  • Oppose Poorly made, imo. It seems a bit sloppy. crassic![talk] 05:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose Don't like having them all cover one another - cramped feeling. Have seen better comparison diagrams than this. --Janke | Talk 07:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose why are they all overlapping each other, seems like a rather amateur drawing than the best work possible Thisglad (talk) 09:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose, unreferenced, perfect candidate for SVG, or, at least much higher resolution. I also think the key should be on the left instead of far away from the rest of the image. gren グレン 11:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose. sizes should be in feet as well as meters. Rmhermen (talk) 13:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose - very sloppy. 8thstar 15:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose per all above. See Image:Giant planes comparison.svg for a good way to compare sizes (although since the dinos are much more different than the planes, the overlap method might not work here).--HereToHelp (talk to me) 17:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose sorry. Prefer svg. SpencerT♦C 22:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I've seen the overlap method used a lot for dinosaurs, simply to keep the size of the image down. Here is an example found from Google Images. I would not object to the overlap method, but to the lack of detail in the image. It is more useful not only to be able to compare the overall sizes of the creatures, but to also compare the sizes of their different features. — BRIAN0918 • 2008-04-14 18:27Z
  • Oppose. Sorry, but it's basicly four colored shapes slapped on top of one another, lacking all detail and value that makes a fp. Spinach Dip 08:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
