Comment Beautiful, but it needs a scale. There is no way to tell if this is 1cm long or 30 cm long. Can this be added? Mattximus (talk) 00:19, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mattximus, the file description [1] says length is 7.5 cm. I think that's the size of the shell. The uploader has a huge portfolio and records the lengths in file descriptions, for example 4.8 cm here. Bammesk (talk) 00:59, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen some of these with a small white bar on the bottom indicated the size. I think this is important and rather easy to add. Mattximus (talk) 11:25, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Something like this:

I see your point. I have advocated for a scale mark on some noms. In cases when the photographer is an active editor, I think it's best that they do any modifications. In this case given the size is on the file page, I am Ok supporting the nom as is, although adding a scale would be an improvement. Bammesk (talk) 02:58, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
