want to use, which would make something like the Inkscape basic tutorial more useful. As with all graphics there is a learning curve that is both technical (learning to use the tools) and conceptual--thinking in terms of vector graphics is different than bitmap graphics, in terms of thinking about how to compose an image)--but I'm sure if you jumped into it you would be able to figure it out (it is not as hard as the Teller-Ulam design). What I like about Inkscape as opposed to other vector tools (like Illustrator), is that it is easy to do things that are very symmetrical and regular in it, which works best for diagrams. I usually start with a primitive shape, like a circle or square, and deform it to fit whatever I want it to be (so a cylinder is really two ovals with a rectangle in between, with the edges removed). Good luck. --

3472:, who came up with the British two-stage thermonuclear design. Not knowing how the Teller-Ulam worked (but like you, possibly having a few clues) he came up with a two-stage "peanut" design with a spherical secondary. We know that this design was successfully tested in Grapple Y in April 1958, and was shown to the Americans the year before. We also know that the LASL had developed a similar design, and that all thermonuclear designs from 1958 on used spherical secondaries. It seems that this was what convinced the Americans that the British actually had some knowledge worth sharing, thereby restoring full cooperation. I'm still uncertain about how this works, particularly how you prevent an uneven compression. Let me know if you have a clearer notion. Also, I've created a Manhattan Project article called 1644:

keys, non-standard GUI), but like most other things, you get used to it pretty quickly if you use it often. I disagree that doing anything other than trivial replacements (colors, text, fonts) is easier to do in a text editor than a program with a half-decent GUI. Actually manipulating shapes and positions by just modifying numerical values seems to me to be quite a difficult task in most instances. I think learning how to use the GUI tools would be in most cases less work, and more liberating, than trying to learn how to do it by just specifying lines of code. None of this is meant to imply that Inkscape itself doesn't still have room for improvement (its font menu is horrible, its custom filters are pointless). But different strokes (ha) for different folks.

1348:, who wrote more about nuclear weapons in the 1940s and 1950s than anybody else, had the photograph on his dining room wall, 3 ft wide. He pointed to the black rectangle and told me, "That's the battleship Arkansas standing on its nose." He thought it was an important part of the story. Schurcliff, the official historian, never said it didn't happen. He said it might not have happened, despite widespread belief that it did. He said further examination would be needed, but that further examination seems to still be classified, 63 years later. In the meantime, somebody declassified the video that to me, and to Jim Delgado, shows what happened. 3731: 144:

official place extant in modern times. Although a place labelled "Palestine" did exist at some times over the past however many years, it does not exist now. Should the map be entitled "Palestine: a future look at what might constitute a Palestinian homeland" or something of this nature, I could have nothing to argue. If your point is to reinclude this map into the article, a title such as this would posit no declaration of official status yet allow you/the article to exhibit the occupied territories as a free and independant entity entirely divorced from Israel.

That's because if the only person reverting him/her is me, then admins may not look at the issue closely and just think that there's a one-on-one edit war and block both parties. If they see several editors reverting one, they will get a better idea of community sentiment regarding what's going on. Of course, if you don't want to get involved to that extent, that's okay too ;-) 661: 2284: 743: 672: 3185: 221:

2950: 1596:. A SVG file is text and can be edited with a normal text editor. SVG output from draw programs like Inkscape is harder to work with manually - they make no effort to be concise or to label SVG constructs with identifiable names - but nevertheless I've had to do this as Inkscape-created .svg files are most of the SVG images available. I've learned the SVG constructs by just googling "svg path" or whatever as I've encountered them. -- 4578:, that led to the state you have modified. This is not necessarily an argument against your change, as you may well have noticed an issue that others have not, but it is more likely that you have just made an edit against a wide consensus.

Let me know if this answers your questions. 694: 3878: 4141:. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Knowledge (XXG).

It was the flow elements; your upload 2 minutes before mine also seems to have fixed it, but MediaWiki didn't warn me about the upload conflict.

OK, thanks. I see what you mean. It is an easy fix and I will make it soon. The good thing about SVG is that it lets you edit it very easily (it is stored as vector information, not bitmap information—line drawings, not photographs), and it can be resized perfectly to arbitrary sizes (you could print

We seem to be talking not about my map but about the concept of Palestine.

I have reverted your change. The change you made actually created the problem you cite. The change I made, before you reverted it, was merely to make the text match the title, so everything now says "Čunovo Water Sports Centre" and not "Water Sports Centre Čunovo," which is what you say you want.

I've updated it. It was a little trickier than I had thought it would be, because I guess I drew the original one in Adobe Ilustrator and then later converted it to SVG, and that did some weird things.

His suggested subtitle is clearly too many words for a map, but I note that some of the nuance he/she wanted was in the text you removed. Perhaps we could discuss restoring some of the text. Could you explain, in detail, your reasons for removing each of the phrases? Do you dispute the facts, the

Thank you for your reply. Since your main complaint seems to be with the title of my map, "Palestine: West Bank and Gaza," I was planning to ask what title you might find acceptable. However, your reply seems to find fault with "this article and its associated maps" for "pushing a political agenda

Looking at the source, I find flowRoot elements which means you are using flowed text, which is not compatible with the SVG renderer.

I don't know where is the best place to pursue this discussion, so I will try here. As to whether the upending of the Arkansas is essential to the story, I would hate to take it out. The purpose of conducting the Crossroads tests was to see what damage nuclear bombs would inflict on naval warships.

If that's in fact a ship upended like that, I have a hard time believing that it didn't sink immediately after. The Saratoga was afloat for a while after the test. Ships are strong in some ways, but the amount of energy required to lift one up on its bow like that, and the resultant impacts as it

After an exchange on our user talk pages, see User_Talk:HowardMorland|Palestine Map (exchange with DRosenbach), we have established that his only objection to the map was the word "Palestine" as the title. (On the same day, April 16, he also removed that word from two other parts of the article.)

On April 11, 2007, I added three paragraphs and a map to the Knowledge (XXG) article on Palestine. There was clearly a hole in the story. The Current Status subsection of the History section had ended in the mid 1960s, before the Six Day War of 1967. With carefully chosen words, I attempted a

I did not immediately object, because the text you removed was mostly a restatement of information contained in the map, which you did not remove. (I am pleased to see that, three weeks later, no further changes have been made to the text.) Then on April 16, DRosenbach removed the map with the

Now, you assert that maps need not be of actual places. True...but the map stated that its explicit depiction was that of Palestine. Although it did not make any assertion to the "State of" or "National Sovereign Land of" or "Country of," the implication of a map is that the map refers to an
