 * Reason:Discussion at WP:ERRORS today, permalink to current discussion is here. None of those participating in the complaint  seem interested in utilising the correct process for this kind of issue, but I'm pinging them so they can contribute here with their various statements.
 * Articles this image appears in:Jupiter
 * Previous nomination/s:Featured picture candidates/Diagram of Jupiter
 * Nominator: The Rambling Man (talk)


 * Maybe people would be more likely to utilize the procedure here if it were easier to do so. I have NO idea if my vote is properly formatted, but given the horrible wording and the issues pointed out by Andrew Davidson I am voting to delist this thing. Khajidha (talk) 15:10, 4 March 2016‎ (UTC)
 * Comment I have no dog in the fight, hence why I deleted the default "delist" vote added by the template. I simply initiated this discussion because of the recalcitrance of those who have spent half the day criticising the image without doing anything about improving it.  The Rambling Man (talk) 20:33, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment again, since he seems reluctant to actually help with anything, here are some more comments from : diff should anyone feel they have the energy to deal with them. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:37, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think this needs to be delisted, as long as someone who knows how can tweak some of the text. Issues are: changing "liquidier hydrogen" to "liquid hydrogren", and "gassier hydrogen" to "hydrogen gas"; changing "far north" and "far south" to "north north" and "south south" in two places (looks weird, but our article makes it pretty clear this is the actual terminology); making lines from descriptor to item being described more visible (in places, white on white); cleaning up the legend so it doesn't imply the aurorae and Galilean moon orbits are to scale; and removing/explaining the x/y offset items in the title block.  And possibly a couple of other suggestions that  could make when he gets here. These all seem text-based or line-based issues, I think someone clueful (hopefully there's someone like that who frequents this page) could fix this.  Also pinging, who appears inactive but who created the image. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:50, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I question the changes "liquidier hydrogen" to "liquid hydrogren", and "gassier hydrogen" to "hydrogen gas". It depends on whether the error is one of grammar or science. From a grammar viewpoint, the correction would be "more liquid hydrogen" and "more gaseous hydrogen", which I interpret as not intended to mean a binary state, but a continuum with gaseous at one end and liquid at the other. I am not a scientist and I don't know if that interpretation makes sense in any context or if it is an accurate description of Jupiter; but it does match File:Jupiter_fr.svg "plus gazeux" and "plus liquide". jnestorius(talk) 00:33, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, you may be right, your suggestions might be better. I don't know the technical facts. I imagine we could scare up an astronomer somewhere. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:38, 5 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment it can't be featured with "liquidier" on it. I am unqualified to address other concerns, so if "liquidier" is fixed, I am neutral, otherwise I am for delisting. jnestorius(talk) 00:33, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree "liquidier" is a problem, unless someone can fix it. I think the labels are a symptom of a more difficult to fix problem that the image poorly represents what is presumably a continuous spectrum from gas to liquid to (hypothetically) metallic. I don't know if this is appropriate critique but the pink is truly eye searing and presumably does not represent anything about the predicted properties of metallic hydrogen. The current text associated with the image is also not of featured standard. For information content, I actually prefer the image this replaced: Jupiter interior.png.

 * Delist I read over some of the comments by Andrew and they are very significant. The use of "30 miles thick" is against convention (metric is used in scientific articles), and also weird that it's the only measurement used. Liquidier is not a word. Some things are drawn to scale and others not. It's a clear delist. Mattximus (talk) 02:57, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delist There are lots of issues, as discussed at WP:ERROR. These seem intractable because the artist is not currently active and we don't seem to have the source code used to generate this diagram.  The method of working seems to have been to extract numbers such as the diameters from a variety of sources, to input these into a 3D renderer such as Inkscape which was then used to produce a 2D image from the 3D model.  In such a case, the raw data and its supporting sources should be made available so that there's a clear audit trail.  These would enable the details to be verified and facilitate recreation of the diagram in circumstances such as:
 * new data from probes and studies
 * correction of errors and omissions
 * translation of the text into other languages
 * Without the raw data and exact sources, such a technical diagram should not be accepted as featured. Andrew D. (talk) 09:20, 5 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep – The source code is in the svg file. I revised the drawing. The changes are: gassier to gaseous, liquidier to liquid, 30 miles to 50 km, Far north to North north, Far south to South south. The changes are supported by the 3 sources cited in the file's description. Pinging those who voted: . Side note: I checked the major axis of Ganymede and Thebe's orbits (although shown as cut off, the code includes the full orbits). They are drawn to scale. Bammesk (talk) 16:19, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Response Hi, I know i’m very late to this (I mostly monitor wikipedia through my email notes these days and I guess none of you bothered to actually bring up this Delist on my talk page) but to address some of the complaints here:
 * * liquidier — This was intentional because I drew the picture to the specifications in the article & other sources, which all insisted that inside these planets, there is no liquid and gas hydrogen, only hydrogen that is closer to being one or the other. The current change to the picture made is wrong'.
 * * “metallic hydrogen isn’t a thing” — If there is no such thing as metallic hydrogen, then we have bigger problems because I got the name from the article at the time I read it. The layer is pink (as it is in all the other planet pictures) because I looked for what color the (supposed) material is in real life but couldn’t find anything so I made it pink to reflect its nature as an alien substance.
 * * miles — The diagram is in miles because I am American and we use miles around here. If you want to change it to kilometers go ahead. It’s the only measurement in the picture because the cloud layer is really thin and so it makes sense to state the thickness in words instead.
 * * moons too big — valid concern, the disks look big because they are out of focus (like the background stars), it was an artistic thing. I already figured this would pose a problem which is why I didn’t defocus the moons in any of the later planet pictures.
 * * field of view and x/y shifts — ironic that people are complaining about both this, and saying that the image is out of scale. The image and everything in it (except the aurorae) are perfectly to scale, and the camera projection data is precisely for scale nuts like certain people on this page to dig through and verify that yes, the picture is indeed to exact scale and perspective.
 * * “The moons Metis and Adrastea” — I was not aware these moons exist, and i am still not convinced they do
 * * “North North” “North North” as it seems to have been changed to sounds a lot weirder than the original “far north”. “North North” sounds like something Kanye West came up with.

 * – About the labels "North north" and "South south": it is the terminology used in fig 8.4,,  (paper's title). Also google books search count for "North north"  is 226, versus zero for "Far north".


 * – About the labels "Gaseous" and "Liquid" hydrogen: it is the terminology used in pg 23,  fig. 8.14, . True that hydrogen's temperature is above the critical point, so the gas and liquid phase are not as well defined as they are normally. However, for labels, the sources use "gaseous" and "liquid".


 * – About miles and km, I figure km is more popular in astronomy, but I think miles are just as good.


 * On a side note: obviously I don't own wikipedia !! but if I did ! I would say thank you for your images, very nice contributions. Thank you, as a user.
