Review
(criteria)
  •  Oppose The scope is too broad for the subject. The photo shows a consequence of gravitation, the kinetics of an object in a uniform gravitational field, but does not illustrate the concept of gravitation itself. With a scope of Falling body, it would clearly qualify. -- Hk kng 11:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree regarding the scope. The image could just as well illustrate constant acceleration from whatever source field. Actually from the image alone it could be the camera which accelerated - the wonders of relativism. Or, if the ball was charged and placed between large capacitor plates (forming a unifrm electric field) in free space you would have the same type of motion. Ready to reconsider with another scope, cuz' the image is good. -- Slaunger (talk) 18:18, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
