Original – Adult human skull showing major bones
Reason
High Quality SVG file, satisfies Featured Picture resolution criteria as it can be scaled to "infinite" with zero reduction in quality. Though its sister image is a Featured Picture at Commons, I consulted with WP:MED member Soupvector who suggested in his medical expert opinion that this one would be better, instead.

  • Support (I commented on this previously on my Talk page) I have some professional familiarity with the topic, and have compared this diagram to some reference sources and have not noticed any errors. I note the concern raised by Chris Woodrich, but I think this diagram avoids the errors of distorted proportion that plagued the skeleton diagram. — soupvector (talk) 07:39, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral. I don't see any technical problems with this image, although thickness of the suture lines feels a bit off. (It's hard to visualise the orbit, given that the grey shading is much subtler than the edges of the lacrimal bone.) Also, all the labels are in adjective forms (omitting the word bone), except for Maxilla and Mandible, which are nouns. Maxillary [bone] would be more consistent, but the mandible isn't referred to as the "mandibular bone", so the disparity can't be completely avoided. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:02, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
These images are from the same angle and better in pretty much every way.
A simple retouch and these could be sent to FI as a full set.
  • Oppose While accurate, it is ugly. We have better images, and even some from the same angle, such as the set:

I disagree. The Sobotta figures you link are quite cluttered and include archaic spellings (e.g. "lachrymal"). Moreover, the spellings cannot be corrected readily since they are not SVG (whereas the image under discussion is). Overall, I'd say that they serve different audiences, but the image above is clearer, more current, and probably more useful to WP's broader audience. If the Sobotta figures could be updated and re-rendered as SVG to facilitate maintenance, they might become more valuable for some purposes (e.e. if interest in the sutures etc outweighs the problem of clutter). — soupvector (talk) 23:34, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
