Wikipedia talk:Featured picture candidates/Digestive system diagram
Threaded discussion
[edit]- Comment - Good EV in three of the articles (gallery placement in the others). My only issue is the size. The original file size (in my opinion) really needs to meet the 1500x1500 minimum (recently brought up in another nom). I have no experience working with SVG files. Can this be easily accomplished?--Godot13 (talk) 19:36, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Response: I've asked for help at commons:Commons:Graphic_Lab/Illustration_workshop#Digestive_system_diagram_-_SVG_help_.21. Hopefully we'll get an answer soon. However, please consider the High EV. And that another file, File:Circulatory System en.svg = already Featured Picture on English Wikipedia and was even Picture of the Day on English Wikipedia. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 19:47, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Please note: This is an SVG. Per WP:WIAFP on SVG files: "Note that vector graphics in SVG format can have a nominal size much smaller than this, as by their nature they can be infinitely scaled without loss of quality." Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 20:28, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

[edit]- Comment The low resolution is a bar. For an image to be featured it should be formatted in a way to make it reusable in contexts outside Wikipedia. Without meeting that standard requirement the rules say that this image should not be featured. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:14, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, Bluerasberry. Please note, as I've already stated, above, I've requested help at commons:Commons:Graphic_Lab/Illustration_workshop#Digestive_system_diagram_-_SVG_help_.21. Please also note, the file is good enough to be Picture of the Day on Commons. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 20:16, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

- Cirt Can you confirm that this file meets standards? If it does then my objection is met. I do not know the rules so well myself, but I have seen other files criticized for this. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:39, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, Bluerasberry, I had another look at the standards as described at the Featured Picture criteria page. The criteria state, specifically for SVG files as an exception: "Note that vector graphics in SVG format can have a nominal size much smaller than this, as by their nature they can be infinitely scaled without loss of quality." This is not a JPG file. It is an SVG file. Because it is in SVG format, it looks the same high quality when blown up to very very large sizes. Please re-evaluate your position here. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 20:40, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- I changed the rule to make this case easier to evaluate. Support based on meeting the criteria for resolution and for being a useful image. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:46, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
