Concerning your images[edit]

Hi Zephyris

I found your images gallery very nice. I was wondering which program do you use to make those very nice picture? I am working on the software Blender,but this software is a little difficult to handle for beginner. And I would like to contribute in Wikipedia, but I'm also a beginner in that field. Do you know if there is a software which allows to write a wikipage off-line, and then paste the text in a wikipage on-line? Because I'm not often connected to internet so I could be easier for me. thanks you a lot !!!! for your answers!! 194.57.202.3 12:34, 10 May 2007 (UTC)capsulcorp[reply]

I use a combination of Microsoft Expression, Google Sketchup, PyMOL and the GIMP for my pictures. Blender is an awesome program but the learning curve is tough... As per writing pages offline I just use Notepad, the wiki markup is easy to remember to use offline... - Zephyris _Talk 12:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Contributions to "Mouthpiece (brass)"[edit]

I noticed you created a nice table with the effect of each element of the mouthpiece. I've been meaning to do this ever since I created the pretty diagram for that article (1 or 2 years ago), but never got round to it! Thanks for your work.--Dbolton 02:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My Contributions to the Pathway Project[edit]

Hi Zepyris, I need to say that the work that the Pathways Project has done is incredible! Glycolysis has improved beyond belief, there is no comparison between before and after. Anyways to the meat of it -- I have been doing some work for a bit now towards pathways. I have drawn diagrams for the TCA cycle, the pentose phosphate pathway, the Calvin Cycle, and the Hatch Slack pathway. But I love the style that the new glycolysis page has taken (with the data boxes for each reaction, the look, and the comprhensive explanations), and I think it is the way to go. I'd love to know what you (the project) think is the best way I can help out. Is there a place for my 'pathway overview' diagrams? I could try to standardize a format for them all (colour, ways to show stereospecificty, style etc.) so they better fall in line with an overall design. I would love to see all the pathways treated similarly so they can be quickly understood. what do you think!? Adenosine | Talk 05:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC) ---- P.S. I like some of the stuff you've done with your User page and Talk page, I'm gonna use some if you don't mind...[reply]

Hi Zephyris, re scalable vector graphics: did you try http://www.inkscape.org/? MarkAnthonyBoyle 02:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, got but avoid using, I much prefer microsoft expression, which can only export to .ai...

I have done it in inkscape... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Helicopter_AnatomySVG.svg, should i have uploaded it over your png or started a new file like this? i wanst sure ;) im a noob too... Ryanlerch 03:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Permission request[edit]

Hi Zephyris. I must say I really like your pretty pictures. I would like to use the one with the sucrose specific porin in the introduction part of my PhD thesis (which is about gene regulatory networks). I'll be happy to license that whole part of the thesis under the GFDL, but I'm not too thrilled about having to print several pages of license text (in 180 copies) just for two images (yours and one by Mstroeck). So I'm ever so kindly asking for your permission to reproduce the image in my thesis without accompanying it with the full license text, while still adhering to the GFDL spririt, providing a link to the license, and crediting you. Carl T 11:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds fine! Nice and officially: I, Richard Wheeler, give you (user Carl T) permission to use, for the purpose of your PhD thesis, the image "Sucrose specific porin 1A0S.png" as published by me on http://en.wikipedia.org as the user Zephyris, on the conditions that I am credited as the author of the image and a link to the GFDL is given in place of a full copy of its text. - Zephyris _Talk 11:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I humbly thank you for your kindness. Carl T 09:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DIC Microscopy[edit]

Thanks a lot man. Those helped out a decent amount. I actually had a guy at our university who does imaging come on down and give me like an hour crash course on how to use my scope. That helped out a ridiculous amount. The guy who left and I inherited it from told me to never touch any of the settings, which is the worst advice possible. Thanks again man, I appreciate it. -Ryan Rjkd12 19:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ha. The problem with inheriting a DIC scope is you are expected to do a lot with it and produce a lot of data ;). Are you on AIM or yahoo?

Hey man. On a side note I have a few people I wanna chat with using the new google chat. I have spent the last 30 mins trying to create accounts and make it work and I can't for the life of me. I noticed you were on it. Now, it has nothing to do with me chatting, but me needing to not let google win. I can't get iChat to work, so I'm signed in via google and I have chatting enabled. If you could try to send me a message to see if it works that would be great. Thanks man, my new email is bocceballmaster@gmail.com Thanks Rjkd12 20:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Stirling Cycle 1.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Stirling Cycle 1.png. 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:

Beta stirling animation[edit]

Hi Zephyris, knowing it is never a nice thing to see people replace something you worked hard on, I would like to ask if you’re okay with this alternative for a beta stirling animation. Could you please have a look at Stirling engine#Action of a Beta type Stirling engine and see if this is an appropriate visual explanation of a beta Stirling engine?

Use of your Helicopter Schematic image?[edit]

Hello Zephyris,

May I use your Helicopter Schematic image on some T-shirts and other items?

I have already set up the page because my first thought was that I was OK under the GNU Free Documentation License but then I wasn't sure and figured out of courtesy I should ask anyways. If you would rather I did not use the image I understand and I will remove it immediately. If I may use the image, thank you! You can see how I used it at www.cafepress.com/defy_gravity/2655256.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Chromosome mutation images and genetic linkage illustration[edit]

The chromosome mutation images like this one are great! Of course I didn't come here just to say that... ;) Wondering if you'd mind repurposing the chromosomes used in these images for an illustration of the concept of genetic linkage? It seems that physically seeing different 'genes' at different distances from one another on the chromosome would help people form a mental image of the idea. (If this seems too simple, I took a crack at chopping out a chromosome and doing this myself, but it turns out I'm still image-incompetent...) Thanks! Opabinia regalis 03:30, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, ill give it a go! Genetic linkage wont be the easiest thing to demonstrate, being a probabilistic event, but should be possible...

Homeboy got skillz![edit]

Hey, what software was involved in the creation of this [1]? I love you work! --Seans Potato Business 14:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and what causes some of your photos (e.g. [2] to get that dodgy yellow background? --Seans Potato Business 14:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Microscopy diagrams were made with Sketchup, now owned by google and available as a free download (though I don't know what features they've taken out...).

As for the yellow background most of the photos have been edited slightly to tidy the background - unfortunately my monitor has very high contrast and I have made a mess of it! needs redoing...

Dude!!! I got rid of the yellow background but uploaded a PNG, thinking that that was what it was originally. The origin of the image is now somewhat obscured. Thanks for pointing my in the direction of Sketchup - wicked program... and now for something completely different:

Re: your pretty chromatin organisation picture. It could do with a couple of tweaks: firstly the direction of the helix is currently left-handed when it needs to be right-handed (as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA) (I can't take all the credit for being this anal since it's on the chromatin talk page). Secondly, the sixth frame of the image comes under 'the metaphase chromosome' but I'm pretty sure that this scaffold exists outside metaphase. According to my understanding, the scaffold can be further "bunched up" in response to the addition of whatever mystery factors, giving rise to 'the metaphase chromosome'. My source is my Molecular Cell Biology textbook by Lodish et al. (2003), pages 427-8 - incase you want to corroborate before making the change (always a good idea if I'm involved). Thanks again for sharing your talent! --Seans Potato Business 11:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Chromatin organisation.

Yeah I screwed up the DNA helix direction didn't I! oops... Re: the scaffold I labelled this as metaphase chromosome to highlight the fact that, despite popular knowledge, chromosomes do not form the classic X shape under normal circumstances... It's not quite correct but I feel its more useful this way, always open to debate though! Its the classic balance between intentional simplification for education and the truth. - Zephyris _Talk 23:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'd like to introduce another step into the diagram (it could work with one frame, but using two would keep the magnification/protein adding pattern), but also alter the sixth frame so that the DNA loops don't overlap and there is just one loopy black line going along. Then insert a new seventh frame which shows the unfolded interphase scaffold. Another 'add more proteins' and we get the new 8th frame - compaction - the green scaffold zigzags and you have DNA loops overlapping all over. The final frame would also need to be overhauled (i.e. scrapped ;) ) to show the X chromosome as a green zigzag scaffold covered in loops! This shouldn't affect clarity, since you maintain the "Metaphase chromosome" label.

Do you keep the originals of your illustrations in the format of the software in which they were made? If you can provide me with such an original, I'd be happy to make the adjustments if you don't have time. Alternatively, I can just use the version I've got (I already downloaded it and flipped the helix). Out of interest, what software did you use to produce the helix? --Seans Potato Business 17:08, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I should have the original file somewhere, although I have had a reformat since I made the image so it may take a while to find! It was made in Creature House Expression 3.0, which has since been bought by Microsoft, but the old version is still available as a free download http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/products/previous/creature-house-downloads.mspx . - Zephyris _Talk 23:59, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any luck with that file? If not, I can just go ahead with the original; probably wont make much difference... --Seans Potato Business 17:23, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the slow reply - dissertation deadline! I cant find the original file, so just modify the version online. I wish hard discs didn't break so much! :S - Zephyris _Talk 13:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

your nadh dehydrogenase picture[edit]

Hi, I'd like to ask you about this image of NADH dehydrogenase (first off it's really nice, but) I think it's NADH to NAD⁺ and FMN to FMNH₂ at the top and ubiquinone to ubiquinol at the bottom. Also at the top, the image sort of implies that FMNH₂ and NADH are oxidised together when it's actually NADH being oxidised and in the process reducing FMN. Correct me if I'm just totally confused. 129.31.72.52 21:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According Fundamentals of Biochemistry by Voet Voet and Pratt it's indeed NADH to NAD⁺ and FMN is part of Complex I and takes part in the redox to pass on the electrons. probably will have been a typo --Snelleeddy 16:41, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

162.129.251.30 18:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Fred[reply]

Of course you can, but it would need a reference to the source PDB entry too. If its being used for that level of literature might I suggest a few changes? In particular the "cartoon" structure overlay obscures the structure of the bases, would you like to see some alternative representations? - Zephyris _Talk 08:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image I refer to looks great and nicely emphasizes the intercalation. Of course, I'd be interested to see any other images on the subject that you think might be useful (and nice looking). fbunz@jhmi.edu, if that makes it easier. I will of course reference the source PDB entry too. Thanks for your help!

On Using your DNA[edit]

Glycerol[edit]

Hi Zephyris, I attempted to convert your excellent glycolysis template into something I could use for glycerol. However, I think I messed up the syntax somewhere, and the diagram/table is now showing at the bottom, along with some other peculiar alterations to the text. I was wondering if you could troubleshoot the problem. Thanks! --Uthbrian (talk) 09:27, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nucleosome structure[edit]

Mr. Wheeler,

I wanted to contact you about your image of the nucleosome. In Nucleosome_structure.png, your otherwise beautiful and excellent image suffers from a couple problems. In the inset, "Complete Histone With DNA," there are two problems:

The double helix of the dsDNA is shown to be left-handed. The crystal structure (Luger, et al, Nature 389: 251, 1997, PDB entry 1AOI) shows that the DNA double-helix is right-handed when wrapped around the nucleosome;
The same image shows that the DNA spiral around the nucleosome is left-handed. In your image, you display it as right-handed.

Finally, the line connecting the H3-H4 tetramer to the histone octamer should contain only one starting point, rather than two, because there is only one H3-H4 tetramer present in a core octamer. Sorry to be so critical; your images are beautiful! I hope you are able to correct these issues, since they unfortunately detract from the accuracy of the images. Cheers!! --chodges 17:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just realized that if one takes the inset graphic and flips it vertically (mirror image rather than rotating), we get the desired result. Since this is your baby, I'll can let you take care of this if you like. If I don't see it updated in a few days, I may go ahead and do the deed. --chodges 18:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for your comments! Im very busy at the moment (UK floods :s) so it would be best if you could fix the inaccuracies. It would be best to flip the inset DNA/octamer complex vertically for symmetry with the existing images. Finally surely the core histone octamer consists of 8 subunits, 2x H2A, 2x H2B , 2x H3 and 2x H4? - Zephyris _Talk 19:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about one of your images[edit]

Hi, I was looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Microchips.jpg and I was wondering if you knew what the small window on the IC was for? If you don't know, it's fine, I just was curious. - /dev/null 21:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These are programmable microchips, with a voltage applied to a particular leg then the memory may be written. The window lets the programming be erased - the microchip is UV sensitive, and UV light erases the stored data. Normal usage would've seen the chip programmed then a sticker put over the window to block UV light. - Zephyris _Talk 08:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stirling cycle images- do you have vector versions?[edit]

Hi, I just came across your excellent collection of Stirling cycle diagrams, and I marked them all as being suitable for conversion to SVG format. But they look like they may have been drawn with a vector graphics program to begin with, and if so it'd probably be much easier to work from the source. Would it be possible for you to upload SVG versions? If you do, I can sort out all the SVG-related templates so that there isn't extra hassle. Bryan Derksen 01:35, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are vector, but ".xpr" format from Creature House Expression. I can export to a format like ".ai" for you to work on, but have no way of knowing how well it will work! - Zephyris _Talk 08:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can give it a crack, I suppose. Inkscape claims to be able to read Adobe Illustrator ".ai.svg" files, is that the sort of .ai files you mean? If so I should be able to fix any minor glitches that may occur in the conversion process, I'm reasonably familiar with Inkscape. Shall I email you so that you can get my email address and forward me files as attachments? (Sorry it took me so long to reply, I got tangled up in some template-related work that kept me happily busy for the past week and my image to-do list fell by the wayside for a while. :) Bryan Derksen (talk) 00:05, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about using image[edit]

Hi, Zephyris. I love your images and would like to use your DNA_orbit_animated.gif‎ in a video (giving you proper credit, of course). However, I notice that the GNU Free Documentation License requires that "when printing a document covered by the license, [one] must also include 'this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document'. This means that if a licensee prints out a copy of an article whose text is covered under the GNU FDL, he or she must also include a copyright notice and a physical printout of the GNU FDL, which is a significantly large document in itself. Worse, the same is required for the standalone use of just one (for example, Wikipedia) image" --GNU Free Documentation License. This would be impossible for most uses, and particularly in a movie. Does this mean I cannot use your beautiful image?

Thanks for your help. Faylei (talk) 16:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The video uses the text of psalm 139. Shall I upload a low-resolution version to YouTube, so you could see if you like the use of your image? If you don't, I'll remove the image and use another. If you do like it, you could let me know if the credit I've given is acceptable. Faylei (talk) 21:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The responses on its FA nomination talk page aren't exactly encouraging. It would be nice of you could go through it and come up with some suggestions, edits, or any changes in images (if that's what you enjoy the most), or basically anything that would help improve the article.

Hello! Truth be told I did not notice you until this very point of my process. I have made a small announcement a while back on my interest on merging a few of the inactive wikiprojects that have have relation to MCB as task forces. I have begun doing this on the Metabolic Pathways wikiproject which you I see were the creator/maintaince individual. I am sorry I did not give you prior notice to you specifically, had I seen your name earlier I would have asked you for your oppinion first. Anyway, I hope you don't mind too much on all the changes I did (basically moving everything under MCB) and the reasons I have done so can be found in the MCB talk page. Furthermore, seeing as the project was tagged as inactive, I just had the assumption that whoever made that project was long gone... as it turns out you are still present here. So again, sorry for not getting in contact with you first, before making all the changes. I hope you do not see all the changes in a negative way :(. Kind regards.

No worries at all! The project has been sitting inactive for a long time, no useful progress recently! Hopefully this change will get some interest back. - Zephyris _Talk 07:17, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to hear! Yes, it was one of my main reason for doing all this, the possibility of both MCB and the subsequent task forces to be made out of this to become more active as a whole. Cheers!Calaka (talk) 08:29, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Amateur[edit]

Hi Another Wiki amateur here, and not sure if this is the right way to even leave a message. I would love to use your haemoglobin image in an MD thesis, hopefully followed by a published paper or two. Is that use OK? 124.179.43.162 (talk) 11:37, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wopuld be happy with that so long as credit is given to me (Richard Wheeler (Zephyris)) and reference to the file on wikipedia. - Zephyris _Talk 22:56, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SVG images[edit]

Hi Zephyris,

I came across one of your neat images File:DIC_Microscope.png -- are you preparing them using a vector image editor? If so, you can upload them directly to Wikipedia as a Scalable vector graphic, which reduces storage size (good for wiki), and provides "infinite" resolution - helpful if anyone ever prints posters, or other large formats. Just thought I would let you know, as several of your images have been tagged with {{svg}} asking for SVG conversion User A1 (talk) 04:30, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Those are some old images I made using sketchup - A 3D program which doesn't have a (good) vector output - so sadly there is no simple way to convert them to svg... I could try remaking them in blender at some point and try one of the vector output plugins. - Zephyris _Talk 08:03, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nucleosome Structure image[edit]

Hi Zephyris, I am currently working on my Master's thesis, pertaining to epigenetics, and would like to use your nucleosome structure image. May I have your permission. Your work will most definitely be cited. Thank you, Shaver1881 (talk) 00:01, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please go ahead! I, Richard Wheeler, give you (user Shaver1881) permission to use, for the purpose of your Master's thesis, the image described above. - Zephyris _Talk 07:29, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
