Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Rise and Fall of the Ottoman Empire

Very well documented, high quality animation

This is one of those really cool images we need an FP on. I'd wait for a seconder before nominating, though. ₪Ceran →(cheer→chime →carol) 02:10, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Is it possible to speed it up? (50-100%'d be ideal for me) Noodle snacks (talk) 11:10, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Great in concept, execution needs a little work. The border with Persia is thicker than necessary in some frames. In some frames, there's a border shown through Ottoman territory between contemporary Egypt and Israel. Why include the borders of contemporary (2009) countries at all? Ten years from now, that may render this image obsolete. In some of the later frames, there is no explanation of the internal borders that distinguish some of the associated Balkan states from the Ottoman Empire proper-- if there's a distinction between them and the empire proper, then maybe there should be a color difference and a legend that explains it.

I agree about the Persia border - definitely too thick. It could use a minor speed up, but not too much. I feel the present borders should remain so it gives users a better understanding of relative size of the empire at given times. But I think the present-day borders should be lighter and not so distinct. Def could be FP if some of these obstacles are tackled. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 06:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think this image is fantastic. It really shows the growth of the Empire in a way that a static image could not do so alone. It's very slow, but worth the wait! I'd second the motion, but I don't think I have such authority. However, it's got my vote! Great job!
