Please note per Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria this file can be scaled up to infinite size with zero loss in quality. Top image for Endomembrane system, a WP:GA quality article. Note: Per Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Endomembrane system diagram en.svg, changed the nomination to edit: File:Endomembrane system diagram en.svg, note file usage on the Commons Featured Picture, at File:Endomembrane system diagram en.svg -- the only difference is the capitalized "V" in the word "vesicle" has been downscaled.

~~Oppose~~ Comment – IMO this diagram seems too arcane to be comprehensible to most readers/viewers of English WP, and the target article seems too abstruse to me. Sca (talk) 16:48, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sca:, this is one of the first things every single student learns in basic biology class. It is not arcane. It is comprehensible. It is extremely useful to our readers and viewers of English WP, and the target article is already WP:GA quality. — Cirt (talk) 16:51, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is not arcane - this is middle-school biology in the USA (and we don't tend to lead the world); however, what is the "yolk" in the center of the nucleus (is it meant to be a nucleolus?), and why is the plasma membrane many times thicker than all other membranes in the figure? Also, the mitochondrion is a key part of the endomembrane system, but is unfortunately omitted. soupvector (talk) 17:06, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Soupvector:, thank you, Soupvector, for your participation, here. This is an illustration and as such it is not going to look like an image from an electron microscope, but more like an animation from a textbook. As you acknowledge, this is middle-school biology in the USA and this is quite similar to textbook images. You can see examples online at [1] and [2] and [3]. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 17:10, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm betraying my ignorance – I don't remember anything like this from H.S. biology, in which I dissected a frog.
