Alt, without colour labelling of the spine sections
  • Comment: I also think the colour distracts from the whole image somewhat, and overemphasises the spine in an image showing the whole skeleton. We seem to have another version (by the same author) without the colour, which I've added as an alt. Also, AFAIK the ischium is part of the pelvis. Should it labelled separately as it is? I'm not quite sure about the 2D perspective showing only half the ribs but four limbs. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:51, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support And I preferred the image with the colors— they were neither garish nor obtrusive, and helped convey important information about the content of the image. The image is well-worth supporting even without them, but I do not think it has been at all improved by being converted to a b&w image when the color that was used in the previous version was actually helpful for understanding the illustration. In any case, the image gets my wholehearted support! Also, I think the concern about the illustration of only half of the ribs but all four legs does not warrant consideration— this picture has quality that makes it look like it could have come from a veterinarian's text book, and I am pretty sure that no one is going to be confused by the lack of the second set of ribs which would do nothing to improve the image and might even make it more confusing.

  • Oppose, but with a caveat - this is an SVG. There's no need to make people cross-reference a key, the whole reason we use SVGs for these diagrams is that, in theory, they allow any language to be edited in. For English Wikipedia, I can't see how not putting the information on the image helps in any way; I don't think it's helpful to make people refer to a key several dozen times just to understand the information presented. That said, so long as a little care's taken with the text layout, I'd gladly support a version that loses the need to use a key. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:33, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as per Adam Cuerden. Do like the coloured version better, so if text was added, would prefer that one. Mattximus (talk) 15:25, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'd add a line between the coloured boxes, though, to help distinguish it for colour blind people. They're rather similar brightnesses. Actually, maybe the alt, with a little, more subtle colour added? Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:36, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
