  •  Oppose Very nice, big fan of your work. However, a multilingual version should be nominated. ZooFari 02:25, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Well done image --George Chernilevsky talk 10:46, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Excellent work! Multilingual version is not a must for FP criteria. In this case I prefer the annotated version to the numbered version which is rather complicated to read due to the large number of annotations. -- Dr. Schorsch (talk) 10:49, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Excellent, but it might be possible to improve it even further. Some minor points or observations suggested as constructive criticism mainly for overall consistency within the illustration: I wonder if it is worth writing "Cercus" on the right and putting a pointing line to it, and also to indicate what I to VII are perhaps by putting "Abdomen (segments I to VII)" on the right: The green at the top goes beyond the head and the blue of the abdomen stops at the end of the abdomen: I think that I would have put "Head", "Thorax", and "Abdomen" in the middle or the top of the coloured (or bracketed) bands: I might have extended the space available on the left and right for more room for the writing and added coloured (or bracketed) bands for the wing and leg (on the left): I am not sure why the existing coloured bands extend over the mid-line and why the middle band goes further to the left: The coloured band might not be needed if elongated brackets ("}"s) were used to indicate the head, thorax, and abdomen regions instead of colours. --Snowmanradio (talk) 11:54, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Info- i moved "cersus" and placed some text and line for the abdominal segments. i also increased the space on the bottom for the blue "bar". I can not give the wing a colored bar becouse wings are not perse segments of the body but instead belong to the Thorax. In a sence that is why the yellow bar extends a bit more than the other two. same goes for the legs. Colored bands may not be needed to divide the segments of the body but they look good :P. plus there is already a style line on insects diagrams that started with the ant i made some years ago. it would seem it has spreaded arround and i dont see any reason not to continue with it :) as examples for it are (the butterfly,heteroptera,grasshoper,housefly, between others ( none of this are mine)) -LadyofHats (talk) 16:08, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment That seems to be an improvement to me, because of enhanced consistency. I did not know about the colour bands in the other images. I would not have realized that the extended middle band was indicating that the wings are part of the thorax. Snowmanradio (talk) 19:11, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment Culex pipiens is the correct way of writing the binomial name of the species. The first word is capitalised and the second word is all lower case, and both words are in italics. The capitalization in the image will need correcting. Perhaps the binomial name could be written a bit larger, and perhaps in a more central position somewhere. Snowmanradio (talk) 19:26, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        •  Info i fixed the name, but i leave it in the same place since i have my doubths about having it on the picture at all. the idea was to make a diagram of a "generic" mosquito. unfortunaly i realised there are main diferences between the diferent species that go beyond of the color or size. specially between the anopheles and the culex. that is why i placed the name of my model to be on the safe side -LadyofHats (talk)
      •  Comment Foreleg is one word, while hind leg and mid leg are each two words, and they should probably be written "Hind leg" and "Mid leg" (the first word capitalised only - leg not capitalised as it is not a proper noun) to be in line with wiki capitalization guidelines. Snowmanradio (talk) 19:34, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        •  Info done it. i also changed colors to relate the wing and the legs to the thorax.-LadyofHats (talk)
      •  Question What would it look like with "Abdominal segments" on one line and with "(I to VII)" underneath on the line below? If the two mid legs were exchanged left to right, then there would be more room for the writing on the right. Snowmanradio (talk) 19:26, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Excellent, but where are the multilanguague version? --Wilfredo Rodríguez (talk) 15:51, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support If you want multilanguage then translate it!. Demanding all translations to be done by the original author is unreasonable, especially if an SVG file is provided. --Dschwen (talk) 16:51, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It does not matter much, but it would be better to increase the default size of the SVG. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 08:04, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
but wikipedia already has a line in wich it offers you to see the image up to 2000 pixels wide. increasing the actual file size would only make it heavier for the server. oposite to a bitmap image it isnt like quality would improve with a bigger file -LadyofHats (talk) 08:34, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The SVG code would not increase in length by changing the nominal size of the image; a larger default size would be a better match for the amount of detail shown; yes, the wikimedia software will create png files at any desired size, but it needs an extra click, and not everybody is aware of those 2000px links. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 08:58, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
