Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Ice hockey rink
This a very detailed diagram of an ice hockey rink, thus very encyclopedic. It appears in Ice hockey rink. Maxim (☎) 22:14, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

- I really know nothing about ice-hockey, but will give some general comments. It looks informative and there's not a lot of problems to do with inconsistencies in fonts or layouts, spelling errors, etc. In that respect it does look good. Some questions would be why do you have inconsistencies in the distance measurements for the 'zones'(?), i.e., some are at the top of the field, some at the bottom, some not there at all (I mean the 11ft, 64ft, 50ft ones)? Why does the centre 50ft zone 'look' to be about twice the width of the 64ft zone beside it - is there an error, or is this not done to scale? Why do you show radius of the circles at one end of the field, and diameter at the other end? Why do some measurements give the feet first, others give the metres first, some use brackets, some don't, some state NA/Intl., some don't. What is the top 8.5m arrow indicating? As I said I don't know about hockey, but are there only six players on the team, and why are they in the positions they are (starting positions? is it compulsory? etc)? Another thing is that no sources are given for the diagram, and these are often requested for such diagrams. Also, while informative, I wonder how compelling it is to look at - often termed 'wow' at FPC. It could do with some more work, but seems to be reasonably good. --jjron (talk) 08:48, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- I also know nothing about ice hockey, but Jjron seems to make good comments. However I do think the diagram is compelling to look at, if it could be improved -- it should be less cluttered. I question if giving the metric equivalent is necessary for North American dimensions and giving the imperial equivalent is needed for International dimensions. I'm also confused by the scale, and the Mom's Guide referenced on the image page seems to give different dimensions (10' + 60' + 60' + 60' + 10') than those in the diagram.

- Ah, I missed the 'mom's guide' ref - I was looking for refs under "Sources". --jjron (talk) 10:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
