• Keep. Happy to replace once there's an SVG version with English labels rather than numbers. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 08:34, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
• I have uploaded a version with English labels but every time illustrator opened the original file, there was a slight color change in the gun barrel. Muhammad(talk) 16:11, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Removed image to simplify this process. Muhammad(talk) 03:31, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delist original, replace with numbered version, Oppose English labeled version. Much better to have the labels in the caption, that way the same Commons image can be used for many languages. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 18:40, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
  • You're in the wrong place. This is not Commons. This is the English Wikipedia. Thanks for taking note. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 18:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
• Uploaded a version with the gradient preserved (labeled v. 2). Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 19:14, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
• BTW, the original version has the components in reverse order. I don't know whether this makes any difference. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 19:15, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

As for the question of the elements being in the reversed order, for an encyclopedia in my opinion it doesn't matter, but amongst purists they now think (as of only a few years ago) that the elements go in the reverse order than the original. See the Little Boy article for more information. --Fastfission (talk) 22:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment On the 4th one - Iranium? That's either a whole new element or a really bad political joke. Mfield (talk) 22:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
• Comment. Ah! This was made a FP almost four years ago now! How our standards have changed, mostly for the better. I'm fine with de-listing it, to be honest. This version is not even used in any articles anymore. If you are going to make a new SVG version with English language, please take care to spell the component names correctly. --Fastfission (talk) 22:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
  • What, because you're so busy helping out? Takes two minutes to download and edit in Inkscape if you're a creature with opposable thumbs. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 20:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
    • I changed it. Mfield (talk) 03:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
      • Thanks Mfield. Kudos for stepping in. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 11:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delist and Replace. I prefer The third SVG version myself. NauticaShades 21:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. I wasn't a fan of the original, but I think the cyan lines are very intrusive compared to the original lines. What do you think? I just can't imagine this one passing today if it were a fresh nom. Pstuart84 Talk 22:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment I agree on the lines, I created Version 5 just to confuse things even more. Mfield (talk) 23:12, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
• Comment. Looks like it might not be using a web safe font in the SVG versions. Kaldari (talk) 23:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Changed V5 to use web safe Arial instead, the original SVG was in Bitstream Vera Sans which whilst it's a great free font, is far from web safe. Mfield (talk) 23:21, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delist and replace with v5. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
