Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Nations of the UK

Reason
This is one of those diagrams that says so much, so succinctly. You don't need to read the accompanying text in the article to understand exactly what took place from 847 to present, in terms of the broad political entities. I can't vouch for its correctness, and possibly the layout could be improved further (eg, raising the Kingdom of Ireland to the same level as the Kingdom of England, as they're roughly contemporary), but it's pretty good.
Proposed caption
A graphical history of the terms "United Kingdom" and "Republic of Ireland".

Yeah, I noticed that after nominating. Come to think of it, I don't know if the size rules should particularly apply to diagrams - but in any case, this would definitely be better as a .svg. Stevage 02:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe, maybe not, but with this I'm squinting to try to make out details on the maps anyway, so more size would be good. --jjron 04:10, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ultra-Extreme Oppose as a Featured Picture Candidate; it's just another diagram; anyone can replicate the whole thing. In addition, it's fairly disorganised. Furthermore, it's not attractive (that may be irrelevant considering that it's just a diagram). But the biggest issue I have with this image is its size. It does not meet the size requirements at all! -- Altiris Helios Exeunt 09:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
