Comment: How big are these things? J Milburn (talk) 20:59, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd say medium size for a seed[1]. --I'ḏ♥One 21:15, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - They look about the size of emu eggs here. Matthewedwards : Chat 02:30, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I thought they looked the size of bowling balls! No sense of scale here is a problem. JFitch (talk) 09:31, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - That's exactly what I was thinking. Weird. J Milburn (talk) 11:44, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ - Agree, needs scale. Sasata (talk) 17:48, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Any of you have a suggestion for how that can be done? --I'ḏ♥One 18:07, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Get a bunch of seeds, measure them, and use that info to add a scale marker in the image with a drawing program. Or, find a reliable source that gives the seed length. Be explicit in the image description what was done to determine the scale. Sasata (talk)
Conditional support Get a scale and you have my vote. Gut Monk (talk) 00:04, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- LoL waiting on the photographer... --I'ḏ ♥One 03:18, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Solved?. I measured some of the same seeds in the photo before adding the graphic scale. Thank you all for considering it and specially IdLoveOne for nominating the picture and notifying me the debate. ... And sorry for my bad English. Luis Fernández García
