- Reason
- This is an image of a water turbine that caught my eye, and does a good job of explaining the parts in a water turbine that move to generate electrical force from flowing water. Note that this is an .svg file, and therefore while not at the minimum pixel requirement it should not be an issue due to the ability of svg files to be resized as needed without compromising the image quality.

- Comment – I would support if the IDs in the caption were part of the image. The image looks incomplete without them. Bammesk (talk) 01:47, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Bammesk: Usually in an image of this nature the image does not incorporate the IDs is so that the IDs for the numbered parts can be translated into different languages (for example, this M4 Sherman tank image). This is usually the case for images of this nature that are based out of the commons repository, although in fairness to your point there really isn't a reason why an English specific version could not be created. We have several images like this one that do include the English subtitles (for example, England Expects, the V2 ballistic missile, and this 16"/50 gun turret).

- I hear you, but this image is too generic. It isn't obvious that the top is electric. It needs something to distinguish it as a hydroelectric generator. Bammesk (talk) 03:49, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
