Reason

A second nomination for the file. During and since the first I've taken on board some of the points that were raised (e.g. Wilhelmshaven; Cologne). I feel it's a strong file that was held back by be tested against being even better. Whilst I don't feel that's an unfair standard on SVGs, editable as they are, I think there comes a point where we've done what we can and depending on what you guys can come up with by way of criticism that point may have been reached.

• Support as before. It improved a lot during the first nom. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 17:58, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Support This is an excellent map which fully meets the FP criteria. Nick-D (talk) 10:50, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Sorry, but tiny, weak oppose. It is improved from the previous version, but its graphics is not really appealing with the 3x repetition of "Battle of Jutland", 2x the north sign, the distracting four legend/title boxes each of different size, and the capital city of Oslo not labelled. Still find it confusing on a map of a 1916 battle, to see labels such as "1917" with the same font, and both combatants being green, but I understand this might be a question of personal taste, while veterans would be fine. Most of all, as a new reader, I don't find the map facilitating the understanding of the article. --ELEKHH^T 13:34, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have updadted it to include Kristiania (with a note on the description mentioning that it was the name for what is now Oslo) and I have made the boxes in the side panels the same size, removed two instances of the "Battle of Jutland" header and shrunk the north arrows - tin my opinion they're important for continuity between the panels. I have added a note to the filedesc about military timings. (The image didn't seem to update, but I think it's a purging sort of a problem. If Kristiania isn't marked, then that is not the new version.) Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 18:09, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think all those small simplifications make the map clearer, so I no longer oppose. --ELEKHH^T 21:13, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Support, excellent map. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 15:16, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Support I'm no expert on the Battle of Jutland but as a non-expert I think I get a reasonable idea of the ships' movements from this map. I see no glaring technical issues. There are a few things that I might tweak if this was my own map but I think this is good enough as it is. --Pine^✉ 20:17, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
