An interesting image, but it should be worked on. The pie slices should go in order from largest to smallest, and labeling should be used instead of the color matching, since many of the colors are similar (lines can be used to point to the thinner slices). I don't have the image editing skills to do this myself`, but it would be nice to see done. Elijya (talk) 07:04, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I find the use of physical order to be most informative, as it lays out the size distribution of moons across the Solar System, without the expecting the reader to remember where they all are. Yes, it could be easier for people to follow with labels on the chart, but on the other hand, it's cleaner as is, and since the order of the legend is the same as the order of the chart, even the colorblind should (hopefully) be able to follow it. kwami (talk) 07:15, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But there's absolutely nothing to indicate that's the order the slices are in. I never would have guessed that if you didn't point it out. Elijya (talk) 06:25, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry! Somehow I never thought to spell it out. kwami (talk) 07:13, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, didn't see this page. Anyway, the text would need to be tweaked as we can't only say "planets" when Charon is included. Another note - could you please change "Luna" to "The Moon" or "Moon"? As established at Moon, it isn't used as a scientific term, so we shouldn't use it here. Thanks. --Ckatzchatspy 09:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
