DYK for Seasonal hyperacute panuveitis

[edit]

On 2 December 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Seasonal hyperacute panuveitis, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that white moths are suspected to cause seasonal hyperacute panuveitis in Nepal? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Seasonal hyperacute panuveitis. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Seasonal hyperacute panuveitis), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

There must be a difference on our systems

[edit]

On my system, I was SHRINKING the lead photo, by a significant amount, at Penis with both edits. Were my edits making it larger on yours? Very odd. Frankly, your reducing it a further 20px wasn't much of a change but I'm fine with it. Must have been a system difference though, since every time you said I was enlarging it, it was shrinking on my copy. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:10, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On my browser (Chrome) it was definitely larger. The 20px reduction put it in the same width of the infobox. What is your system? We could share screenshots and, if there is actually a difference in rendering, ask what is going on technically. cyclopiaspeak! 16:15, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, that's interesting. I'm using Edge Chromium so wouldn't have expected much of a difference. I'll do a test revert so I can capture a screenshot, hang on. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:17, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to revert, just use the history. cyclopiaspeak! 16:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here you can find the difference. cyclopiaspeak! 16:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah thanks! I wasn't actually going to revert; I was just capturing screenshots from the previews. That's handy, thanks. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:22, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Available here https://easyupload.io/2vm2ly. I suspect the "original" image (with no width specified, last image) was at a 495px width as that's the preview size. Current version of Edge is 130.0.2849.80 64-bit. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:28, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand. On your file, it is clear that your 440px edit is clearly larger, exactly as I saw. cyclopiaspeak! 16:37, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah no sorry, missed the last page! Ok that's indeed different from my case, and weird. I wonder if it is also because I use another skin (Monobook)? cyclopiaspeak! 16:38, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, that could be...I'm still using Vector Legacy. Maybe that's the difference? Eh, regardless, it's resolved now! Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The skin seems to make no difference. Firefox on my system (Ubuntu Linux) shows the original image in this edit small as well. cyclopiaspeak! 16:42, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, then that IS weird. Maybe something particular to Edge Chromium or my specific setup? I checked the image differences on my iPhone (Safari) and the 440px and no-width images appeared the same there also. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:45, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just tried Chrome on my system; 440px and no-width are the same size there too. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:46, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's Edge. The images I posted were on my work computer; when I switch to my personal, 440px and no-width appear the same there also. The work laptop is used heavily for graphics editing and publications, so perhaps there's some atypical default setting that's mucking with the browser? I'll have to do more exploration.

FYI

[edit]

Tardigrade is going through GAN now. I'm responding to the reviewer's comments. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd better add (not sure if you saw the above, maybe not) that the concern is that the text has drifted from the cited sources. Over the years a very large number of sources of variable quality have been added, and many parts of the text have been edited at random so that it is close to impossible to see what text came from which source, if indeed some of it wasn't WP:OR. Anyway, I am now in the process not just of GAN but of fixing the OR/years of editing/wobbly source issue in the middle of the review, so it'd be much appreciated if you could hold off for now. After the review we can of course discuss further improvements. Many thanks! All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:25, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, sorry! cyclopiaspeak! 15:32, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gosh, that was a sharp intervention in the GAN. I've replied there, but in future it'd really be appreciated if you'd have discussions like that on my (or your) talk page as it's less likely to disrupt the GAN. Reviewers are hard to find, the GAN queue is long (often many months), and the last thing one wants is to have to start over. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:49, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the concern, but I believe -for transparency and consistency- that discussions about article content belong to the article talk page, and given that your recent substantial edits were related to the GAN process, I felt the discussion belonged there. After all, we have no deadline. Thanks! cyclopiaspeak! 22:00, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
