  • Weak oppose - I find the faces a little... different to the style I would ideally expect to see in Wikipedia. But that's hard to define, hence the weak. --bodnotbod 10:34, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - the faces and the fact that it looks quite different are the reasons that made me put this up for FPC. --Bash 03:26, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Although it certainly is different as outlined above, and I agree that it's informative, I think that the flat 2D graphics and the colour scheme put together make for one uninspiring diagram. It's ok, but not exceptional. Enochlau 10:44, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - Changed the colours around a bit. See if you like the 2nd one better. --Bash 18:40, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose It's interesting, but the picture would need to be bigger than the space limitations for POTD. It doesn't have much immediate effect. --Kerowyn 05:11, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • ( − ) Oppose After reading the description at the bottom I got what you were showing, but a diagram really should contain all the data in itself and not require explanation (except intricate things like a motherboard). Also not too keen on the icons used to show spammer etc. --Fir0002 09:46, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. This really made me laugh and I think we need to encourage creative diagrams like that. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 11:47, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. A little flat and not very...can't think of the right word...professional looking? --ScottyBoy900Q 23:59, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose It is a clear diagram, however I do not believe that it is a very high quality image. I dont think that this belongs on wikipedia featured pics, but it might be useful for an article. --Ironchef8000 02:49, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. If it was recreated with a more modern graphic design then I would probably support it. It has potential. Diliff 03:30, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
