[edit] Horse anatomy

Reason

Reason There are at least six significant labeling inaccuracies in the image. (Three sections of the spine mislabeled, the horse is indicated to have a collarbone and horses do not have a collarbone, the radius and ulna are identified as the right and left forelegs, the coffin bone is labeled as the "hoof", plus several significant points have no label at all.) The image quality is good, but the labeling is very misleading, to the extent that it provides false information. Several of the horse article editors can relabel the image correctly and are willing to do so, but it should not be featured in its current form.

*Delist, assuming that the inaccuracy complaints are true. Spikebrennan 21:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC) vote withdrawn if the errors have been corrected. Spikebrennan 04:37, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose Delist and request speedy close Montanabw Requested I make changes to the diagram on the 30th of July, just one and a half days later he has requested a delist despite me telling him I would make changes later today. I realise the user feels passionately about the horse related articles however, this isn't text, one must allow a reasonable amount of time for an image to be edited. Especially when the master image is 7000 x 6000 pixels and 250mb in file size and not the most up to date version. Just opening the file is no small affair. I have however now corrected the errors which came about due to one of my original sources being less than scientifically accurate. The only shame is we made it through the FP noms without this coming to light. However, it has now been corrected, hence the request for speedy closure of what seems a somewhat pointless delist to me.WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 22:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the image can now be kept as the major inaccuracies have been remedied (a few minor ones left, but as long as they are addressed, there should be no problem). However, the creator did initially suggest (see discussion on his talk page) that it might take "weeks" to fix the image, so I am pleased that a request for delisting got some prompt and appropriate action. The errors in the image only came to my attention when I was reviewing Skeletal system of the horse, a new article created July 27. Montanabw^(talk) 20:28, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
