Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: of dull colours, composition and lack of wow. –Dilaudid 15:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

It's done. Florent Pécassou (talk) 20:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose strongly. At below 2 megapixels it's too small, it's artefacty, it's noisy, it suffers from perspective & barrel distortion, it's overexposed, the light's not right, the composition's unbalanced and the wall in front harms the image. Supporters, could you please explain yourselves? –Dilaudid 14:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orchideae Cymbidium Hybrid

You surely mean DOF, not sharpness, right? The flower that is actually in focus (lowermost) is almost obscenely sharp. --Aqwis (talk) 21:13, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I meant clearly sharpness cause I find the way it has been sharpened makes it odd. We could expect more details on the organs, not something whose colors seem to have been gently smoothed. --B.navez (talk) 14:11, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Radhausplatz in the Altstadt of Düsseldorf, Germany.

It might not be an image of the most exciting subject on earth, but I think I've captured the square in a nice manner. I think the image possesses a dynamic composition and is worthy of becoming a FP.

The lamp is not leaning due to the perspective, otherwise I would have corrected it. The tower is not a church tower, but the tower of the town hall. As for the bright parts..I don't see them. I guess some people are just pickier than others. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 16:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The demolition of a chimney of a former brewery in Frankfurt/Germany. Between the first an last picture are approx 6 seconds, the time it took the chimney to collapse. There are 2 other bad quality versions in recent. This is a new compilation from the original files I´ve found on my harddrive. I am aware that the quality of the chimney is not superb - I needed to crop it out because I didn´t want to lose ist during the collapse due to too high zoom.

The "CSXT Space Shot 2004" by the Civilian Space eXploration Team (CSXT) was the first amateur rocket launch to space. The rocket launched at 11:12AM US Pacific Time on May 17, 2004 at the Black Rock Desert in northwestern Nevada. The rocket reached an altitude of 72 miles (115km), the first amateur rocket to exceed the Karman Line of 62 miles (100km) required to claim a space flight.

  • ✓ Done Watermark removed. Size cannot be improved - this is the resolution my camera was set for at the time of the launch. There is no public image of better resolution. Didn't have a chance to check the resolution setting because I was operating a radio up to T minus one minute (ending with me saying "Range Safety is GO for launch") and then another volunteer handled the radio so I could get a picture. Ikluft (talk) 09:51, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info I should clarify about "no public image of better resolution": I have no better image. There was a still photo taken by a professional photographer which was zoomed in tight on the rocket lifting off while still at the launch pad. This view framed with the sky and mountains is unique - no one else got any view similar to this shot. This is the best resolution available on this view. Ikluft (talk) 10:57, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - It is a really nice photo of a historic event. The 2 mpx rule is not absolute (one can disregard it if there are “strong mitigating reasons”, and I believe there are). --Kjetil_r 09:59, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info FYI - though we'd all have preferred to have an image in higher resolution, this is the same image and resolution that is posted framed in the lobby of the headquarters of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL, US national Amateur Radio organization) in Newington CT.

  •  Comment I would take it the tagging here refers to the exposure on the street lighting but that would be a pity because the subject is clear as a bell and the lights themselves only foreground for me and a very beautiful picture. Are focal areas and lens points not artistic matters? Distorted by a wide angle lens and unsharp about the streetlighting only? I wonder if you compare it to the odler version how nice a picture you may think. Isn't this sort of tag for a machine which seems incapable of producing a nice picture? The glare is a nice effect when seen with the roof lighting. I dare say that of such a beautiful building, no more pretty a picture coulb be taken. The items refered to in this tag may appear to be perspective and glow. (artifacts? I hope you don't mean the leaves :D) ~ R.T.G 03:43, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose There's something really appealing about this picture, from the wide range of colors in contrast with the heavy industrial work that's taking place. You have my wow. However, there's some issues. Quality-wise, the right column is not vertical. Perspective-wise, the angle of view is too wide IMO for rectilinear projection.

    Sorry I don't know well the nomination process, but I assumed that votes were for the improved version, and that any previous votes would count for the improved version too. It seemed logical to me. How do you separate votes, on a separate page ? Does it start fresh ? It's not easy for people not accustomed to FPC :-/ le Korrigan →bla 11:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • IMO it would be best to withdraw the current (original) image and start afresh with the edited one, then without opposing votes. As apart from correcting the tilt, the edit has also more compression, we cannot assume all support votes from before the correction to be carried over.

  •  Comment - I'm sorry to spoil the party but it appears to me that the project of including sounds and videos in the FPC forum is far from getting an adequate consensus. Starting with test nominations and altering the Assessments template in order to accommodate the new featured species is a bit premature, and might be regarded as a way of pushing the decision. I have voted against the idea but will gladly change my opinion if the operational problems I have raised in the discussion page can be solved (for example, what are the proposed guidelines to evaluate sounds?). Maybe you should start by suggesting those criteria before trying to launch the project. The long and carefull preparation phase of Commons:Valued image candidates is an excellent example for all of us on how things should be done. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:49, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think you'll agree that the Assessments template should, at the least, cover the English Wikipedia Featured sound project. The way it's coded, that pretty much sorts out Commons Featured Sounds as well. As for the proposed guidelines, Commons:Featured sound criteria sets out some basic guidelines, which I think are suitable for the early stages of such an endeavour.
      • I don't agree. Your getting paranoid. Nobody is excluding sounds. Only you are trying to force it into every images assessing process. That's different, Adam, that's not excluding. You don't give a Nobel prize of literature on the Academy Awards neither! The assessment template was made for pictures. Please make a new one for sounds. Lycaon (talk) 22:53, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Can we try and avoid criticisms of my statements that criticise points I did not make? To repeat: I set it up so we could mark the sounds featured through en:WP:FS, which pretty much automatically requires preparing the commons version at the same time because of the way the template is set up. K Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:16, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The talk page discussion has been very poorly attended, but the last test passed with six supports. I don't know what that means, so let's keep testing the waters and see if we can figure it out. =) Valued images had the advantage of tapping into a pre-existing strong community, and offering a new way to serve it. Sounds do not have that advantage, so I don't think we can move forwards in the same way. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:09, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, the last test did not pass as there were no fixed preset criteria to judge sound files. Lycaon (talk) 22:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm with Lycaon on this, your proposed criteria don't give any useful hint on how to evaluate sounds effectively. I really think you should try to convince us by designing a set of new and improved criteria covering all possible sound files: noises, nature sounds, works of art, pop music... In the meantime, I have reverted your changes to the Assessment template. I still remember how it was forced upon us by User:White Cat and am not willing to repeat the experience. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 02:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Look, the featured sound project on English Wikipedia was recently practically destroyed by two people harassing all active contributors there until we all left, after I had spent months building it up, and it was about to be included on the English Wikipedia's mainpage.

Having looked into the growth of featured sounds on en-wiki, and considered the problems involved, the main one was that there was no way to let people know that the project even existed, forcing me to act as a one-man advertising band. I am unwilling to go through that again, and am unwilling to make a new project for which there is no pre-existing community unless we can piggyback onto another project for long enough that that community can develop.

Obviously, once the community develops, and the project is known, we can split off again.

Finally, you criticise Featured sounds for having basic criteria. When featured pictures began on cCommons, it had no criteria [4]. Likewise, these are the earliest criteria for the english Wikipedia project (It too went without real standards for a time): [5] Strong, stringent criteria are a sign of a mature project. Featured sounds is a completely new field for commons to go into, we can presume that standards will develop, just like they did for Featured pictures.

Valued images is no real guide here: Valued images was a project set up to service a mature community. featured sound still needs to build that community.

Look, I can understand you being worried about adding sounds to existing projects, but communications on Commons are very poor. While Valued Images only needs a small fraction of a pre-existing community to know it exists, audio will need to build that community frm scratch, and I don't think we can effectively do that, short of us being given a page banner. If it's allowed to piggyback on places where people visit, however, we can develop a community, then split that community off once it matures a little.

There is one other way, but if I'm going to get yelled at horribly simply for making the tiny tweaks necessary for Assessments to have the possibility of dealing ith featured sounds, revitalising MOTD - which, by necessity, would require calling on the translation sevrvices of POTD - is something I'm not going anywhere near. Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:36, 15 November 2008 (UTC) I simply don't see any other way to effectively create a project relating to sounds. Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:27, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  QuestionThe image description indicates that the worm is from in "the Southern North Sea". The Google Earth shows the sea as the location of the image. Was it taken underwater or it is another sampled animal? I am asking because in this delisting nomination Commons:Featured picture candidates/removal/Image:Phyllodoce lineata.jpg user Mr. Mario said "keep" for the reason "Good for underwater pictures." , and you never corrected him. Ever since I was wondering if all those animals were really taken underwater or under Formaldehyde? Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The geolocation indicates the spot where the animal was sampled, and in this case just about where it was photographed on board. But as you can probably see from the unfortunate highlights, this picture was not taken submersed. The other picture you mentioned is a different case as it is a microphotograph, taken with a dedicated camera mounted on a stereo microscope. There the animal was submerged in water (formaldehyde is only used for fixation, not for storage. For the latter we use denaturated ethanol). That shot was made in the lab. Lycaon (talk) 15:12, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confederate States of America banknote

  •  Support because what else will Wikimedia projects use to illustrate Confederate banknotes? I do agree the background should be cropped, but what is it with Commons.

  •  Comment Adam, it is not because an image does not achieve FP status (or whatever other reward for that matter) that it becomes unusable for illustration of an article. If people don't like it on the front page, then so be it! Some don't like naked worms, others don't like old banknotes and some even neither.
