Original - Modern replica of the major wind rose of the Cantino planisphere, drawn over the African continent. A reproduction of the original is here. Notice the Fleur-de-lys drawn in the interior of the rose.

Reason: High quality and good resolution replica of an old wind rose, showing clearly the details of the painted original. Colours were reproduced as faithfully as possible and minor drawing imperfections were corrected.

Comment Is there any value to retaining the face from the original? And a small thing, I would prefer to see the image centred on the red square (not as it currently sits in the corner) Cowtowner (talk) 22:16, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have decided not to include the face because it would look somehow fake, but I could still try. As for the framing, this is a svg image, meaning that the background is just an empty and transparent space. Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:53, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- For me, that would probably be a condition of my support. If you have the time to try, I'd like to see the results. Cowtowner (talk) 21:16, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Misleading; claims to be a specific reproduction, but lacks details that appear in the original. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 08:18, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
