•  Support Ten-lined June Beetle (Polyphylla decemlineata) --Calibas (talk) 06:38, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, suboptimal lighting and part of animal cut off. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 07:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support The head of the "animal" is present (who cares about rear end?) and I like the image!--Mbz1 (talk) 15:15, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose It is a pity that the animal was not taken in its natural environment and with natural light. Under studio conditions one would expect perfect lighting, DOF, sharpness and crop. Lycaon (talk) 16:19, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Studio conditions? This was taken outside in the middle of the night. And what is it's natural environment? Animals have adapted to live around humans, concrete is it's natural environment now. --Calibas (talk) 18:05, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Adult P. decemlineata feed on coniferous leaves (not concrete AFAIK). Try there during daylight. Lycaon (talk) 18:30, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Comment Please use standard support/oppose templates. These other symbols are confusing enumeration of votes and are not according to guidelines. Thanks. Lycaon (talk) 17:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

 No. These are tallied up by a human being who can easily tell it's a support. I'm not really one for following silly rules. Feel free to report me to the admins, they're who I learned about the  Awesome! template from. --Calibas (talk) 18:05, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

• Yes I learned it from administrator too. BTW Hans is an administrator himself.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:08, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Please use the normal support templates. Its not a silly rule. It makes closing work easier. Did you ever close FPCs? No? Then you would know how much work that is. I need about 15-60 minutes (depends on the amount of pictures) for the closing process. So i appreciate using the normal support templates, because then it is easier and faster to count them. Thanks --Simonizer (talk) 14:34, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

May I add it's also a good practice to get used to, in case a bot is written some day. I've though about that already, and one of the challenges is taking votes into account in a proper way. I'm also about to ask FPC nomination to be categorized during nomination process as a first step, because obviously, it will be hard to make a bot categorizing FP properly.

•  Oppose Mainly because it's cut off. Benh (talk) 20:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Crop... sadly... only reason to oppose. --S23678 (talk) 23:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Question what the picture is about?--Juan de Vojníkov (talk) 21:09, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
