•  Oppose -- Good, it passes W3C Validation, but the text have been converted to paths and that will make localisation hard (See Commons:SVG). Image should also be included somewhere in the Category:SVG tree. My main reason for opposing though is that there is no WOW factor and only limited educational value here. It is a relatively simple rendering of a relatively well known object. --NJR_ZA (talk) 13:25, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

•  Info I tried to fit the SVG-citeria of WP, which suggest to convert al texts to paths. Although I see the benefits plain text has for auto translation, I doubt that it leads to the same typographic quality. For legibility reasons I aligned the texts and lines, which might be doomed during auto translation, due to the different text lengths. Also there are sligtht differences in structure and names between the languages. That's why I prefer a manual translations, like this:

• 
  German original
• 
  Manually translated englisch version

Plus the image is already included in the Category:SVG tree and I don't consider its educational value to be limited. What else could this image do, but demonstrating the basic structural elements and terminology of a harp?! --Martin Kraft (talk) 09:49, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I included it in the SVG tree after writing my comment. I think it would be more valuable if it was more detailed, with tuning pins, bridge pins, sharping levers included. As I said, not a bad SVG, but personally I just don't think it is FP material. --NJR_ZA (talk) 11:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

The tuning pins are already labelled. But this pins, the bridge pins and sharping levers are so tiny and so close to each other, that it might be hard to keep them appart, if they were all illustrated and labelled in an illustration of this size. IMHO the tuning mechanic of an harp is so komplex and divers, that it's better to illustrate it with another close up garphic or (as in german Wikipedia) a series of photographs. --Martin Kraft (talk) 15:10, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
