[edit] Mark 48 Torpedo testing

Awesome image sequence showing the testing of the Mark 48 torpedo by the Australian Navy. Great visualization for Mark 48 torpedo and Torpedo. -- Chris 73 Talk 04:24, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

• Oppose. It's pretty cool, but doesn't seem to fit in with the idea of being a FP Support the closeup of the single frame. Very cool. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 14:54, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Support. A great image and adds well to mark 48 article.Cavebear42 15:40, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Oppose. Although it beats Image:USS Port Royal CG-73.jpg. I quite like the 4th image (centre left) which more or less gives the whole story in one. It might be a better illustration for torpedo whilst keeping this sequence for Mark 48 torpedo. -- Solipsist 14:54, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Support the individual 4th image. -- Solipsist 19:59, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Neutral. Would like to see two things tried. 1. obtaining larger copy of one of the middle sequence, 2. using an animated gif to run through it. Dunc|☺ 18:40, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • (1) Uploaded the 4th image of the sequence separately Image:Mark 48 Torpedo breaking ship.jpg. (2) IMHO a GIF sequence would be less desirable because the shots are from many different angles and distances, confusing the user in a slide show. -- Chris 73 Talk 01:32, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
    • I think the image by itself works best, and would support that. Dunc|☺ 17:02, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Support. [[User:Rdsmith4|User:Rdsmith4/sig]] 01:21, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Support the original sequence, a single image has much less impact. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\^talk]] 09:35, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)
• Support (Nominator, forgot to vote when nominated) -- Chris 73 Talk 07:37, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
• Oppose both the sequence and the individual image. Each individual image is too small and mostly contains featureless ocean. - [[User:Bevo|Bevo]] 20:56, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Huh? Featureless ocean? Did you want the ship to be blown up with the golden gate bridge in the background or so? -- Chris 73 Talk 01:11, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)
    • I just don't see any detail in each frame. I understand that it is the sequence that is interesting, but this is not "Wikipedia:Featured picture sequence candidates". We need to consider pictures, not sequences of pictures. - [[User:Bevo|Bevo]] 08:05, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Support sequence, may not be a typical FP, but very informative. ed g2s • talk 13:32, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Sequence (+5/-1), single frame (+3/-1), promoting sequence. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\^talk]] 12:59, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
