Circlestrafing
a Wikipedia:Featured picture

I am proposing and support the removal of this image from featured picture status. I came across this randomly and just couldn't figure out at all why it would be featured. Does anyone remember the votes for this? I see the point of the image, but for what reasons is it featured?? --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 06:12, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC

  • Oppose delisting. Like most, I read this image the wrong way round when I first saw it (perhaps it would help if the colours were swapped, the eye is drawn to red as well as the centre). Nor am I particularly interested in the subject. But this image does significantly add to the article and its well executed. I think we are being way to hard on diagrams and illustrations at the moment. -- Solipsist 17:49, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Pretty good actually. Agree with Solipsist -- Chris 73 Talk 12:15, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose delisting. Clear, informative, adds significantly to the subject. Why on Earth has it been listed at all? James F. (talk) 13:49, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose delisting (although the concept might be better illustrated with an animated GIF version) - [[User:Bevo|Bevo]] 16:03, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment: Would support an animated version. --Alphax (talk) 02:29, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment (I created this): I don't care much either way. If it helps, it is on my to-do list to redraw this in a higher image quality. Fredrik | talk 16:41, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Red's "miss" should indicate a slight miss to the right of a Blue target's greyed out image, indicating that the target moved away from the anticipated position as the shot was fired. Also, perhaps all lines suggesting the direction of movement should have arrow heads, so you can see the transition dynamics from Blue cartoon image to cartoon image. It's not quite right that the Red shooter seems to have attempted multiple shots, each on the exact trajectory path. Shouldn't the movement of the Red shooter be indicated somehow? - [[User:Bevo|Bevo]] 21:45, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose delisting. This is an encyclopedia, and this is really helpful, though a visual upgrade would be cool. --Twinxor 21:17, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose delisting, same reason as twinor tooto 14:59, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delisting not approved, 3/6 -- [[User:Bevo|Bevo]] 18:53, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
