  • Comment Obviously another great one from LoH. But I think the image could be much improved with some labels or some other information as to specific bones. A top view would also add a lot of information as well. Also, I generally like to see vector drawings with this level of detail uploaded at least 1000 px wide or so, so that it's easier to see and examine the detail without having to download it. I know that LoH uses a variety of sources, so it would be good to list or link on the image description page. Making sure the image description page is complete is an essential part of the FPC process. Putting in a little extra in terms of labels and putting the finishing touches on this drawing and image description page will make it so much better. Nice Job.

    • I don't think all of them have standard names, as they're unusual "mutant" forms of the skull structure. Some common ones probably do, of course. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 07:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
    • I uploaded a bigger image and added some of my references into the description page.I do not think the image would benefit from any labels since the subject is clear enough and ading extra text would add the need of translation. The image like it is now can be used in any Wiki project.

Also i did not copy an existing case of wormian bones, instead i gave already done skull some extra sutural bones following more or less my sources. -LadyofHats (talk) 10:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

  • One other thing, it looks like at the base of the skull the outer line is brown while the rest of the lines are black; is this supposed to be that way? Otherwise Support. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 18:57, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
    • er..it shouldnt be this way.. i fixed it. LadyofHats (talk) 19:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Support This is fantastic encyclopedic content. I doubt there is a better image of Wormian bones anywhere elso --Blacknightshade (talk) 00:50, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
