  • Comment I'm not sure what the "meeting point" labelled in the diagram is, and the article doesn't provide any information on this. MChesterMC (talk) 10:45, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Wasn't the tunnel built from both sides and met in the middle? Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:59, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It is not obvious (unless you already know the tunnel length) whether the "100 m" and "5 km" scales refer to one ruler subdivision or to the whole length of the ruler. Also, it is not clear why the ruler subdivisions are of unequal lengths. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.83.10 (talk) 17:18, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose for now as per scale comment from unsigned user. Is the whole bar supposed to represent 100m? Or just one of the segments of the bar? I suspect it's the whole bar, so why even have black and white segments? Mattximus (talk) 21:18, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • What I'm more worried about is that the vertical bar appears to be made of segments of varying sizes. Dividing the bar into segments is a convention (for example, on the 5km bar, it gives the user 1km easily); dividing it unevenly isn't. Also, the distance is usually put on top of the full bar, so that it stretches over more than one segment. (Correct me if I'm wrong on this) Adam Cuerden (talk) 09:49, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
