Marine sextant

 * Reason:A detailed and precise diagram adding significant value to the article about the sextant. The drawing is geometrically consistent and accurate, in the sense that a real instrument could be based on it. A simplified "working" version was used in this FP animation.

 * Support Good technical quality.  The gradients look like natural lighting.  The file page could use a source to verify accuracy.  -- I. Pankonin (t&middot;c) 08:55, 21 February 2008 (UTC
 * Oppose. The text is shape data rather than text, i.e. it can't be edited. Kaldari (talk) 17:48, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry not to be an expert on svg. It is fixed now -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:17, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose I'm not sure what this shows us that isn't already illustrated in the animated FP. As far as level of detail goes it's superior, but it doesn't seem like anything important was missing. If we want a more realistic picture, why not just take a photo?
