- Note that this is a second nomination of this image. When nominated previously, another editor expressed concerns about the image's structure, coloring, etc. I have since addressed those concerns and have discussed the revisions with that editor who now has indicated that the image would now receive that editor's support. Also: we have both attempted to contact the original author of the journal article in which this animal's anatomy is originally presented in an attempt to have him vet the image— several months later, neither of us has yet received any response and there seems no point in waiting any further at the moment.

Support -- I strongly support this new, very much improved version of the image. Invertzoo (talk) 22:57, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great work! This image has major EV and is highly indicative of a great encyclopedic image. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 14:04, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Question: Is there a reason why some labels/lines are different sizes/colors/formats? Unless there's a consistent pattern that's grouping sets of anatomical features, there's not a lot of consistency. Also, some labels (e.g. "(pericardial nerve)") are in parentheses: is there a reason for that? Also there doesn't need to be a space between the dash and "head" in the "Snout/ head" label.

- Also is it possible to make the mouth look like it connects to the underside of the organism? (like moreso in the earlier version - [1]). It looks like a suspended uvula-like protrusion in this version. Spencer^T♦C 06:48, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, and yes. I used fonts of different sizes (2 different sizes) to signify the difference between broad/ large/ simple organs ("Mouth", "Mantle", "Intestine") and their more specific/ smaller/ more complex components ("Salivary glands", "Pallial margin papillae", "Stomach") but I admit that these distinctions are not well founded in biology and I would be glad to erase them. The items in parentheses are shown that way to indicate that they are "beneath" another organ/ part (i.e., that the end of a corresponding line is indicating the thing underneath that on which it actually appears to terminate). I am open to suggestions on how else to indicate this if it is felt that parentheses are more confusing than helpful. The lines shift color and brightness as needed for contrast, with an attempt to stay towards the blue end of the spectrum on all of them— if I did not provide enough contrast, the lines would get lost. Would you prefer them to be all in black-and-white instead? Lastly, I can edit the spacing on "Snout/head" and can adjust the mouth downward easily enough, will repost as soon as done with those.

Changes now made, Spencer. KDS444 (talk) 08:15, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, Support. If anything I'd recommend putting those comments about the differences in style you mentioned above (e.g. discussing the parentheses) in the image description page. Best, Spencer^T♦C 08:18, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I think this is a solid illustration. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:25, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
