::* OK, I'll try to explain: Why is the horizon (not sure if that's really supposed to be a horizon, but it looks like one) tilted? That doesn't make any sense to me. Why are some of the words smaller/less bold than others (e.g. "Virga" vs. "Anvil")? "Storm movement" is hard to read. "Anvil backshear" is hard to read on that (partly) nearly white background. Same thing with the "of a" in the heading. What purpose does that half transparent background of that heading have anyway? The whole heading is is imho the main reason it looks like an advertisement: In a scientific publication or textbook you would hardly ever find a heading/title ''within'' the illustration itself. Things like that always go into the descriptive text below the image ("Fig. 34: Anatomy of a Supercell. Some more detailed description following here.") – translated to Wikipedia that would be the descriptive text below the thumbnail. Sorry, but at the moment that's an {{o}} '''per Wilfredor'''. Don't get me wrong: The core graphics and the general idea have great potential, but there is just too much unnecessary stuff going on around that. --[[User:El Grafo|El Grafo]] ([[User talk:El Grafo|talk]]) 09:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
