- Reason
- Freely licensed, meets all other criteria. This image has been almost two years in the making— please offer any comments for suggestions or improvements, I am still taking all of them (really! I need suggestions to improve!). Thanks! This image has been cleaned of raster components and has passed W3C validation; it contains no HTML code and has been managed for size. I have chosen not to depict the animal's tentacles (beyond the shadow shown here) as this would make the image more difficult to interpret than it already may be. Likewise I have curtailed the depiction of the neural system, the circulatory system, and the musculoskeletal system, as each of these would require its own complete diagram to be correctly understood. From this illustration the viewer should be able to understand that the nautilus has an archaic metamerism visible in the number of its lungs, a typical molluscan nerve ring around its oesophagus, and a simple locomotive system via its hyponome.KDS4444Talk 14:55, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

- Comment. In the bitmap renditions (are these created by Wikipedia itself?) the joining of the text labels to the lead lines is messy and inconsistent (overlaps, different spacings). The SVG display in Chrome has some messiness (less) in this respect, but the font is completely different (changes to a slightly weedy serif font). The SVG display in IE breaks completely (tiny unreadable text). 109.152.149.255 (talk) 01:16, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- I am recalling that when I has this problem with my last diagram, the only solution ended up to convert all of the text to outlines. Which is what I have now done. KDS4444Talk 23:18, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
