Images make Wikipedia more informative, accessible, and professional.

In general, when working with images:
DO:
Review the image style guide and use policy.
Give context with captions and alt text.
Try to find at least one image for each article.
Find free images, or create and upload your own.
Clean up images: crop, color-correct, etc.
Use the best file format for each image.
Use objects for scale where helpful.
Place images in the section to which they are related
DON'T:
Don't upload non-free images.
Don't use images in place of tables or charts.
Don't use images or galleries excessively.
Don't add images that are not relevant.
Don't flip faces, text, or works of art.
Don't set fixed image sizes.
Don't sandwich text between two images.
Don't refer to images by their placement.
Don't place images too early or at the end of sections.

    Excel .xlsx spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for .SVG graphics

    Click at right to show/hide User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG, etc
    General concept above; examples below.
    Warming stripes
    (five examples compared)
    Warming stripes bar chart
    Bar chart (vertical)
    Pie chart
    Line charts
    Scatterplot

    I've uploaded .xlsx (Microsoft Excel) spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for charts in SVG format.

    You simply paste or enter your data into the spreadsheet, and specify image dimensions, number of grid lines, font sizes, etc. The spreadsheet instantly and automatically generates a column of XML code that you simply copy and paste into a text editor and save as an ".svg" file. The spreadsheets produce lean SVG code, avoiding the "extra stuff" that Inkscape inserts. They should save you time in creating SVG charts.

    Feedback and suggestions on my talk page are welcome. RCraig09 (talk) 23:41, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Click HOW TO for detailed explanation.
    Click HERE (else HERE) to download the spreadsheets.
    1. 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.
    2. 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)
    3. Line charts — Accepts up to six datasets. (updated 30 August 2023)
    4. 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)
    5. 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)
    6. Scatter plots — Accepts up to five datasets. (updated 28 August 2023)
    7. Pie charts — Accepts a single dataset of up to 36 items. (updated 17 May 2023)
    8. 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:
    • 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.
    • To download the spreadsheet, go to User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG.
    • Don't try to edit inside this colored box; make any comments about the spreadsheets or graphics at User talk:RCraig09RCraig09 (talk) 20:43, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Sorry for trying to be helpful. Can you fill me in on why naming that particular musician is spam-like? I see zero other occurrences on the page. Your reference to the section title is only further mystifying, as if anything the current title is an argument in favor of providing clear attribution of the work. -- Andrew (talk) 16:42, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello, Andrew. All elements in /* Inclusions in film, television and events */ list only the name of the film, TV program, or event—and not the particular artist. The section has to do with inclusions of the song and not of the artists, the article being about the song. Listing artists would serve to clutter the section. My edit was not a personal attack or denigration of Downie. —RCraig09 (talk) 19:12, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Surely you could just communicate that editorial preference instead of cryptically accusing me of spamming? I look at the revisions to my contributions because I’m new and want to learn from them. What was I supposed to get from that? I’d been warned that the Wikipedia community is toxic and thus far it’s succeeding in living up to its reputation. -- Andrew (talk) 19:45, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Andrew Kvalheim: I wasn't accusing you, personally, of "spamming": my edit comment referred to what was in context a "spam-like recitation"—which you took personally. It was not a "cryptic" personal attack, and I hope you will see that most experienced editors talk about edits and not about editors. Separately: reducing clutter and conforming to existing formats and conventions within articles, are not my own "editorial preference" (I've yet to meet another editor who's been in favor of further clutter). "Toxic" editors usually don't stay for long. —RCraig09 (talk) 20:17, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    The Atmospheric Transmission image caption

    I just copied the diagram and caption from the greenhouse gas article, so you may want to update the caption there too. Efbrazil (talk) 18:34, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Bowling picture

    I understand you think the picture doesn't add encyclopedic content to the "Bowling" page - though I do - but to mark it as vandalism is a bit extreme. FYI, there is no picture of 1) the actual pins, 2) their setup or 3) pin to ball size ratio in a regular court; that's the picture's "addition to encyclopedic" content. You don't agree, that's fine, this is not a hill worth dying on, I'll not revert it. But be a bit more cautious in the future with the "vandalism" label. Some of us fight hard against vandalism. Cheers. WikiUser70176 (talk) 21:53, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Sorry, @WikiUser70176:, but I clicked on "undo" and not on anything related to vandalism. Further, pin-to-ball-size is already shown in File:20190107 Bowling balls and pins.png, in File:20181230 Bowling ball at board 17.5 with pins.png, in the two videos above where you inserted your red-ball picture, and also in the more specific Ten-pin bowling article. That is why I said the red-ball picture didn't add any encyclopedic content. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding. —RCraig09 (talk) 01:28, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you so much for he clarification. I appreciate your nice tone. The "vandalism" label appears to me when I click on the two versions. It's bold and red. Maybe it appears only to me? In any event, I'm ok with the picture not being on the page, the videos show what it needs to be shown. Have a good week!WikiUser70176 (talk) 11:37, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
