Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Geodesic Sphere
I'm not sure that a full sphere is the best illustration of a geodesic dome, and I might prefer it if it were primarily constructed of hexagons rather than the finer mesh of triangles. That way the necessary closing pentagons would be more obvious. Nevertheless, it is quite eye catching and leads to an interesting subject.

- Comment. Although it was rendered by a GNU program, that doesn't mean the resulting product is a GFDL document. The website from which it came has a copyright statement on it, and does not appear compatible with the GFDL - or have I misread this? Enochlau 21:51, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- You could be right. I interpreted the image page info as the user using the GNU software and source files to render the image, but given that there is an image of the same size on the linked website, it is more likely it was just copied. -- Solipsist 07:08, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose even if it's free; jpg artifacts, and could really stand to be higher resolution. —Korath (Talk) 18:22, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. A nice image, but does not adequately display the hexagonal structure which is the signature of geodesic architecture. That it is a ray-traced image is not sufficient to make it a featured image in the 21st century. Denni☯ 01:07, 2005 Feb 4 (UTC)
