That was a really impressive animation! My mind reels when trying to think about drawing and making the frames so that they work together and move so smoothly. -- carol 13:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much. I used Adobe ImageReady, which makes the process fairly easy. There's probably some free programs that can do a similar task. Jeff Dahl 00:12, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GIMP Animation Plugin could do this -- it is where my appreciation for the maths starts though. I became very used to carrying those books around with me -- for the reference. And, I am contradicting myself here because I said very often that the reason I liked physics was that everything started with f=ma so it was easy for the memory.

I am surprised that if a software makes the process so easy that more people aren't making such impressive animations. Perhaps you are not giving your part in the making enough acknowlegement? -- carol 01:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I saw you created nice Zimbabwe flag-map. Can you please tell me how to do such a flag-map? This kind of pics is still missing for many countries and I would like to create some. Thanks. - Darwinek 12:22, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply on your page. Jeff Dahl 19:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for help. However, I would probably need some further assistance for the first time. I imported svg map, how will I trace the outline ? - Darwinek 20:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hello there Jeff Dahl,

needless to say probably that your svg images of Egyptian deities blow my mind, very cool. Do you plan on doing maybe Apis or Image:Amun and Mut.svg seated etc. one day as well? Also Nut is missing, the starry sky. thanks alot and keep up your good work. sincerely Gryffindor 10:52, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much. As for Apis, I haven't seen a suitable 2D drawing to base it on. All the drawings are based on the best available 2D pictures/drawings from the New Kingdom temples and tombs, which are at the peak of refinement. I haven't come across a suitable one for Apis yet, but if you have one please point me in that direction. As for the seated Amun and mut, I could give it a try, but I haven't yet done a standard seated man or woman yet. As for Nut, I haven't decided quite how I want to do that one as yet, but I think the New Kingdom tombs should have a good model to work from. Please let me know any others that are missing, as I want to have thorough coverage of every deity. Thanks again! Jeff Dahl 13:28, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For Apis how about you use the image of Hathor as cow Image:Hathor cow.svg? I am also confused about some colourings used, such as Image:Sekhmet.svg with a green face? I thought she was a lion, aren't they yellow or something in that direction? Are there various versions of depiction? Bes would also be good, although maybe a black&white version would suffice, how about from this one Image:Louvres-antiquites-egyptiennes-img 2884.jpg. cheers Gryffindor 12:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I noticed that you have created some Chinese flags for Commons. Right now, I'm working on a article on Shanghai at Swedish Wikipedia, and it struck me that perhaps we might need a Commons version for the Shanghai International settlement. I don't know how to create this, but I wonder if you might be willing to do it? I have pasted two links below for reference:

Thanks!--Bothnia (talk) 23:56, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I can try to take a look at it. Jeff Dahl (talk) 13:38, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great!--Bothnia (talk) 01:03, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The flag has already been taken care of by User:Lokal Profil, so there's no need to worry about it anymore. Thanks anyway!--Bothnia (talk) 15:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!

Hello Jeff, I have used your map Image:Ancient_Egypt_map.svg to illustrate an article about the Pharaoh's canal (the ancient precursor to the Suez Canal). I did modify your original work for that purpose, it's been uploaded to Image:Pharaoh's_canal.svg. Let me know should there be any problem. Thank you in advance ;) --RedTony (⇨ ✉) 15:15, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff - I am facsinated by your portrayals of Egyptian Gods. I am prepping a game based on the Gods of Egypt and would like to use your artwork, but I need to be able to alter some of them and there are a number I require that you have not created. I have not been able to find a way to contact you and hope that you can contact me. I am easily found on BOARDGAMEGEEK as YOUR BUDDY CHESTER. Or you can email me directly at cehendrix<at>sbcglobal.net. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. I have 69 of the different Gods that appear in the game and would love to use your basic style as the benchmark.

Hello! I was just looking at File:Snellen chart.svg, and noticed the source says it is in the public domain, yet the description page puts copyrights on it. We don't copyright public domain images, so I wanted you to clarify that. Thanks. :) TheAE talk 04:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here is my understanding of the situation: In general, works based on, inspired by, or incorporating PD materials can attract copyright status in many situations. In this case, I used the PD image as a basis for the vector redrawing. The redrawing in vector form is more than just mechanical copying, since the svg file now has vector coordinates. Strictly speaking, it could be argued that my redrawing is copyrightable. But don't get me wrong, I have no intention of restricting use of the file in any way, I just used my default dual-license upload tags. Jeff Dahl (talk) 17:01, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
