•  Info created by Dake - uploaded by Dake - nominated by Dake. The german S-Mine, this is one of the most complex picture I have made with Inkscape. It was heavily inspired by the US Army pictures on :en : en:Image:Smine-diagram.jpg and en:Image:Smine-sensor.jpg --Dake 21:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral My first impression was: Wow, a clean, beautiful illustration. And even that's the problem - I can't support a beautiful image of a mine. The illustration has to indicate its purpose (killing people) to get my support, otherwise it seems to me like a belittlement. Don't know how to do this though. norro 23:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

  The point of the picture was not to say "hey, it's a mine, it kills people". I mean we have featured pictures of potentially lethal things such as Image:050817-N-3488C-028.jpg or Image:Uss iowa bb-61 pr.jpg (whose purpose is to make war) and we won't read "it's a F-18, it carries missiles and it may kill civilians". But one can make a better description if needed. Dake 10:53, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

  Ok, I will make a labelized version. Dake 10:53, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Edited version (right) - not featured

•  Support Illustrative. A case in the point where everything that is true, is not necessarily beautiful. --Thermos 19:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral Might support after some minor flaws are addressed: i) The segments connecting to the tags should be horizontal or 45º oriented whenever possible; ii) The tags should be evenly distributed between both sides of the illustration; iii) The tag numbers are not centered inside the circles. Yes, a mine is a terrible weapon. But we have to know how it works to better oppose its use. Alvesgaspar 20:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose picture is very good, labeling is (still?) sub-standard. Lycaon 11:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

  the problem is that I don't know which font is used to render the SVG in Mediawiki. There is an easy way to fix that (convert the font to vector lines) but the text won't be editable afterwards. So..original fonts + SVG + Mediawiki = bad alignment. Dake 23:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

You could dump the circles ... Lycaon 14:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I would suggest to convert the text to paths (vector lines). The numbers can be used in most projects without being edited and if it's still necessary, the converted text can be edited like any other part of this illustration. norro 18:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

result: 1 support, 1 oppose, 1 neutral => not featured. Simonizer 08:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
