 * oppose, for now - not very attractive in the thumbnail, surely it could have a little color? Also, I find the variability in line width of the figures unfortunate - clearly some of these images are identical scaled versions of each other. de Bivort 13:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose-this image is not nearly interesting enough to be a FP, the criteria clearly states that it must grab attention and that the image should, by itself, draw people in to read the article. I do not see this colorless, uniform conference of simple drawings of similar subjects doing this.  Rudy Breteler (talk) 00:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Perhaps someone more knowlegable ~than me (just about anyone)could make it more atractive. Perhaps by changing the backround or something.Nnfolz (talk) 04:38, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment, needs reference to verify whale size. gren グレン 06:16, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment, needs scale in meter or centimeter or inch also mentioned somewhere on picture. gppande 05:15, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a human silhouette? Spikebrennan (talk) 14:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

At the moment it is not FP, but maybe with some work... C hris_huh talk 14:01, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think it is worthy of FP at the moment, maybe if some more work is done to it. Just to say a few things, all of the diagrams are made individually, except for the right whales, which are just scaled. The reason for the different thicknesses is that i originally made them as separate images (see any of the cetacean species articles) and then i added them all to one SVG afterwards. I don't fully understand SVG but this seemed to prevent me from adjusting the thicknesses of the lines (although i would like to). A scale line could be useful, but i think the human is enough (since it is used for similar posters etc). They could do with some colouring (the blue whale individual image has had one done here) but i am not very knowledgeable on this.
 * Oppose. The fonts used in this SVG are not web safe. See DIAGRAM. Kaldari (talk) 04:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * When i made it i started with another font, but it just messed up and the text would move all over the place. The wikipedia svg engine didn't seem to do normal fonts so i had to go with the one that is there now (whatever that on is). If you know how to get this with a websafe font that actually works and doesn't mess up, could you let me know how? Cheers C  hris_huh talk 12:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Try using Verdana, Arial, or Times and see if you have any luck. Kaldari (talk) 23:28, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
