Earth's absorption and radiation

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 4 Oct 2022 at 16:07:42 (UTC)

Incoming energy absorbed by earth and its atmosphere: Top-of-atmosphere (TOA) shortwave flux radiation, shows energy (in watts per square metre) received from the Sun as inferred from CERES measurements (26–27 January 2012). Brightest white areas show the highest reflectivity (least absorption) of solar energy, while darkest blue areas show the greatest absorption.

Outgoing energy radiated by earth and its atmosphere: Top-of-atmosphere (TOA) longwave flux radiation (26–27 January 2012). Heat energy radiated from Earth (in watts per square metre) is shown in shades of yellow, red, blue and white. The brightest-yellow areas are the hottest and are emitting the most energy out to space, while the dark blue areas and the bright white clouds are much colder, emitting the least energy.

Reason: This set of videos shows a snapshot of the energy absorbed (incoming, blue image) and the energy radiated (outgoing, red image) by the earth and its atmosphere. The data includes transient atmospheric effects (cloud contributions). The data was collected over a two day period in January 2012. This set is informative in the two articles and helps explain the subject. If this nom gets a few supports, I will convert the video formats to WebM (which is preferred to ogv).

One can't help but feel that using different colour scales for things meant to be compared, and the inability to watch them next to each other, makes this an awkward set. A simple map projection - ideally without the missing information in the top image - would allow easy comparison. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs} 13:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't a simple comparison, their physics are different. The incoming is shortwave radiation (blue, as in optics) and the outgoing is longwave (red, as in optics). The outgoing includes energy storage effects, but the incoming has no such thing. The outgoing relates to heat on Earth (red being a natural choice), and the incoming related to input from outer space (blue being Earth's natural color from outer space). Yes a map would be easier to look at. However, the incoming video conveys a spatial relation between the energy source (the Sun) and the revolving of Earth (useful for novice readers). There is an advantage in either type of illustration. The missing data on the incoming video is unfortunate, but this isn't an everyday type of measurement, IMO it's good enough.

Oppose It's a photo of a river and a couple of bridges, so I'm not seeing particularly strong EV for this topic. Yes it's notable that the German-Polish border is now undefended and trivial for most people to cross, but there has to be a better way to illustrate this topic than this photo (a photo of a sign marking the border at the side of a highway would get the message across more effectively, for instance).

I kind of have to agree. It's only a tiny bit of the map, in the end, and there's not really much text saying why this is an important part of the border (if it is). I could see it as part of a gallery/set, but it's hard to understand why specifically this one. I also fully get why it passed Commons, where the usage wouldn't be judged so much.

Poster for A Sensation Novel

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 10 Oct 2022 at 02:57:07 (UTC)

Original – Poster for W. S. Gilbert and Thomas German Reed's A Sensation Novel, a one-act opera about characters from a terrible "sensation novel" (think something like The Perils of Pauline) coming to life at the end of each volume, and eventually forcing the author to end things as they want, hence the dramatic book cover. From the première production which began 31 January 1871.

Reason: There's maybe one or two more Royal Gallery of Illustration operettas of note that posters are available for,^[1] but this is to some extent the end of the set. This one is for a work by W. S. Gilbert and Thomas German Reed which is still revived occasionally; indeed, I actually performed in it back in 2017 or so. The poster gets reproduced in Gilbert biographies a lot as well, and the plot is rather fun, albeit with a couple bits we decided to cut as they hadn't aged well.
By the by, if this passes, ~~and the Iolanthe one lower down this page does too~~Passed., by my count this'll be 599 FPs. I'm planning a more labour-intensive one for #600. (I also have one backup prepared for if Iolanthe doesn't pass, because I plan these things way too much.)

^ Balfe's The Sleeping Queen gets occasional performances still, and Tom Taylor's The Family Legend is at least discussed in books I've read (mainly for having inspired Ages Ago and thus Ruddigore, but, y'know. That might be as much because a lot of the books I read about it in were specifically on W. S. Gilbert, who I helped raise to Featured Article well enough that I don't think it's ever been challenged.) But I digress.

Oppose Aside from this not being a particularly great photo (in itself not a disqualifying issue for a Wikipedia FP), I don't think it illustrates the topic well as it depicts a devastating disaster that no business could survive. The 'Waffle House Index' is largely a reference to the chain's reputation for staying open or quickly reopening in the face of natural disasters, so an photo showing a Waffle House open despite destruction around it would better illustrate the topic.

I wouldn't hold that against the photograph though, because it shows she is alive and human, unlike every object in the shop. FP on Commons.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 17 Oct 2022 at 04:23:51 (UTC)

Original – Scenes and characters from the 1904 benefit performance of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, with the author, W. S. Gilbert, as Claudius, and a host of other famous playwrights and writers (hence some of the secondary usages).

Reason: And, while we're at it, a stunning chioscuro artwork - I've probably misspelt that - which shows how art was designed for woodblock engraving, as well as being a stunning image for an interesting play. It's a very good parody of Hamlet where Claudius' crime is much less (he wrote a really terrible play), so the plot focuses more on how annoying it is having Hamlet running about soliliquising all the time, and no-one dies.

Comment This one-off charity performance should not define the play (i.e the article). Interesting of course, but not so much EV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:52, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Charlesjsharp: Given the show's history - its early history was largely defined by benefit performances, save for a single run, and the first performance was a benefit performance - I think it's not atypical, and it gets the mood and spirit of the show quite well in the middle illustration of the dénouement. It's also not a show with a lot of illustration options. It's possible I could find some of the 1891 benefit or the 1892 short run, but whether they'd be particularly worthwhile is hard to say. Known drawings do not bode well (Though I'm pretty sure that's Hamlet's speech to the players, which is at least a significant moment; mind, the current suggestion is the performance itself that the play centres around.)

Quadrupole ion trap

I think it's somewhat important to ask: Is the green light functional in some way? Because the ion trap works with rapidly changing electrical fields. If the light's part of the device, then of course I'd support. If it's just being used to make it look "science-y", though, I can't. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.1% of all FPs} 05:18, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neither. It's not part of the electric field (which is radio frequency per article, and invisible), and it's not there to make it science-y. It's there (perhaps at both ends) to illuminate the trap space and the trapped particles, to make them visible. The particles are almost microscopic. That's what the device is designed for, ionized/charged particles, i.e. very small. It will be hard to see much there with room lighting, camera flash and such.

There appears to be pretty significant subject motion blur on the trapped grains, but I think that serves an encyclopedic purpose, to show their motion within the trap rather than conveying the impression that it freezes everything in place. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:51, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Good idea, but the tight bottom crop is a problem. There are better images out there [1], but their copyright may be a problem. Bammesk (talk) 14:25, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[1] Balfe's The Sleeping Queen gets occasional performances still, and Tom Taylor's The Family Legend is at least discussed in books I've read (mainly for having inspired Ages Ago and thus Ruddigore, but, y'know. That might be as much because a lot of the books I read about it in were specifically on W. S. Gilbert, who I helped raise to Featured Article well enough that I don't think it's ever been challenged.) But I digress.
