Not an accurate image of a human skeleton with numerous stylistic inconsistencies.
Also proposed for delisting.
Reason
Not an accurate depiction as explained below. Stylistically inconsistent and messy.
This image is an inaccurate depiction of a human skeleton. It is still of "high" quality but we should not be having a featured image that is not accurate. Previous delisting nom here but per this failed good image nomination, the winds may have changed with regard to the necessary standards of accuracy for images.
Here are my and Paul_012's list of concerns:
Accuracy
  • Skeleton has very broad shoulders vs hips
  • Legs are shown in valgus position, not accurate
  • Knee joint bones are huge compared with leg.
  • Femur is just as thick as the tibia (not true)
  • The cervical vertebrae too thick.
  • The triangle below the clavicle unnaturally big.
  • The rib cage expands sidewards strangely and does have the normal curvature
  • Distal third of the clavicle too thick.
  • Spacing of the shoulder joints is too wide. (Humeral head seems inferiorly subluxated.)
  • Left thumb is impossibly over-abducted.
  • Patella seems inferiorly subluxated.
  • Tibia is too thick.
  • Ankles are generally poorly represented.
Style - technical
  • Image not shown in anatomical position
  • "Cranium" most commonly referred to as the skull (not labelled()
  • Calcaneus labelled but not other tarsal or carpal bones
  • Manubrium labelled but is part of sternum
  • No such structure as "pelvic girdle"
Style - visual
  • Titles difficult to read and close to lines
  • Numbers of vertebrae impossible to read
  • Red vs blue lines unclear?
