Bad/Wrong Picture[edit]

I posted this to the main talk page for HBV, but this article also uses this horrendous picture. Honestly, it would be better to have no picture. At least that wouldn't give people wrong information. Below is a copy of what I wrote on the HBV talk page:

The 'simplified' picture in the morphology section is pretty bad and should probably be changed or removed, as it might confuse people seeking to visualize the HBV particle. In the picture, HBcAg or 'Core' antigen is labeled as a series of red circles surrounding a blue icosahedron containing DNA. In actuality, the HBcAg protein actually is what the icosahedral capsid is built from. The picture kind of implies that the icosahedral capsid is constructed of some un-named molecules, then surrounded by a sphere of HBcAg proteins; which is not correct 72.94.61.107 (talk) 06:46, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
