  • Just curious, what puts you off nomming at FPC? Size looks OK, sourcing looks OK... --jjron (talk) 14:24, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I might have to think about this one. It uses appropriate fonts, but I don't like the white text with black borders. It makes it harder to read from a wide view like this. Some parts of the lines are incomplete, so I ask why. The lines switch from one color to another periodically and I question its accuracy (the lines don't connect, just overlap each other). The lines upclose don't concern me, as zooming in close obviously gets even more inaccurate, but I only want to know if the incomplete lines were done on purpose. It also has a minor compression issue with a text element, as seen in the legend as a thumbnail (It is a 30). Also, is there an ocean I'm not aware of? There are some chances I can fix it, but I need some input first. ZooFari 02:20, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Solid piece of work. A useful and attractive condensation of the Bird/UCLA dataset. Thanks Sting, and second the nomination. --Sargon3 (talk) 16:38, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
