Support One might wish the series was longer, but w!what it is is great. I've moved it to directly next to the text it illustrates. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.3% of all FPs} 18:54, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
~~Conditional~~ support - Don't you have a fourth image of the actual mating "wheel" position? The brightness difference in the significantly darker third image should be fixed. (Personally, I would also crop a bit from the top.) --Janke | Talk 15:36, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wish I did! I've brightened the third image, thanks for spotting difference. I tried a crop, but prefer as is... Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:09, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – I can't figure out what happened to the background on the 3rd image! Bammesk (talk) 02:43, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
