•  Oppose That's a really nice animation, but in my opinion not excellent. The crucial point here is how to get to the 0.07 and that's is the only thing, that probably remains unclear to the layman. That has to be improved. Furtermore I think, animating is not necassary here. The last frame would be sufficient. Perhaps as SVG :) norro 17:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Info The "0,07" is read directly in the vernier (which is graduated in 1/100 cm), at the exact point where there is a coincidence between segments of the vernier scale and the main scale. - Alvesgaspar 17:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes, I know that, but I can't imagine a layman understanding that. There is no hint, why it's 0,07. There is nothing in that animation that shows, what you explained here in written form. I like this animation, but I think, it can be improved to be really helpful for understanding how a caliper is used. norro 18:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
•  Support. On second thought, the caption can clarify this. I cannot come up with a better way to visualize the "0,07" either :-). --Dschwen 18:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

•  Oppose Ss181292 20:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC) - Ack norro.
•  Oppose aggree with norro, I also don't see why it has to be an animation, instead of just the last image -- Gorgo 00:57, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
•  Supportmade very nice--SimONE 07:36, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
•  Info The main objective of the animation is to show how the movable parts work: the verniers, as well as the outside jaws (big), the inside jaws (small) and the depth probe. A statitic svg version with legends is on the way. But no explanations will be given on how to read the verniers. I agree with Dschwen: it is better to use a good caption.

•  Support per se it belongs to featured. a separate fixed image can always be created and promoted later. It took me ages to understand the 0,07 but again, agree with others above: should be part of explanatory text. --Diligent 09:54, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
•  Neutral - would like to have the last frame stay put for 3 or 4 seconds longer so one has time to look at the vernier scale more closely. It vanishes before you can see it properly. But otherwise very nice. - MPF 10:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  •  Comment With the new version you have now much more time to look at the vernier. - Alvesgaspar 23:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
•  Neutral Would be more explicit about this 0.07 thing if you had two frames for the 2.4 cm and the 0.07 later (perhaps seeing the arrow sliding along the marks until it find the two which match...). But it's already very good so I'll support anyway :) Rama 10:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  •  Comment That is a smart suggestion, putting the arrow sliding along the marks, thank you. But I'm not sure I have the time to do it now. Alvesgaspar 12:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose SVG would be much better. --Erina 16:07, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

•  Info OK, here is an improved version which (I hope) will satisfy some critics. Thank you again, Rama. - Alvesgaspar 16:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

*  Oppose It appears that the line above '0.07' moved a bit during animation to make them line up. -- Lerdsuwa 18:05, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

• •  Info Thank you, it's fixed now Alvesgaspar 18:52, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
•  Support Well made, informative, good representation that leads to understanding use. Perhaps naming the scales would help --Tomascastelazo 04:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
