Five Noble Gases and Hydrogen

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 16 Jul 2010 at 05:47:50 (UTC) Colors produced by electric discharge in hydrogen and the stable noble gases. Glass tubes, with a wire wound over each (which directs the plasma flow).

• 
  Hydrogen
• 
  Helium
• 
  Neon
• 
  Argon
• 
  Krypton
• 
  Xenon

Reason

Very encyclopedic. As all these gases are transparent in their unexcited state, this is the best way to get an image for them. Given the subject, the resolution is ample.

Articles in which this image appears

Noble gas [All but Hydrogen]; Individually used in Hydrogen, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon.

• NOTE Nominated together as all are similar images, of similar quality. It is, however, proposed that they be treated as individual FPs after promotion, not a set. That said, for main page purposes only, I'd suggest using the combined image File:Glowing noble gases.jpg plus File:Hydrogenglow.jpg at a later date.

• Support as nominator --Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Support I love the consistency for these noble gas illustrations and hydrogen. The quality is there, could be higher resolution, but it's acceptable. Great EV. To bad we don't have one for Radon but with it's cost ($6,000 per 15 picograms) I don't think we'll ever see a tube of it glowing... — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 07:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also because the most table isotope only lasts 18 days. It's not really a long-term investment. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Support --George Chernilevsky ^talk 09:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Support- these do not work as a set, as we are clearly missing one (and hydrogen wouldn't be part of the Nobel set anyway). However, I do happily support each of these images being a separate FP. In the same way every species in a genus can easily have a very similar FP, every element in a group can. I think these all warrant a day on the main page separately.

  • Well, we'll never have a set since we'll never get Radon... sadly. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 13:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm offering the combined image as a courtesy to Howcheng, mainly. If he has trouble fitting them all into the schedule, then it'd be good to have the option of the combined image. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Strained Support Interesting, I don't think I've ever even heard of so many images suggested at once. I'd rather just vote for one image like a merger of the two you mentioned in your supplemental note. Obviously each has EV and I guess it would be good to click each image on its respected article and see each is starred as featured, so I guess I reluctantly support this. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 13:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Crap, I missed we also had one for Nitrogen. Well, Feel free to additionally support it, or I'll nominate it later if it's too late to get it added at this time. =) Also Support Nitrogen. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, support that too, obviously. J Milburn (talk) 21:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see why we can't add File:Nitrogen-glow.jpg now, it's same quality level as the others, so support it as well. Just make sure there isn't anymore we're missing. ;-) — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 21:57, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: In the Xenon one, there seems to be a single, strange white pixel to the left of the tube. Can it be eliminated?
