Hey I have noticed that a lot of questions lately have been getting downvotes without any explanation as to why. Consider giving some kind of feedback, otherwise how can OP fix whatever you are dissatisfied with?

I've noticed that too. I actually upvoted this one, but with some reservations. It's a reasonable question, and we should encourage more of them. On the other hand, it was not well asked due to the lazy ASCII art. The OP should have properly cropped and sized a section of the schematic and called out the part designator or circled it or something.

We could have a more detailed discussion about downvotes in general on Meta.
