This image is one of my favourites. It was taken during the war in 1992 in Sarajevo in the partailly destoyed National Library. The cello player is local musician Vedran Smailovic, who often came to play for free at different funerals during the siege despite the fact that funerals were often targetted by Serb forces.

and "as long as they illustrate topics which are not politically motivated" is not exactly what I would call a "free licence" (which is required for commons) -- Gorgo 00:19, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, do you think? As long as an article conforms to NPOV, it can't exactly be political propaganda... but of course Commons has a higher threshold for such things than Wikipedia. QuartierLatin1968 01:35, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Images must be allowed for commercial use, I think political promotion is a form of commercial use. Therefore this image cannot stay. Would be excellent even for poor resolution. --Ikiwaner 06:08, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
"political promotion is a form of commercial use" ? I don't realy understand what you mean by that, but let me point out that this image is still in Cc-by-sa, as agreed by the author. I will contact him, though, to acertain this matter. Rama 06:22, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
commons is not only meant to be a picture-repository for the wikipedias, it is actually meant to be a ressource for free media. See Commons:Criteria for inclusion and Commons:Licensing All material on the commons must be licensed under a free license that allows anyone to use the material for any purpose. -- Gorgo 08:42, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Gorgo, the Cc-by-sa is a free licence. Rama 10:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Mikhail Evstafiev has been kind enough to answer in a way which, I think, favourably acertains the matter. I think that we can now safely abandon licence concerns. Rama 11:03, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Historical report -- Luc Viatour 10:10, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There is a Historical section. I am afraid that with a reasoning as this one there have only images of butterflies and beautiful flowers in "Featured pictures"! This photograph is a strong historical testimony of discovered camp of Buchenwald, soon there will remain only these pictures as testimony because the actors of this sad story will be departed! Luc Viatour 08:48, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully people won't forget about WW2 if we don't support this picture. We vote for great pictures here, that means "technically" aswell. Despite the fact that it shows an important part of history, this one is bad. --Cutter 10:30, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Luc Viatour especially that there's a "big babys eyes" effect in FP. But despite of this I think we should not push images of dead or tortured people outside articles they fit in (what FP does). I feel incapable to judge over technical aspects of this image too. Is it an argument to oppose that the face cannot really be seen? Discussions like this would get zynical. --Ikiwaner 18:59, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly I find it regrettable that criteria and arguments other than technical one should come into play. I support this image because I find it violent and hideous, and by being such, it illustrates very well the horror of what it is depicting. The shadows, the man upside down and visually cut by the barbwire are very eloquent on this respect; the divisions (and diagonales) given by the barbwire, the dark and light zones make a very good composition, technically speaking. Now, it is my own reading of the photograph; Gorgo, for instance, is not agreed and this is fine). But refusing the image because it is not Hello Kitty is quite off the mark, if you ask me. Rama 14:46, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

thank you it is really my opinion but my English is really too bad to express me Luc Viatour 20:55, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is the trainer version of the aircraft, so the flight path could be arbitrary? LoopZilla 11:10, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Well what kind of background would you prefer? It isn't taking any pictures of the mountain range, but it is infact flying away from (most likely) a KC-135 stratotanker after refueling, which is in perfect military context. Whether the mountain range was there for artistic value is niether here or there. Opposing because there was a "pretty" background is illogical. ADSR6581 16:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The best pictures, in my view, complement the subject. One way this can be done is if the background provides a context for the subject or relates to it in some way. For example, an image of a subalpine flower might have tundra or mountains in the background. Alternatively, the background might provide a contrasting color and/or texture. In this case, the background provides neither context for the subject nor helps to emphasize it. Instead, one's eye is drawn to the background. It is more appealing than the subject, in many ways. Also, I agree with Rama's points below. It reminds me of an automobile advertisement with a vehicle on the top of a sandstone column in Monument Valley. Also, nothing connects the subject to the background. It could be a publicity montage of separate images of the plane and the mountain range, just as well as not.

This is no excuse to make the image better, but the reason why the image was cut on the right is easy: You see the "faked wall" on the right which hides reconstruction building work. Right hand of the cut the scene was crowded by building machines. I should probably go there once again to make a really featured picture. ;-) Andreas Tille 05:05, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The image is 800 x 600 pixels. Most images in Commons have many more pixels and hence when viewed at say 8 cm by 6 cms show a great depth of detail. LoopZilla 14:44, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Details is the word. --FML hi 02:38, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Commons is not only about displaying pictures on a (tiny low res) computer screen, but also for reusing them in other projects (e.g. only a part of the picture) or using them in a printed version of wikipedia. So the resolution should be as high as possible and that especially applies to featured pictures. -- Gorgo 22:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is not 100% black and white. Look at the trees on the left, for example.

  •  Oppose It is too similar to the official one (ie the lines are pretty much identical even if the labelling is uglier), and he says the National Rail symbol is copyrighted and will be removed. I much prefer the geographical based tube maps as they are genuinely different and not trying to copy LT. Also it is a png not svg, so it doesnt scale. Justinc 10:27, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I would say "copy Mr. Beck" rather than "copy LT"! I take your points and in light of these would not nominate an image in the future which has such copyright (or trade mark) issues. Other than that, I still like the image and the novel approach. LoopZilla 16:32, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Although the picture has no explanation arrows the picture itself is great. For the other projects a version with text in each language describing the parts would be appreciated though. Especially in e.g. a wikipedia-project this version does not really help the reader to understand the function. Commons does not require this from pictures. --Paddy 22:44, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Added Schematic of a 14 speed gear box "Speedhub" to the image page, which appears to a reasonable description in English LoopZilla 11:32, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Centralisation is not a condition of quality at the contrary Za
I agree, but in this case I think the base is (almost) croped and the centralization is relevant. FML hi 01:18, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The picture has an almost perfect golden ratio balance, I don't think it could be better. I only wont be supporting it because it wasn't created by a Wikipedian, I'm commenting me because it hurts me to see it opposed for this reason. --Gmaxwell 06:32, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
