 * Question: Is that undulating horizon a real, geographical feature, or an artifact of a less-than-perfect stitching? There's a difference of around 100 px on the sea level height at the extreme left & right... --Janke | Talk 19:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the same question was asked and answered at the PPR nom. --jjron (talk) 01:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the level error wasn't addressed - so, this picture is tilted quite a bit, right? --Janke | Talk 07:30, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This is not a vote as I obviously am not logged in, but I think that the caption needs some work. "With an annual population increase of 4.39%, the city has become the 3rd fastest growing in Africa and the 9th fastest in the world."  What does that mean?  Is that for just one year?  Which year?  Compounded over a period of time?  I think that it is ambihuous and or misleading.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.195.86.40 (talk) 20:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Seems pretty self explanatory to me - it's evidently a compound growth at an average of 4.39%, making it 3rd and 9th fastest growing respectively. A reference is provided in the article, right above where this image is - see here. --jjron (talk) 01:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

 * If it is a 360 deg panorama it should be stitched as that. The ends do not seem to line up. By stitching across the wrap around you can remove some of the tilt. By adding vertical guides to the buildings you will be able to romove all undulations from the horizon. Until it is properly stitched I can only say oppose. --Dschwen 14:24, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
