Central Park Tower

View promotion Nominated by: —Percival Kestreltail (talk) on 2022-01-09 17:44 (UTC) Scope: Central Park Tower - view from 30 Rockefeller Plaza  Best in Scope.

Much more details and there aren't CAs on this one. --Sebring12Hrs (talk) 09:15, 15 May 2023 (UTC)  Comment At low resolution, this image works best of the three because the entire building is more clearly and more evenly separated from the background.--Cartoffel (talk) 06:49, 7 June 2023 (UTC) Scores: 1.

I have two versions here with slightly different lighting. -- —Percival Kestreltail (talk)  Oppose Low details, and a lot of CAs. --Sebring12Hrs (talk) 09:16, 15 May 2023 (UTC) Scores: 1.

But from what I can tell, most of the other files in this category show the building in its unfinished state (you can tell by the brighter blue protective coating on the glass) and/or looking up from a low angle. The best alternatives to my photos is probably Central Park Tower 2022.jpg or a crop of Midtown Manhattan from Weehawken September 2021 001.jpg. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 21:32, 5 May 2023 (UTC)  Comment Also, I wouldn't be against adding separate scopes for different angles. The building looks similar but not completely the same on all sides. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 21:33, 5 May 2023 (UTC)  Comment Yeah, I thought of that, too. That might be a good thing to do. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:52, 5 May 2023 (UTC)  Oppose The building stands out worse against the slight cloudy sky than on the current VI. Also the resolution is lower. --Milseburg (talk) 14:41, 1 December 2023 (UTC) Scores: 1. Commons:Valued image candidates/Central Park Tower April 2021.jpg: +1 (current VI within same scope) 2.

Symphytum ×uplandicum (Russian Comfrey)

View promotion Nominated by: Slaunger (talk) on 2009-06-03 21:32 (UTC) Scope: Symphytum ×uplandicum (Russian Comfrey) Reason: It is the only image on Commons which shows the entire plant. Parentage: S. asperum × S. officinale. In Denmark, it was previously used as food for pigs, thus it can now be found in clusters here and there. The black roots should be sweet and edible - a property which is also hinted to from the Danish vernacular name, "Foder-Kulsukker", which means "Coal sugar for eating". -- Slaunger (talk)  Support OK for me.

This here is a somewhat conservative crop and maybe an even more aggressive crop could be even better. -- Cartoffel (talk)  Comment Symphytum uplandicum x Bocking 14.jpg also seems nice enough and very useful, but shows a very different stage of growth. -- Cartoffel (talk) 10:51, 6 June 2023 (UTC)  Oppose Intervention not justified the initial image is excellent and has already been judged as such. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:00, 18 June 2023 (UTC)  Oppose Why this crop ? --Sebring12Hrs (talk) 11:54, 8 July 2023 (UTC) Scores: 1.
