Circulatory System[edit]

Original - simplified diagram of the human Circulatory system in anterior view
Reason
Excellent image, high EV, illustrates concept in the best way possible, note that it is an SVG so it can be enlarged and meets the size requirement. Already a valued picture, deserves more though.

  • Support as nominator --  Nezzadar ☎   22:35, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, technically excellent and very clear. However, I would like confirmation from someone a little more familiar with the subject that nothing major has been missed, and nothing has been mislabelled. J Milburn (talk) 23:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think that that was discussed in the VP nomination. At least I remember that. I'll go check.   Nezzadar ☎   00:32, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Nope, just a spelling error in the VP. I can ask around, maybe Wikipedia it, oh wait, never mind, that won't work... Umm.   Nezzadar ☎   00:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmed One of the many benefits of a pre-med roommate is that I can ask him these things. Everything looks good. The one thing he said was that the pulmonary vein and pulmonary arteries are reversed in color from the rest of the system, which the diagram reflects, so LadyofHats nailed it 100%.   Nezzadar ☎   01:33, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Problems:
  • the testicularis vein and artery should be called gonadal vein and artery to maintain gender neutrality, otherwise label the diagram as male
  • the hepatic vein label in the picture is too ambiguous; it's pointing to an area where there's two other unlabeled veins; if the label were to instead point to all three veins, then it could correctly be called "hepatic veins"
  • the current label vena cava should be the inferior vena cava, and the superior vena cava should be labeled
  • why not label the brachiocephalic veins? They are the last two branches before the superior vena cava
  • if the median antebranchial vein is gonna be labeled, ya might as well label the cephalic vein (the major vein in the lower arm, and prominent on the diagram, but unlabeled), and also the ulnar vein, especially since the ulnar artery is labeled
  • the medial plantar vein is shown but unlabeled
  • is it just me or is the subjects left side between armpit and hip bumpy? Sasata (talk) 02:27, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suspending Nomination until someone else can fix this. Aye. I see. Well now you are the expert. I however am not an SVG editor, so I cannot change this. If you can find someone to fix these issues, I would be really happy. LadyofHats seems to be unavailable right now though.   Nezzadar ☎   02:41, 20 October 2009 (UTC) P.S. My roommate is going down for this. Grrr.[reply]

I can't really take credit, I asked my wife, who's a physician :) Sasata (talk) 02:44, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is your wife, by chance, also an SVG image editor? Becuase we need one now. He eh.   Nezzadar ☎   03:54, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Are you requesting this be suspended, or are you withdrawing it? If you want it suspended I suggest you have some idea of who is going to edit it first... There's no point indefinitely suspending things. --jjron (talk) 07:38, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Changing some text can't be that difficult, surely? J Milburn (talk) 11:28, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On it. I'll get to this after I fix some of the above submissions. In the mean time, I am really having trouble updating other user's photos. See below.   Nezzadar ☎   14:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently, it can be that difficult. Can someone else fix this, I tried and couldn't even open the damn images correctly. LadyofHats uses Adobe Illustrator, so it isn't easy at all for me.   Nezzadar ☎   15:08, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've fixed most of the above mentioned issues with the SVG plus a few more:
  • Fixed the disfigured right side of the body; don't know what the original maker was doing there.
  • Added Decending aorta label and moved Aorta above the heart
  • Added Superior vena cava label
  • Moved hepatic vein label to address Sasata's issue
  • Removed Median antebranchial vein label and added Cephalic vein label on forearm in addtion to the one at shoulder. I don't think the Radial and Ulnar veins are necessary as one can infer their position from their respective arteries
  • Added the Brachiocephalic vein. --Jinman11 (talk) 01:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Shoot, this was my first time uploading an SVG to wikipedia; what did I do to the text? --Jinman11 (talk) 01:34, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Strong work! The heart label line is thicker then the rest, not sure if that was intentional or not, but either way it gets my vote. Sasata (talk) 06:51, 21 October 2009 (UTC) (p.s. just noticed that one of the Vena's is erroneously capitalized, please fix, thanks Sasata (talk) 06:53, 21 October 2009 (UTC))[reply]
  • Support Definitely better than a VP. upstateNYer 11:53, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note to closer: If this passes, remember to remove it from all the VP archives, decrement the count by 1, remove the VP template, etc. upstateNYer 11:54, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: As per Sasata above, one of the "vena"s is capitalised, while the other isn't. Also, should the "aorta" in "Descending Aorta" be capitalised? J Milburn (talk) 18:54, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed both. And the double thick line for the heart is because it deals with both oxygenated (red) and deoxygenated (blue) blood. --Jinman11 (talk) 19:35, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
