Isn't this candidate ineligible for Commons:Featured media candidates ? Commons:Featured media candidates/rules // Eatcha (talk) 13:48, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Is the format ineligible? I doubt it's eligible for FPC, but I don't think the new FPC guidelines were put into effect yet? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:26, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

If it's ineligible for FP candidature, maybe then automatically it's eligible for FM candidature. // Eatcha (talk) 05:37, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Animations have officially been disqualified from FPC, so FMC is the right place. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:56, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

•  Support as long as it's eligible, it seems fine to me - clear and informative. Cmao20 (talk) 19:51, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose for the moment. I like the idea very much, and I think this is the right place for it, but it there are some issues that should be fixed first.

1) The mouse-over functionality is behaving very strangely for me. Default status for labels is highlighted (saturated). Default for the orbits is also highlighted, but as soon as my mouse pointer moves inside the image boundaries, they all turn to be desaturated. When I hover over a label (e.g. "Galileo"), all other labels turn to be not highlighted, and all orbits turn to be highlighted instead. Hovering over an orbit highlights that orbit only, but does nothing to the labels (all remain highlighted) and removes both of the Van Allen Belts completely (though their labels remain). The Graveyard Orbit label is always highlighted/saturated. For reference: I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu 18.04

2) The whole thing is visually busy. It is really difficult to find the actual content between all those giant labels. I'd tone down the visual weight of the axes a bit, and make the orbits stand out more. If you adjust the axis labels to something like Orbital period (hours) you can get rid of the repeated use of hours, km/h and mph (personal opinion: get rid of the miles and mph completely). Adding some white space around the current image could make the whole thing feel less busy and give you some space for proper label placement.

3) I don't really like the color scheme – maybe because it reminds me of the terrible 1990's MS Excel default colors for charts.

Again, great idea, just needs some minor tweaks imho. Cheers, --El Grafo (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose I really like the idea and implementation of this active and animated diagramm. But as the previous voter I see annoying flaws in the mouse over function. There seems to be a "gap" inside the white ring above the "inner van allen belt". I would love to change my vote to "pro" when mouse over behaviour is improved because I really love this kind of diagram. So don't hesitate and improve it :-) -- Dr. Schorsch (talk) 11:58, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
