Normalization, see Category:BJT transistor symbols Zedh 16:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? What? // Liftarn
Normalization? — Omegatron 19:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So you are going to delete everyone else's transistor symbols because you think your own are superior? — Omegatron 20:13, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that's the case. But my though was to have uniformization for symbols between all the wiki pages. There are normalizations (IEEE/ANSI 315, EN/IEC 60617) for electrical symbols, and someone has done a very good job by trying to normalize SVG electrical schematics : Image:Electrical symbols library.svg. My thought was that it is a shame to use so much different images to present the same component. But it was only a test, I have done only two libraries (Categroy:BJT transistor symbols and Category:JFET transistor symbols). I wait for your comments. --Zedh 21:04, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The standard ones can go in 1 category and the nonstandard in another. --Simonxag 00:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Why can't editors choose which ones they want to use in articles?
  2. Several times I've seen my crappy PNGs be deleted, but only the BJTs, for instance. Replacing them with SVGs is good, but not when they are used in conjunction with FETs of a different style. Any such effort would need to create all the symbols, including all the different variants of MOSFETs, with and without labels, etc. (Unless the unlabeled ones are really not used anywhere). — Omegatron 05:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm ok with Simonxag to keep a non standard category, but I must precise that all the images requested for deletion are not used in any wikipedia (I have done a check usage for each of them). The massively used images (Image:BJT_symbol_NPN.svg - 69 occ., Image:BJT_symbol_PNP.svg - 55 occ., Image:JFET_symbol_N.png - 21 occ., Image:JFET_symbol_P.png - 20 occ., Image:JFET_N-Channel_Labelled.svg - 16 occ., Image:JFET_P-Channel_Labelled.svg - 17 occ.) have NOT been requested for deletion. --Zedh 00:14, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more careful, Zedh. I specifically created Image:BJT PNP symbol.svg so that it would be the same style as Image:IGFET N-Ch Dep Labelled.svg, so that they could be used together in articles and look the same, such as w:Transistor#Types. It even says so in the image description, but you overwrote it with your own version in a completely different style, so that it does not match the others in the tables. This is what I meant by #2 above. If you're going to replace some transistor symbols, you need to replace all transistor symbols, including all the different variations of MOSFETs and so on. Then everyone else needs to agree that your style is better than the others.  :-) — Omegatron 00:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. It seems that all is a "little" more complex than expected :$ --Zedh 20:04, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: No consensus on symbol normalization, I see no need for this, too. Also, superseded files will not be deleted. --GeorgHH • talk   22:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
