  • Comment That bubble needs a better explanation - is it part of the phenomenon or not? If not, what exactly is it? --Janke | Talk 09:18, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think it is. MER-C 17:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I edited the image caption. The circle is certainly of the same construction as the arch. Bammesk (talk) 00:48, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There may be more to it than I thought [1]. I have placed an inquiry with the uploader on Commons: [2], and I might change my vote accordingly. Pinging participants @MER-C, Janke, and David Eppstein:, Bammesk (talk) 23:49, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I updated the article's image caption per input from the uploader (author) at: [3], same with the description on Commons: [4]. I think the caption is detailed and unambiguous. Bammesk (talk) 01:46, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose As per above. I can't tell based on the picture nor the caption what I'm even looking at. -- mcshadypl TC 08:00, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
