Suggestion: add color code information to caption

hi; I suggest that your nice map of QZ8501 flight path with satellite imagery would be even more useful if you added to the caption a definition of the meaning of the color coding. For example, what type of image is it? Infra-red? Or some other weather observable? Ideally, it would be nice to have a color-side-bar indicating the numerical value for each color of whatever is represented. thanks! Layzeeboi (talk) 18:31, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Could you please provide a source link for the claimed NOAA data? --Matthiasb (talk) 22:47, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi and thank you for the work, but it is hard to believe that you are not playing hide-and-seek ... so please state your link here.

Please state the true URL where you got the image from. --Itu (talk) 06:28, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

I got it actually from Twitter, via James Reynolds' Twitter account (link here), I asked him if he has the original image but unfortunately he only has the cropped version. But I believe this imagery comes from NOAA, then.

I also uploaded the copy of it on Commons, anyway it must be in public domain, and mixed it up with the Flight Path image, cropping some of it and enlarged it to fit to the image and removing the background using Photoshop. Anyway, if I could help myself I hope I could find that image in the NOAA archives then.

(Amended) I have also included the url to the NOAA Satimg upload. Chitetskoy (talk) 14:09, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

OK, thank you so far. But just believing it is from NOAA is a bit poor. --Itu (talk) 23:03, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

More wild guessing?!? --Itu (talk) 02:19, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm 95% certain that it comes from NOAA. But please take me some time to verify it. Chitetskoy (talk) 04:36, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I confirmed it comes from NOAA. Chitetskoy (talk) 02:26, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

WHO confirms? Could we still get an URL? --Itu (talk) 07:18, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

James Reynolds himself (the owner of that Twitter account). Unfortuately as of now that is the ONLY source of that NOAA image over the Internet (please see here and here), and I cannot find it anywhere even in the NOAA website. If I or someone could find some "more appropriate" URL, if this URL cannot be accepted here in Commons. Chitetskoy (talk) 13:27, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Its not about not-acceptance. Its just that we always would like to have information that points as close as possible to the original source. regards. --Itu (talk) 21:32, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
