Basal ganglia circuits edit

Original in raster (.png) format - Main circuits of the basal ganglia

Original in vector (.svg) format (The brain images at top are imported raster).

Reason: It explains the circuits of the basal ganglia in an anatomically precise and almost artistic manner, facilitating the understanding of Parkinson's disease and other basal ganglia diseases

Support as nominator - either .png or .svg --Mikael Häggström (talk) 13:06, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I'm a little hesitant about the imported raster; if no technical problems are found with the SVG, then that is where my vote lies; otherwise the PNG is also pretty good. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That raster picture of the brain is only used to show a location. It can perfectly be replaced by a silhouette. The spongy shape of the brain will be still recognizable by all. Abisharan (talk) 13:21, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

100% vector format.

Or it can be replaced by an equivalent vector image, as demonstrated. Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:30, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. These sort of drawings take a lot of time to make. For that reason alone, I would support FP status just to encourage the creation of more of this kind of fine work. Greg L (talk) 04:11, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not promoted --Makeemlighter (talk) 07:31, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why was this picture not promoted? Mikael Häggström (talk) 11:23, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand it, the quorum of five votes needs to be met for a picture to be promoted. NauticaShad es 20:29, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I'm thinking of making a new nomination after making some improvements to the picture. Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:29, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
