Stereo viewing[edit]

You can always add your proposed text to the article's talk page and ask for comments there. OTOH, don't feel timid about adding text to the article itself, but be prepared to face reverts if there's not enough consensus/support for what you wrote. No hard feelings are implied by a revert. Best of luck, --Janke | Talk 17:06, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stereo experiments in the 1970s and 90s[edit]

You might want to take a look at my old 3D webpage: http://www.sparetimelabs.com/animato/animato/3d/3d2.html Best regards, --Janke | Talk 16:07, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Janke: Many thanks for this kindly provided and highly interesting link to your web page and the accompanying gallery.
I really like the miniature cross-eye viewing samples, the steam engine, and especially the "Louis Marx and Company" railroad set.
I spent the forenoon rumaging through numerous Wikipedia regulation pages. This afternoon I was mostly outside in the garden enjoying a splendid sunny day. In the late afternoon the wind completely calmed down and I was able to take my very first outside stereo AND focus stacked image, consisting of 2x30 images. I have already processed both stacks, which turned out almost perfect, only slight retouching required. Tomorrow I'll arrange the stereo pairs (cross-eye and parallel) and upload them to Wiki commons soon.
I need a day or two to sort things out before delving into Wikipedia edits.
Thanks again for your advice. I'd very much like to keep in contact. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 21:00, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"I spent the forenoon rumaging through numerous Wikipedia regulation pages." One of the Wiki rules is that there are no firm rules, see: [[1]]. Be bold! Don't take reversions personally (remember that not all wikipedians are as nice and considerate as you are). Consensus prevails. Happy editing! --Janke | Talk 13:03, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Vitascope[edit]

Hey! I've added a restoration, and also pointed out the text on the image that shows the movies were in colour. Could you have another look? Cheers! I know you liked the damaged paper, I'm afraid that didn't survive me, since I like to produce the best possible copy when things were mass-printed.

Pixel shift (contra burn-in) moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Pixel shift (contra burn-in), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... discospinster _talk 23:57, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2021-11-01. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!

Stereoscopy is a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by means of stereopsis for binocular vision. This image of two Passiflora caerulea flowers is arranged as a stereo image pair; it can be viewed stereoscopically by using the cross-eyed viewing method (parallel version here).

Hi Ozzie10aaaa!

I definitely hadn't reckoned with a such a rapid reply ... and, immediately on foot, the subsequent creation of this article.

MANY THANX!

I see that the newly created article was processed in 3 steps:

- first a draft-to-creation bot (which picked out most, but not all typographical errors and erraneous formatting),

- then an intervention by another user,

- finally your improvements.

Thank you again for your effort!!

I will now recheck all links and references and facts in the Infobox to verify that they are correct.

Albeit a slightly tedious work, I'll also attempt to transfer some of the now extended range of Infobox facts to the corresponding Wikidata article.

And, of course, my next attempt at an article will be a similar description of one (or more) of the 3 Fujinon lenses recently introduced on the same occasion as the Fujifilm GFX100 II camera. The corresponding Wikidata articles already exist. Franz van Duns (talk) 17:05, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
