•  Support Great informative, professional-looking image. As always. I'm a little unsure about the colours, but they are the sort used in modern biology textbook illustrations, so... Adam Cuerden 19:24, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose - Maybe I'm too picky, but I don't like the apparently random orientation of the segments. For example, why aren't the "Cecum" and "Appendix" segments horizontal? Yes, this is not the first time I make this kind of comment... Alvesgaspar 23:41, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
  • True, it is not the first time you make this coment, it is also true i have already changed the image several times acording to your sugestion. but sorry to say this time i do disagree in your apreciation and that is the reason why i have not changed the image. the reason why the line is not horizontal is becouse none of the other lines are horizontal.-LadyofHats 23:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• um... how does he breath? His liver is up at his armpits.
  • there is a propositive increased space between the organs so that the Pancreas is visible as well as the bile duct. this change of place has as a result a decreased space in the chest, yet this is something you can also find in many other images about the subgect. it is also something allowed in a diagram, since what stays of interest right now is the digestive track and not the respiratory organs, if i was to add the lungs i would have to lower everything to their usual place wich would mean the bile duct would be hardly visible-LadyofHats 23:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose --Chrumps 00:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC) A liver is too high.
  • explained above why. the real place of the liver would be on top and infront of the stomach, covering the gallblader and the bile duct -LadyofHats 23:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

It takes a hell of lot more effort to produce this kind of artwork than it does to make a small microscope image... ;) Lycaon 11:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• Yes it does, but also it is easy to correct little mistakes and be perfectionist. Alvesgaspar 20:46, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• • this diagram is nothing special, actually is a quite usual diagram, it is used in more than 20 pages in 7 diferent projects, and has been translated to 7 languages. and still i think you are right...on the other hand , diagrams are not done to be special, but to be usefull.-LadyofHats 23:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• True, very useful. But it just falls short on wow factor for me. I guess there are two ways a diagram like this could work: it could show accurate spatial relationship, or it could show a functional relationship, what feeds into what for example. I'm not sure about the first, but I don't think it achieves the second. I agree it's useful, I just think it might be a little more beautiful as well. The colors seem chosen to distinguish the differences between the organs, which they do, but the resulting image, it, well, I just think it could be prettier without detracting from its usefulness. And such a diagram could show flow, if desired. Add a little whitespace between organs that don't 'communicate' with each other in some meaningful way. And/or add little arrows showing the passage of food, and/or the passage of bile, and/or whatever else is of interest. It's not bad. I just think it could be better. My apologies for not explaining my vote more fully earlier. Regards, Ben Aveling 12:32, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

  • I Don't think that would improve the picture. As the Lady has stated above this is a schematic representation of the digestive system not a real life reproduction. The aim is to show all organs involved and their connections. It is NOT meant to be an anatomical correct drawing. Lycaon 09:38, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

•  Info- here is a picture of the actual arrengment of organs in the human body,it is in fact a picture of an actual body. and still half of the liver in this picture was removed to have some view in the stomach. if you can understand what is there , how they concet to each other, and where a organ ends and the next starts. then i will do you a diagram that looks this way. Increasing the size of the surrounding outline would result again in organs that are far too small for the body.so it is not the solution... if this is not enough to convince you, then i sugest you google an image on the digestive system. and tell me how this : [1],[2],[3],[4], [5], [6],[7],[8],[9], [10],[11] people can breath.. I mean couldnt you at least make a little bit of research before giving your opinion on a diagram?. (ok the last one was a chiken but wanted to see if you were looking all of them :P)
• i really dont want to be agresive nor pushy, but sometimes you really seem to have no idea what you are talking about. Isnt there a doctor in between you? havent you at least look for your high school book and double check? arent you at least a bit curious? Making this diagrams takes a hell of a lot of work, and time. To come and simply kick it back with a "is nothing special" is more than just ofensive. if it is really nothing special then ok with me, next time i make it with 2 hearts surely you will think it is special then. the point here is that some things doesnt need to be special, diagrams must be simple, clear and illustrative. they should Explain something. the reason why people uses diagrams now a days, even when they require far more work than a picture is becouse in many cases they are more clear, more simple and more illustrative than a picture....I just dont understand you. really-LadyofHats 10:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

•  Info I'm very close to supporting this, and I don't underestimate how much time and skill it has taken, nor do I think it 'not special'. My point is a narrow one: that the outline of the body down both sides gives a misleading impression of where the organs actually go, and suggests a physical position which - as LadyofHats points out - was never the intention. Could you not simply remove the body outline, so that there's no implication of where the organs fit - as for example with [12] ? I would happily then support. But in any event, even if this does not pass, I for one very much appreciate the high level of skill that's been dispayed here. --MichaelMaggs 16:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
