Root canal illustratoin edit

 
this root canal illustration is scheduled for next friday's PotD
 
JelloCube27's Trace
Reason
A nice diagram but it's not FP-worthy. Maybe if it was SVG I'd be wowed by it enough to hold off on the delist for a couple years :)

  • Keep I saw this on my page too (I get the FP a week in advance) and I considered applying for a delist. On second thought, however, I realized that the diagram is actually pretty cool, considering it's surgery on the inner pulp of the tooth. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 06:04, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist — Ha! I was just about to nominate this image, but you beat me to the punch. It's too small and could VERY easily be traced into SVG format. If someone converts it to SVG, I will gladly support the FPC for that version. ♠ SG →Talk 06:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep but strongly endorse replacing with SVG version. —Dgiest c 08:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I like the picture--it's very informative--so I'll get to tracing it. Jellocube27 21:36, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Traced I traced the picture. Hope it is satisfactory ;) Jellocube27 03:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist It's off by 200 pixels in length for being 1000 pixels, but if it was big enough I would support it as a featured picture. Why1991 00:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, it just about does the job at the current resolution, but strongly encourage conversion to SVG. ed g2stalk 15:53, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per ed g2s --Fir0002 22:00, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, effective illustration, though I'd encourage creation of a vector version. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 22:59, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment In addition to my above delist vote, the image is also saved in PNG-8 format, as you can clearly see the dithering. So, not only is the image below resolution and not SVG, it's not even in the right lossless PNG format (PNG-24). unsigned comment by SG
    • Ah, that should put a nail in this one's coffin --frothT C 00:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I contacted the original uploader some time ago and asked for an SVG version. However, I don't think he's been able to find the original file, which was drawn in Illustrator (so an SVG conversion should be simple as doing a SAVE AS command). howcheng {chat} 02:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This makes me squirm even more than the eye surgery photo. I think this should stay until a higher resolution replacement is created. Spebudmak 05:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replace with the SVG trace one. In any case, the SVG one should appear on the front page in a couple days instead of the lossy PNG one since they're basically the same except for the format. One tiny comment though.. would it be possible to make the head on the drill a little (realistically) smaller? It looks like a toy --frothT C 05:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment done-- clear your cache! Sorry, I don't know anything about dentistry! Any more comments on the drawing, please tell :) Jellocube27 09:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've replaced the picture of the day with the .svg-- if there are any objections, please voice them soon! Jellocube27 13:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Objection I did it days ago :p --frothT C 19:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Based on the comments here, I take it that the SVG version will be shown as the 12 January POTD.[1] Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:15, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced with SVG version Raven4x4x 05:37, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
