Oppose Certainly Wow!, but the lines and dots all over the image are so dominating that I can't see this as FP. I appreciate the excellent work and it's probably hardly possible to make this better, but the issue remains. Sorry to ruin the party. -- H005 (talk) 08:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per H005 plus t the top and bottom there are areas that are not "mapped".--Korall (talk) 11:12, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Those must be regions for which the probe did not take any pictures (or it did and they showed alien colonies, which led to the regions being censored by NASA). -- JovanCormac 11:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and one important thing, whoever did it: Please don't use the Image Annotation feature on the description page to comment on a FP candidate! Use the IA on the candidate page instead, or you are confusing and potentially scaring users who arrived at the description page from another page, e.g. from Wikipedia. -- JovanCormac 11:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Given the difficulty of acquiring such an image, I think we can overlook a few quality issues. Time3000 (talk) 11:38, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for supporting, but those aren't quality issues. The dots and lines represent missing information. The quality of the picture is arguably quite perfect. -- JovanCormac 13:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
