Dundasite and Crocoite

Original - Dundasite (white) and Crocoite (orange/red) from Dundas, Tasmania. Field of view is 5mm.

Reason: "Dundasite commonly overgrows crocoite", so the mixed minerals are justified. The type locality is best known for Crocoite.

Support. But as a side issue, the article doesn't actually seem to make it clear which is the Dundasite and which is the Crocoite! I had to visit the Crocoite article page to see that the red crystals were the Crocoite! A casual viewer would probably assume that it is the other way around, due to the prominence of the Crocoite. Would be worth making it more clear both here and in the article. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 11:12, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support: very nice image, good EV. It would also be good if you updated the Commons image description page so that the words 'Dunasite' and 'Crocoite' linked to the relevant articles on Wikipedia. You could also wikify 'Dundas, Tasmania' while you're at it. (I'd be happy to do this myself, but I get the impression that politeness dictates that it's best to suggest that you do it.)

No, you first! No I insist, please, you first! ;-) Something as simple as that probably won't be stepping on anyone's toes. Well, not mine anyway. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 13:01, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  - WP:BOLD applies to stuff like that imo. Noodle snacks (talk) 22:15, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support I strongly suggest that the caption indicate which mineral is which. I.E. "The XXXX is the orange crystals, the YYYY is the white fuzzy stuff." Nezzadar ☎ 13:57, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Lovely image, useful illustration. J Milburn (talk) 16:32, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support also wiki linked the relevant terms in the FP description, not sure why they wasn't already. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 04:53, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support Per above. I sell a treat like that in my European-style children's playland and candy emporium. Or I would if I owned a children's playland and emporium. WiiWillieWiki 19:32, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
