Support Nicely done, demonstrates the concept perfectly. InvictaHOG 16:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Painfully weak oppose - I'd happily support but for a small border, about 1 px wide, of black on two edges and light grey on one other. Sort that out and I'll change to support. -- CountdownCrispy ^{( ?} 17:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's done (I hadn't noticed. Conversion problems) Alvesgaspar 18:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Good job, I support. -- CountdownCrispy ^{( ?} 20:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Question about the commas as the decimal separators in the numbers. Would this be an issue in making this image a featured picture on the English wikipedia, as (as far as I know) the use of commas is not common in English. (I know people who would be confused by it, mainly because their French teachers didn't teach them.) Is there a policy about this? Spebudmak 00:39, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'll bet it would be easy to make a version with the decimal marker changed. The non-English version is a candidate for Featured Picture in Wikimedia Commons, where issues germane to specific languages are not important, but in the English Wikipedia, it would be a stronger candidate if it follows English conventions.

Support Can't be much more encyclopedic than this! Support also valid for a (future?) version with decimal point instead of comma. --Janke | Talk 06:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Precise, and nicely done. One a side note: most of today's calipers are digital, you you just have to read what the screen says... -Glaurung 06:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
