Support This is a perfect illustration of Pi norro 12:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Some of us have turned off image animation so the first image shouldn't be blank. Dori | Talk 13:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think more than >98% of the wikimedia users display animations. The other <2% know what they did. Therefore voting against this animation due to your personal browser configuration is not fair IMHO. norro 13:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just because you know you have animations off doesn't mean that you can know when a blank space is part of an animation. There is no good reason to have the first animation blank for any animation, let alone featured ones. I think it's a good enough reason, and I rarely oppose candidates. Dori | Talk 14:14, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why not move the blank frame to the end of the sequence? The result would look the same, but without the problem Dori notes - MPF 13:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support because it is clear and illustrative of the concept, although I found the wheel somehow kitsch... Alvesgaspar 14:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose-- I think, John Reid, that this could be a very heplful illustration. It took me two cycles through to figure out what was going on because it moves so quickly. The design of the wheel is a little kitsch and distracting. I reccomend making it slower and simpler. But great work. Stephen.job 14:48, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just another thing I notice that is confusing: At the beginning of the animation, when the four circles appear from left to right, it is very quick and confusing. Stephen.job 14:49, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support Agree with norro --SvonHalenbach 15:05, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too quick. If you slow the animation i'll support --Jacopo86 18:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree that it's too quick, but otherwise very nice. /Daniel78 22:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose doesn't have a professional look (unlike the one just above for instance) and runs too fast. Lycaon 07:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Very good explanation of the concept even if it can be improved (I agree that is a bit too fast). Romary 08:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. --Ziga 20:34, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - ditto to Jacopo86 - MPF 13:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Too fast? Watch it several times if needed ;) Scoo 17:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New version (right) - not featured

Comment I made a slower version, without white first picture. -- Arpad Horvath 15:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I can hardly see any difference, how much slower is it ? /Daniel78 14:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the new one is actually very slightly (by about maybe a quarter of a second) faster than the old - just watched them together over several cycles and the right-hand one slowly overtook the left-hand one - MPF 22:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - As I can't see that it's slower my oppose stands. /Daniel78 19:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Nice idea but execution suffers from excess of colors – I counted seven hues – and somewhat cluttered layout. Needs a cleanup. -- Dontpanic 15:36, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support good work!!! Amada44 20:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alvesgaspar 22:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry; the animation is still not clear to me. The symbol for pi appears only after the entire thing is unrolled, at which point the animation has to be watched again to figure out exactly what's going on. And with 7 hues, as noted above, this is rather clutered. Stephen.job 14:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
