Original – The gastrointestinal tract, also called the digestive tract, alimentary canal, or gut, is the system of organs within multicellular animals that takes in food, digests it to extract energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste.

  • Oppose until inaccuracies are addressed. One of our criteria is accuracy and verifiability. Misrepresenting the subject is an issue. Also, aren't there higher quality illustrations from books like Sobotta's Atlas and Text-book of Human Anatomy? Something like this would work much better than the fairly simple SVG we see here. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:30, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: Please note author's explanations at successful Commons promotion to Featured Picture discussion. The graphic was created to emphasize the digestive system and the key labeled organs -- note that there are annotations. Move the mouse pointer over the image to see them. — Cirt (talk) 23:44, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose this is a very high-quality image used on many articles that adds significantly to understanding, and I'm very grateful to the creator for making it. However I'm very uncomfortable promoting it to a "featured picture" because it's factually incorrect, something I feel should be a determining characteristic of featured pictures. Some examples:
    1. Nasal cavity bottom should be flat
    2. Uvula or soft palate?
    3. Epiglottis not labelled
    4. Abdominal contents quite high, as discussed
    5. Esophagus should be behind liver, as discussed
    6. Shape of stomach does not show pylorus
    7. Small intestine appears to be behind ascending colon
    8. Atypical labelling of common bile duct, this usually points to the duct above and the ampulla of Vater is usually where the label currently lies
    9. Ascending colon arrow points to the Taenia coli but descending to a haustra.
  • We may not have many anatomical featured images and so be it, I think the factual standards for accuracy should apply here just as they do in GA and FA. So without trying to diminish the high quality of this work, I appose this nomination for its accuracy. This oppose stands regardless of what commons users thought in 2007. --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:57, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • (E/C) Oppose due to inaccuracies and thus diminished EV, per soupvector and Chris Woodrich. Here are some further concerns:
    • The style is inconsistent. The intestines are shown as exteriors, while the stomach is shown as a hollow cross-section. Furthermore, the stomach's walls are shown in the same colour and confusingly appear continuous with the entire oesophagus and the nasal cavity and phraynx, which are empty spaces. Also, the highlighted colour of the oral cavity loses the fact that it is continuous with the pharynx.
    • It isn't clear what the shading in the liver is supposed to show. At any rate, it doesn't help convey that the gallbladder and bile ducts attach to the "underside" of the liver which is to the back. As with the liver/stomach positions, the entire image needs a better way of representing front and behind, not just simply changing the anatomy, which is misleading.
    • If the anatomical distortions are deliberate, in order to show each structure unobscured, this needs to be properly conveyed.
    • The roof of the mouth is far too thick.
