Over-categorization
editHi! I like your SVGs, but they were put into very broad categories. E.g. First_law_of_Kepler.svg is in the categories Physics, Astronomy, Astrodynamics and Kepler motions. Kepler motions is a subcategory of Astrodynamics, which itself is a distant subcategory of both Astronomy and Physics. This is called over-categorization. Please consider reading the official policy on categories to learn more about it and why it is a problem. Thank you. TilmannR (talk) 08:37, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Arrow shows the wrong direction. Rotation is clockwise. --Tomatenbrille (talk) 11:21, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
- The engine was mirrored for aesthetic reasons. Arrows are correct, in my opinion! MikeRun (talk) 09:35, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Electric Potential
editThanks for uploading Electric-dipole-field-lines-and-equipotential-lines.svg. In case you are interested, VectorFieldPlot now has a built-in functionality to draw potentials, using the function draw_contours(). An example with code can be found at VFPt charges plus minus potential+contour.svg and the colored background is of course optional. Your image could be created with the code
doc.draw_contours(func=field.V, levels=sc.linspace(-0.46, 0.46, 33), linewidth=2.1, linecolor='#808000', resolution_px=1)
--Geek3 (talk) 13:09, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot! MikeRun
Please, do not add files to this category manually ! Use the script, or the template Igen; please tag your other SVG files as well, see e.g. Kirchhoff-example-circuit-loops.svg for example. -- sarang♥사랑 14:10, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry, this was not done on purpose. I think for instance had "Created with VectorFieldPlot" in the original soucre file, since it is shown as hidden category. Or maybe the deriveFX tool did this?!?! --MikeRun (talk) 16:39, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
- It should not be categorized manually with [[Category:Created with VectorFieldPlot]]. The Category:Valid SVG created with VectorFieldPlot will be added by the template.
- I did it now also with the VFPt Earths Magnetic Field Confusion overlay.svg -- sarang♥사랑 18:39, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
A barnstar for you
edit| The Graphic Designer's Barnstar | ||
| Fantastic drawings! I believe those are very precious works for Commons. With this I award you the Graphic Designer's Barnstar. Keep the good work going. --Geek3 (talk) 10:26, 25 May 2020 (UTC) |
- Thank you!!! --MikeRun (talk) 20:40, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Field direction
editHey, great work you're uploading. I think one of the fields in File:VFPt wires parallel individual and combined fields.svg has a wrong direction. --Geek3 (talk) 10:09, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- sorry, this was the result of careless copy and paste. the direction is now correct. Thanks for hinting! --MikeRun (talk) 13:53, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Zyclotron
editHi MikeRun, I discovered an mistake in your image about the Zyclotron File:Zyclotron.svg. The circular path of the particle must be counter clockwise and not clockwise. Because according to the Right Hand Rule the Lorentz force points in the back at the beginning and so will the paticle move also to the back. Then the circular path will be counter clockwise. If the particle would be negatively charged or the magnetic field would point upwards the image would be correct.
- You are right! Thanks for hinting! I reversed the direction of the magentic field. MikeRun (talk) 10:37, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Copyright in Youtube-Videos
editHi MikeRun, i am a german youtuber who makes learning-videos on youtube. I have seen your work and i like it a lot. My question is, can i use your graphics for my thumbnails of my youtube-videos? I have done a lot of research regarding copyrights, which says that it should be allowed to do if i put your name and the titles and links to your work and the licenses in the video-description. But to be a hundret percent sure, i wanted to ask you if that is OK. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2003:ED:7F17:FBC6:5C7F:48AD:85AB:1CB0 (talk) 17:05, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, thats OK! Please be so kind and post a link of one of your videos here, since I am curious about it MikeRun (talk) 09:19, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
Sure, this is a recent video with one of your graphics in the thumbnail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGRQ0j8BeWQ — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2003:ED:7F01:2F36:4441:2A9F:724A:3F99 (talk) 17:45, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your "Einstein triangle" for the energy-momentum relation, it's a really cool way to display the equation and I'm using it in my highschool thesis! Wish me good luck, I really need it! Hahah, have a nice day! From Italy

Thanks for uploading File:Leibniz-newton.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
