 * Support as I promised last time. Chick Bowen 20:22, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I support either. I wonder if there's an in-between: a line with some transparency.  But we've already demanded enough work from Zephyris. Chick Bowen 03:00, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Iamthedeus (talk) 22:36, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I think given the level of realism this is trying to go for, the orange spirals are slightly misleading. Support anyways. Nergaal (talk) 01:34, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support I think the orange helices are important for getting the eye to work out what the 3D structure is - I would struggle without it anyway. Time3000 (talk) 08:54, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Neutral. I really want to support, but I agree with Nergaal. I feel that if we're showing the molecular stuff, the orange spirals should be removed.  Spencer T♦ C 17:20, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I have actually already made a version of this without the orange backbone, although it is currently on a computer in a different city! I was planning on uploading it at some point... - Zephyris Talk 16:54, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd be willing to support that. I mean, this version isn't bad enough for me to oppose, it's just that I find that if we're looking to be as realistic as possible, the nominated version has this one flaw.  Spencer T♦ C 20:24, 23 April 2011 (UTC)


 * This is the no backbone alt. - Zephyris Talk 23:06, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support alt.  Spencer T♦ C 22:09, 26 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Support alt only The orange line is pointless and misleading. Razum2010 (talk) 18:41, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support either, I don't think the orange line is especially misleading, at least no more so than portraying elements as coloured circles is. I'm happy with either though. Cowtowner (talk) 17:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Apologies for not noticing that voting had ended. Consider the above a comment. Cowtowner (talk) 17:19, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Another post-voting comment. I haven't looked at this closely enough to vote anyway, but if it's going to be promoted I definitely prefer the version without the orange line. --jjron (talk) 10:14, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
