•  Info created by 'Ali Ra'if Efendi - uploaded by Durova - nominated by Adam Cuerden -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:06, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Saw this when looking something up in En-wiki's FPs, was shocked to see it wasn't an FP here. -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:06, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Support You get shocked too easily. But it is worthy of FP though. Lycaon (talk) 10:49, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Okay, so I'm a little prone to hyperbole. It's still a lovely example of a major type of Islamic art, and I don't think we have much, if any, Islamic art as an FP yet. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:17, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment Restored version of Image:Ijazah.jpg. Hard work, that was. Durova (talk) 16:20, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Then where is your "support"?--Mbz1 (talk) 06:14, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Dunno. Maybe I'll abstain. ;) Durova (talk) 02:26, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

•  Support Then again, I may be biased :) Muhammad 14:28, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose I do not get what is special about it. Crapload (talk) 00:24, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
  • It's an important type of Islamic art - representation of the prophet - and I believe later all people - was considered taboo in religious decoration, so heavily decorated words became important instead. Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:06, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral Islamic art highly under-represented on Commons. But I am surprised that there is no "support" from Durova. Are there restoration issues still pending with this? --JalalV (talk) 14:44, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Nah, I think it's some sort of personal ethics issue: Durova doesn't like supporting my nominations because we work together so much. However, I didn't actually notice it was her restoration when I decided to nominate it here, nor do I see nominating good work I find by anyone as a problem, so, you know. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:31, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
    • Adam is correct. The pool of restorationists is very small so he and I do work together frequently. About half a year ago I began to worry that someone would construe mischief so I began to back off from Adam's nominations. He thought that was being too cautious, but a few months later someone actually did come along at a sister WMF site and accuse us of corruption. That episode made me very glad I had pulled back as much as I did. Someone on this site has been difficult toward me for over a year; I endeavor to maintain polite distance which is why you don't see me so often. The nomination is flattering and a pleasant surprise, but I already have plenty of featured credits and would rather not run into strife when I do content work. So, recusing.
