  •  Oppose I think the scope somehow collides with the one of your (beautiful) valued set The deterioration of an iceberg, which illustrates the process far better than this picture (since the scope is about a dynamic process, a set seems more appropriate indeed). To be precise, to me "melting" is included in "deterioration" (for an iceberg). --Eusebius (talk) 06:17, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment I see your point, but I think the processes illustrated are quite different. In the deterioration image set the evident processes leading to deterioration is calving and melting due to contact with sea water, whereas here, we see melting water on top of the iceberg due to melting caused by the warmer atmosphere as well as irradiation from the sun. Of course, in both cases, all processes are at work diminishing the iceberg, only the image set and this photo illustrates different processes. Would it help if the scope was more specific to the melting caused by air and irradiation? -- Slaunger (talk) 04:37, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It is difficult to discuss the detail level of a scope. I feel that "deterioration of an iceberg" is precise enough, and that any sub-scope would be too much. But I'm forced to rely on my personal opinion here... --Eusebius (talk) 06:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Although it probably will not affect your view on nomination, I have changed the scope to something slightly more specific. -- Slaunger (talk) 10:14, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
