charts in SVG format.
Summary: You simply paste or enter your data into the spreadsheet, and specify image dimensions, number of grid lines, data ranges, font sizes, etc. The spreadsheets instantly and automatically generate a column of XML code. You simply copy and paste that code into a text editor and save as an ".svg" file. The spreadsheets produce lean SVG code, and should save you time in creating SVG charts. Though my original spreadsheets are written in Microsoft Excel, I've received reports that they also work if read into other spreadsheet programs.
Warming stripes — Accepts a single dataset and converts to SVG code portraying Ed Hawkins'warming stripes graphics. User chooses vertical or horizontal stripes; normal or reverse data ordering; or from a variety of geometric shapes (updated 17 May 2023). . . . . Click here to see examples of warming stripes embedded in different shapes.
Warming stripes bar chart — Accepts a single dataset and creates a conventional bar chart whose individual bars/columns are coloured according to Dr. Hawkins' warming stripes colour scheme. Alternate option: choose one colour for ascending bars and another colour for descending bars. (updated 28 August 2023)
Line charts — Accepts up to six datasets. (updated 30 August 2023)
Vertical bar charts (column charts) — Accepts up to six datasets. Toggle between clustered and stacked charts; user can adjust "Yfloor"—the Y level (usually=0) from which columns rise or fall; user chooses to keep or ignore negative input values. (updated 27 August 2023)
Horizontal bar charts — Accepts up to six datasets. Toggle between clustered and stacked charts; user can adjust "Yfloor"—the value (usually=0) from which bars extend; user chooses to keep or ignore negative input values. (updated 27 August 2023)
Scatter plots — Accepts up to five datasets. (updated 28 August 2023)
Pie charts — Accepts a single dataset of up to 36 items. (updated 17 May 2023)
Variable-width bar charts — Accepts up to six datasets; is like "Vertical bar charts", above, but user can choose different widths for different bars. (updated 27 August 2023)
An Excel .xlsx spreadsheet automatically+ generated the XML code for the following SVG images:
20210502 Warming stripes comparison of Global Mean Surface Temperature datasets.svg +I manually combined five automatically generated images into this one
20210507 Warming stripes - ellipses - global warming.svg
20210522 Warming stripes - longitudes - meridians on a globe - global warming.svg
20210526 Warming stripes - hearts - global warming.svg
20210507 Warming stripes - triangles - global warming.svg
20210530 Warming stripes - diamonds - global warming.svg
20210604 Warming stripes - XLSX to SVG - various Diamond etc configurations - GIF.gif
20210507 Warming stripes - rectangles - global warming.svg
20210517 Warming stripes - pentagrams - stars - global warming.svg
20210508 Warming stripes - hexagons - global warming.svg
20210507 Warming stripes - octagons - global warming.svg
The spreadsheet user can toggle a switch to reverse the order of data, so red is in the center (or left side of first graphic) and blue is at the outside (or right side of first graphic).
The spreadsheet user can choose height and width (in pixels), to compress or expand shape vertically and horizontally, for example, to change an ellipse to a circle or a rectangle to a square.
@KaitlynneLimberg: You simply have to find images, from somewhere, that are either in the public domain or under a suitable Creative Commons license. There is no "one place" you can find such pictures. Sometimes flickr.com users publish pictures with an adequate CC license. Follow the copyright links at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents to learn more. To upload non-free-use images can be a violation of federal copyright law, which Wikipedia and Wikimedia of course want to avoid. —RCraig09 (talk)18:05, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I noticed that you reverted my edit on All American (aircraft). There seems to be a conflict between different sources on whether the name is "Boyd" or "Engel." I'm inclined to believe this one because its source for the name is more than just a guess at bad handwriting. Additionally, this source addresses the misidentification of the co-pilot as "Boyd." LeBron4 (talk) 17:51, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. @LeBron4: A 2016 version of the Disciples of Flight reference doesn't have the disputes that are in the 2020 version that I archived in the citation. The source evolved over those four years and I'm not sure how that affects reliability in this field which doesn't have heavyweight newspapers doing the research. So, I think it's safest to keep both sides of the story in our Wikipedia article. I'm copying this discussion to Talk:All American (aircraft) —RCraig09 (talk)18:42, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, RCraig! I saw an edit summary from you go by that said something about using Excel files to create SVG files? Someone on Commons requested I convert (line-drawing graphics? can't remember) to SVG files and they might as well have asked me to glomack the korpel via nuddensterm digropics. I wonder if you could tell me where to go to start to figure out what they're asking me to do? —valereee (talk) 17:35, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Victorgrigas: I could see that if there were a 1972 in climate change article, that book might be worthy of mention. However, that mention would mainly involve saying that the book was published in that year. I've seen the recent reviews of how prescient the book was, but I purposely didn't include such reviews in 2021 in climate change because the book's prescience is not specific to 2021; it's ongoing. Probably, the best place for the current favorable reviews is in The Limits to Growth article itself, of course citing reliable current references. —RCraig09 (talk)03:03, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fair use
"Fair use" of promotional materials like posters used to promote films and the actors appearing in films provided by motion picture studios and film distribution companies are normally not challenged for "fair use". They are provided for public use in order to promote the films and the actors. If you are looking for a one sentence addition on Wikemedia commons then you can add in whatever one sentence 'fair use' comment you feel is needed. I have added two different promotional images now which you have reverted. I think the promotional poster from her new film for Jodie Comer is already on Wikimedia commons and appears to be adequate until better images become available. Either one of the 2 promotional images for her I have presented on her page can be restored. ErnestKrause (talk) 16:10, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ErnestKrause: On WikiPedia, there must be a specific non-free-use rationale provided for each use of an image. Separately, WikiMedia accepts images only if they are in the public domain or are properly licensed—which is very different from WikiPedia. —RCraig09 (talk)16:42, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I believe that I have finally finally found some images that are suitable to be used on Jodie Comer's article. I just wanted to run it by you first, since you have been keeping on top of making sure there aren't any copyright violations on the page. The images are screenshots from YouTube videos with a CC license, it all seems legitimate to me. If you have any qualms with the images or if I have missed something, please let me know because I want to be certain that everything is A-okay before actually adding them to the article. I have already uploaded the images to Commons, so if there are any problems I will delete them as soon as possible. Anyways here are the images:
Leganerd.com is mentioned or used as a source on Italian Wikipedia about 20 times, and seems to be a genuine—albeit extremely sparsely viewed—entertainment website that appears to make its own original interview videos.
Cinestera is barely mentioned on Portuguese-language Wikipedia, but has 46.7 thousand YouTube subscribers and appears to generate its own original videos.
Both videos state "Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)", which is not very specific and I don't know if it qualifies under Wikimedia Commons' CC licensing requirements. I'll investigate there, but things look hopeful for the very first time. —RCraig09 (talk)14:21, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@RCraig09: Yes, YouTube's Creative Commons licensing is okay for Commons. According to [1], the specific license is CC BY 3.0. We even have a template for it: {{YouTube CC-BY}}. Make sure to also tag the upload with a license review template so the license can be verified. Derivatives of such videos, like screenshots, are also okay on Commons so long as they specify the original source and use the same license or a compatible one. clpo13(talk)15:22, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Small request image
I'm slowly going over all aspects of climate change to make sure it's main page ready. One of the issues with the current article is that there is a bit of sandwiching of images. I was wondering if you could cut off the empty bit of the cherry picking image, which could start from -0.6C rather than -1C. I don't think it will solve the issue entirely, but it's a start and the image will be prettier as well :). FemkeMilene (talk) 08:28, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Femkemilene:Version 7 of the Cherry Picking GIF is now uploaded. I changed the aspect ratio from 1200:900 to 1200:800 to reduce height, and reduced size to upright=1.00 in the CC article itself. (2020 datum is included in update.) I did not want to change the aspect ratio more, because I discovered that making the height too small makes it look like temperature change has not been as rapid as it has been. —RCraig09 (talk)21:15, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Your reminder of discretionary sanctions for climate change
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
Hello! Voting in the 2021 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 6 December 2021. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Hi RCraig09, I'm a student working on the Climate Communication article, and I have recently added my edits to the main space. I was wondering if you could help me incorporate and organize the existing article into my edits because there is some overlap. I'm a little at a loss of how to do it myself because I'm new to Wikipedia editing. I see that have some experience and are pretty active on this article. Any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Upuslay (talk) 00:41, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Upuslay[reply]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Brazil. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
Thanks for your feedback on my (large) edit to An Inconvenient Truth. I've written a fuller reply on my talk page (TL;DR point taken) but I wanted to follow up with you more proactively here.
I had a look as you suggested at 2020 in climate change, and it seems like an apt comparison because in both cases over half of the article markup is citations.
However what I need help with how to choose appropriate names for the ref's, as they're currently unnamed; is there any guidance on that or do I just use my own best judgement?
@Martin Kealey: I don't know of any specific "rules" for naming references. I use the source followed by a "_" followed by a date. :For example:
<ref name=NYTimes_20220519>.
If you have embedded spaces, you must use quotes:
<ref name="NYTimes 20220519">.
This system almost always avoids conflicts between different citations, and gives useful information when it's invoked within the narrative text with the slash "/":
If you use the cite template located in the drop-down box at the top of the edit box, it automatically puts in quotes " " for you. —RCraig09 (talk)01:37, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for caring about climate, I do too. To keep the hounds at bay, we have to use WIKI WP:P&G but that means living by it ourselves. This frustates me at times, but list articles still need to comply with NPOV and WP:LISTCRITNewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 02:20, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@NewsAndEventsGuy: The section you cite, WP:LISTCRIT, recites "While notability is often a criterion for inclusion in overview lists of a broad subject, it may be too stringent for narrower lists; one of the functions of many lists on Wikipedia is providing an avenue for the retention of encyclopedic information that does not warrant separate articles,..." Please reconsider so we can avoid an edit war. I'm open to different wording, but using the term "significant" does not violate WP:NPOV as your edit comment claims. —RCraig09 (talk)02:29, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@NewsAndEventsGuy: In view of the foregoing WP:LISTCRIT quote, do you seriously think Wikipedia should limit that article to items warranting separate articles?? Your 14 June revert technically violated WP:BRD, and I want to avoid an edit war but will change back within a day or two unless I hear from you. Again, I'd be very willing to consider serious suggestions for wording of inclusion criteria. —RCraig09 (talk)21:51, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I get that you don't like the edit summaries from that IP, but quotes supported by Goodreads and Medium shouldn't be in any Wikipedia article. Drmies (talk) 15:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What a rubbish revert and statement, apart from the fact my spell-checker did not find any errors, which if there was, correct them, which is so minor in this context, it is the Title, not the contents that determine what the article should cover. Note, it does cover, in part, both prior e.g. the art of the deal and post, e.g. 2020 lies, maybe it needs expanding or change the title and "restrict it" to your narrow definition that does not correspond with the current title.The Original Filfi (talk) 08:02, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A personal thank you for your work of raising the quality of my addition! A short apology for not citing more nuanced and mixing in some unrefed statements which spilled over from critical discussions of The Blue Marble. I wrote it a bit hurried. I love the elaboration of the source, I was wondering if you knew Bimm, since you elaborated the source so nicely? Nsae Comp (talk) 19:08, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Nsae Comp: No, I don't know Bimm. I just sat at my computer and read his paper and found it to be very thoughtful and rich in content. It took me several hours to digest and organize and write. I'm happy that you consider my edits to be an improvement. Thank you for sharing that material. —RCraig09 (talk)19:14, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
