The Transneptunians[edit]

Reason: Encyclopaedic; gives a lot of information in a way that could not be shown in text form; attractive; and I feel adds a sense of clarity and humanness to an enormously vast area what is of essentially nothing.

Oppose - Very unclear. There are a lot of labels and abbreviations which would be confusing to a general audience. Color coding to me suggests differences in composition. Poor indication of what is the difference between say a Plutino, Kuiper belt object or something in the scattered disk. Very low "wow factor" too. —Dgies^t c 07:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Highly enc illustration with quite an information content. I suggest putting wikilinks into the caption on the imag page, and maybe make the svg clickable. --Dschwen 09:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but there is nothing clear or attractive about this graphic. Nilington 11:55, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Is it just me or does the part where the blue and red sections meet have this weird 3D effect? It's hard to explain, but it feels like I'm focusing beyond my screen, kind of like a autostereogram effect. howcheng {chat} 18:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I see it too. Do you wear eyeglasses? If you do, then some prismatic refraction can cause the blue and red colors to appear in a slighly different place in your right and left eye, which explains the effect. --Janke | Talk 21:13, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - That must be it. I tried it with contact lenses and did not get the same effect. howcheng {chat} 22:24, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. It's quite an eyesore (apparently in more ways than one for those who wear eyeglasses).--ragesoss 00:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not very clear. Arjun 02:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
weak support I don't see this as an eyesore at all, it just doesn't seem super aesthetically appealing. Enc value earns it a partial support though! Debivort 10:18, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Cluttered, incoherent. I feel dumber now than I was before. ~ trialsanderrors 05:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose' I'm a nerd and an astronomophile, but I just don't know what I'm looking at. Diagrams should elucidate and inspire, not befuddle and bemuse. TotoBaggins 02:12, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
