[edit] Drupe fruit diagram

Original
Original
Reason
Excellent diagram illustrating the parts of a fruit and of a stone fruit in particular.
Proposed
A peach is a typical stone fruit, having a single large seed in the center that contains the embryo. The innermost layer of the floral ovary (the endocarp) fuses to the exterior of the seed, creating the hard "stone" in the center on such fruits. The outer layer of the ovary becomes the skin of the peach (exocarp).

Original caption: Diagram of the parts of the peach, a typical stone fruit.

  • Comment Can we get a more thorough caption? Tell us something interesting, and explain what the different parts are. The caption should bridge the gap between the image and the text of the article. Jeff Dahl 20:28, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
    • I've revised the proposed text. Is the result better? --EncycloPetey 21:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
      • I prefer the original caption. The idea is not for a summary of an article or anything like that, just to let know what the image is about, which the original did perfectly. thegreen J Are you green? 00:03, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • The caption should give meaning to an image. The viewer can obviously see it is a peach. Check out Wikipedia:Captions and FP criteria 7. I think this new caption is perfect. Jeff Dahl 03:08, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Support clear labeling of parts. Informative. de Bivort 04:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose. It's just a very simple diagram, without visually appealing textures or anything added, which serves it's purpose well enough. Informative yes, but eyecatching, etc, no. Plus the alignment of the text is out of whack. --jjron 09:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose. To expand on jjron's comment, the "Seed" and "Pericarp" headings are aligned differently with respect to the colored bars beneath them, and it looks like the entries under "Pericarp" ("Endocarp", etc.) are closer to the colored bar than the entries under "Seed" are. -- Coneslayer 12:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose per jjron. Nothing exceptional about this diagram. 128.135.224.192 20:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
  • IPs do not have suffrage. MER-C 08:51, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose Don't see how this serves to add value to the article which cannot be done by the text. Fails FP criterion 5. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 22:34, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
