Linee guida per candidare un'immagine

[edit]

È importante leggere le linee guida prima di candidare un'immagine.

A seguito è riportato un riassunto dei punti essenziali per candidare e valutare le immagini candidate:

  • Risoluzione - Le fotografie con una risoluzione inferiore a 2 milioni di pixel vengono generalmente rifiutate e rimosse ad eccezione di motivi contrari di particolare importanza. Si noti che le immagini con risoluzione 1600 x 1200 hanno 1.92 Mpx, appena inferiore al limite minimo di 2Mpx.
Ricordiamo che le immagini caricate su Commons vengono visualizzate non solo su schermi tradizionali di PC ma sono utilizzate anche per stampa e visualizzazione su schermi ad alta risoluzione. Non possiamo certo prevedere quali tecnologie verranno utilizzate nel futuro quindi è importante che le immagini scelte per la vetrina abbiano una risoluzione quanto più alta è possibile.
  • Scansioni - È consigliabile seguire la guida alla scansione, che propone suggerimenti per l'ottenimento di immagini ottimali
  • Fuoco - ovviamente ogni oggetto significativo dell'immagine deve essere ben definito e a fuoco.
  • Primo piano e sfondo - Oggetti in primissimo piano o di sfondo possono distrarre dalla vista dal oggetto principale dell'immagine. È il caso di controllare se qualche elemento in primo piano non copra nessun elemento importante e che lo sfondo non distolga l'attenzione e renda confusa l'immagine (per esempio evitare che vi sia una luce forte alle spalle di un viso)
  • Qualità generale - le immagini candidate devono essere di alta qualità tecnica.
  • Le manipolazioni digitali non devono essere effettuate per ingannare, ma vanno usate solo limitatamente e con cura per correggere difetti fotografici. Le manipolazioni comunemente accettate sono il ritaglio e la correzione di prospettiva, focale, colore ed esposizione. Manipolazioni più estese, come può essere la rimozione di un elemento di distrazione dello sfondo, vanno chiaramente descritte nel testo di descrizione per mezzo del template {{Retouched picture}}. Manipolazioni non descritte o descritte in modo insufficiente non permettono la candidatura alla vetrina.
  • Valore - il nostro principale obiettivo è eleggere le immagini con il maggior valore rispetto a tutte le loro simili. Le immagini devono essere in qualche modo speciali, perciò fai attenzione:
    • quasi tutti i tramonti sono esteticamente piacevoli, infatti molte immagini sono simili alle altre,
    • gli scatti notturni sono gradevoli ma generalmente le foto scattate di giorno mostrano molti più dettagli,
    • non tutte le belle foto hanno in realtà un valore che non sia esclusivamente personale.

Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto tecnico abbiamo come parametri l'esposizione, la composizione, il controllo del movimento e la profondità di campo.

  • L'esposizione si riferisce alla combinazione tra tempo di esposizione e diaframma. Questa combinazione permette generalmente di avere una curva di tono che è in grado di rappresentare ombre e luci con un dettaglio accettabile. Questa curva viene detta latitudine di posa. Un'immagine può essere nella banda bassa, media o alta. Le fotocamere digitali (e le loro foto) hanno una latitudine di posa più stretta delle macchine a pellicola. La mancanza di dettagli nelle zone d'ombra non è necessariamente una caratteristica negativa. Infatti questa può essere parte dell'effetto desiderato, mentre ampie zone eccessivamente sovraesposte possono distrarre la vista.
  • La composizione si riferisce alla distribuzione degli elementi nell'immagine. La “Regola dei Terzi” è una buona linea guida per la composizione e eredita molto dagli studi di disegno. Il concetto principale considera l'immagine divisa con due linee orizzontali e due verticali, che dividono l'immagine in tre parti. Generalmente se l'oggetto viene centrato si ha un effetto poco interessante, mentre se l'oggetto viene posizionato in uno dei punti di interesse, ovvero l'intersezione delle quattro linee, si ottiene un effetto decisamente migliore. Le linee dell'orizzonte infatti non dovrebbero essere posizionate nel centro, perché taglierebbero la foto a metà; è invece preferibile scegliere una delle linee orizzontali. Complessivamente bisogna tendere a creare un'immagine dinamica.
  • Il controllo del movimento si riferisce al modo viene rappresentato il movimento nell'immagine. Il movimento può essere bloccato (seguito dalla fotocamera) oppure può essere lasciato scorrere, tuttavia l'oggetto principale dell'immagine deve essere visibile. Nessuna delle due tecniche è migliore dell'altra, la buona riuscita dipende esclusivamente dal tipo di effetto ricercato. Per esempio, fotografando una vettura da corsa che appare statica in relazione allo sfondo, che invece scorre sul retro, si ottiene l'oggetto principale in una condizione statica mentre lo sfondo crea il senso di movimento. (questa tecnica è chiamata "panning"). D'altra parte, fotografando un giocatore di basket in salto, bloccato in relazione a tutto il resto dello sfondo, si otterrebbe un buono scatto proprio per la posa innaturale.
  • La profondità di campo (PdC o DOF dall'inglese depth of field) è la distanza davanti e dietro il soggetto principale che appare nitida (a fuoco). Questo parametro viene scelto a seconda delle necessità di ogni immagine e può parimenti migliorare o peggiorare la qualità di una fotografia. Generalmente viene utilizzata una PdC ridotta per mettere al centro dell'attenzione il soggetto principale, separandolo da tutto il resto dello sfondo. Invece viene utilizzata una grande PdC per enfatizzare la profondità di un immagine. Gli obiettivi grandangolari in genere una grande PdC mentre i teleobiettivi ne hanno una decisamente ridotta. In gran parte la PdC dipende dall'apertura del diaframma: aumenta con il diminuire dell'apertura e viceversa.

Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto grafico prendiamo invece in considerazione nitidezza, profondità, colore, superficie, prospettiva, bilanciamento, proporzione, ecc.

  • La nitidezza si riferisce alle linee di contorno del soggetto principale.
  • La profondità si riferisce alla qualità dell'aspetto tridimensionale del soggetto. Ciò si ottiene soprattutto tramite un'adeguata illuminazione laterale (come quella della prima mattinata o del tardo pomeriggio) e non esclusivamente frontale, al fine di evitare l'appiattimento del soggetto.
  • Il colore è un elemento molto importante e non deve essere né troppo né poco saturo.
  • La superficie si riferisce alla qualità della superficie degli oggetti fotografati.
  • La prospettiva si riferisce all'angolazione dalla quale è stata scattata la fotografia. Essa crea una serie di rette immaginarie che seguono gli spigoli paralleli degli oggetti e si incontrano in un punto che può essere dentro o fuori l'immagine.
  • Il bilanciamento si riferisce alla disposizione degli oggetti nell'immagine e può essere equilibrato o porre maggior peso verso una direzione.
  • La proporzione si riferisce alla relazione tra le dimensioni degli oggetti all'interno dell'immagine. Generalmente si tende a rappresentare oggetti con ridotta relazione, ma una buona tecnica è quella di rappresentare gli oggetti di dimensioni minori in modo più esteso, contrariamente a quanto è in realtà. Per esempio, un piccolo fiore che viene rappresentato con le stesse dimensioni di una grande montagna: questa tecnica viene chiamata inversione di scala.
Ovviamente, non tutte le caratteristiche devono essere necessariamente presenti. Le immagini possono essere giudicate sia per una sola caratteristica che per diverse caratteristiche, anche contemporaneamente.
  • Significato simbolico o rilevanza particolare …Le guerre d'opinione possono iniziare!…. Va ricordato che una pessima fotografia di un soggetto difficilissimo da fotografare è sicuramente migliore di un'immagine ordinaria e tradizionale (come un comune tramonto).
Le immagini possono essere scelte da un fotografo o da un osservatore anche per motivi culturali, tenendo però sempre conto del contesto dello scatto e non di quello dell'osservatore. Un'immagine inoltre può "parlare" alle persone e avere la capacità di evocare emozioni, che tuttavia non devono essere necessariamente piacevoli.

Per ottimizzare le possibilità di successo delle candidature delle tue immagini è consigliabile leggere le linee guida complete.

Candidare un'immagine alla rimozione dalla vetrina

[edit]

Gli standard della vetrina cambiano col tempo. Può succedere che un'immagine che era stata eletta per la vetrina non sia più adatta agli standard attuali.

Questa lista è perciò composta dalle immagini considerate non più adatte a rimanere nella vetrina. Vota:

  • {{Mantenere}}  Keep per far sì che l'immagine rimanga nella vetrina.
  • {{Rimuovere}}  Oppose per far sì che l'immagine venga rimossa dalla vetrina.

Se consideri che un'immagine non rispetti più i criteri delle immagini in vetrina, candidala per la rimozione copiando il nome dell'immagine dentro questa casella di testo (includendo il prefisso dell' Image:) a seguito del testo già presente in essa:


Nella pagina appena creata includi:

  • Le informazioni sull'origine dell'immagine (autore dell'immagine, autore della candidatura);
  • Un collegamento all'iniziale candidatura per l'inserimento nella vetrina (che va inserito sotto ==Collegamenti== nella descrizione dell'immagine);
  • Il motivo per cui l'hai candidata per la rimozione dalla vetrina e il tuo Nome utente.

Dopo aver fatto ciò devi inserire manualmente un collegamento alla pagina creata all'inizio della lista di rimozione dalla vetrina.

Politica di elezione per la vetrina

[edit]

Regole generali

[edit]
  1. Il periodo di votazione è di 9 giorni completi, a partire dalla candidatura. I risultato verrà determinato alla fine di questo periodo. I voti aggiunti il decimo giorno o a seguito non verranno considerati.
  2. Sono benvenuti i contributori anonimi.
  3. I contributi di anonimi alle discussioni sono benvenuti.
  4. I voti di contributori anonimi non saranno accettati.
  5. La candidatura non conta come voto. Il voto di supporto va esplicitato.
  6. Gli autori delle candidature possono ritirare le loro immagini candidate in ogni momento. Questo si ottiene scrivendo semplicemente "I withdraw my nomination" (in inglese: ritiro la mia candidatura)
    o aggiungendo il testo {{withdraw|~~~~}}.
  7. Ricorda che l'obiettivo del progetto Wikimedia Commons è di costruire una raccolta di immagini utilizzabili da tutti i progetti Wikimedia, inclusi possibili progetti futuri. Perciò non bisogna pensare che questo sia una raccolta dedicata esclusivamente al progetto Wikipedia e per tanto le immagini non vanno valutate in funzione di ciò.
  8. Le immagini vengono rimosse dalla lista di candidature se non hanno voti a supporto (escluso quello dell'autore della candidatura) entro il quinto giorno dalla candidatura (La regola del quinto giorno)
  9. Le immagini dotate del template {{FPX}} non devono essere rimosse dalla lista entro le 48 ore successive al momento in cui è stato applicato il template, purchè non vi sia nessun voto a supporto oltre quello dell'autore della candidatura.

Regole di ammissione e rimozione dalla vetrina

[edit]

Un'immagine candidata viene ammessa alla vetrina se si verificano le seguenti condizioni:

  1. La licenza è adeguata (ovviamente).
  2. Se ha almeno 5 voti a supporto.
  3. Se il rapporto tra voti pro/contro è almeno 2/1 (se ha due terzi di maggioranza).
  4. Non possono essere ammessi alla vetrina diverse versioni della stessa immagine, ne deve essere scelta una sola versione.

I criteri per la rimozione dalla vetrina sono gli stessi per l'ammissione ad essa, compreso il periodo di voto e la regola del quinto giorno (vedi nelle Regole generali).

Ogni utente esperto può portare a termine una votazione: per istruzioni su come compiere questa operazione vedi la guida per portare a termina la votazione.

Infine, sii cortese

[edit]

Per piacere non dimenticare che l'immagine che stai giudicando è frutto del lavoro di qualcuno. Evita di usare frasi come è orribile: se devi opporti non fare spiacevoli considerazioni. Inoltre ricorda che è necessario scrivere in inglese se vuoi essere compreso dagli altri utenti e che il tuo utilizzo di questa lingua e quello degli altri utenti può comunque generare incomprensioni se non si ha un'ottima conoscenza, perciò scegli le parole con cura.

Buon voto… e ricorda che.... tutte le regole possono avere qualche eccezione.

  •  Comment Thank you for the nomination, Aristeas! I’m afraid though I fumbled the description and filename, as this image was taken at sunrise, not sunset… I assume it’s easier to change the filename after the nomination runs its course? It was a beautiful but very cold morning, I remember having to hike down the hill holding the camera and tripod, as my hands were too stiff too unzip the backpack :) —Julesvernex2 (talk) 17:45, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Such things just happen … Thank you for the correction, Julesvernex2! Yes, normally it’s easier to change the filename later, but to avoid any possible further confusion I have taken the liberty to rename both your image and this nomination right now (I hope I got all links right, too). – Aristeas (talk) 17:55, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • +1 Great panning effect, but the tilt gives the impression the car is going up a hill. I will support this nomination if it is fixed. As the camera sensor is capable of more pixels, I assume the picture was cropped on both sizes? -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I genuinely don't know how accurate the tilt is, Donington park is reasonably hilly there but I think it's probably at least exaggerated. I personally like it to make it feel dynamic, but it might not be preferable for encyclopedic purposes. Because, as you say, I have plenty of space to straighten it in the crop, so I will add a straight version as an alternative. — Julian H.✈ 07:45, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Because I believe we should not offer this "honor" to a user who escapes their ban. The image should not become a POTD, nor decorate our galleries, and it's better if re-uses are limited.
  2. Like GRDN711 on the original nomination I agree the picture has a rather low wow factor. During the discussion on the FPC talk page, I was wondering if this photo had a chance to become a POTY finalist, and honestly believe not, because of the harsh light and strong shadows. Of course my subjective guess can be wrong, but in that case, it is another reason to delist, because the photo uploaded by a supposedly blocked user should definitely not enter the "Picture of the Year" competition to get such a reward.
Sorry for all those who liked this picture, and especially Cmao20 the impeccable nominator who suggested this photo in good faith and now finds himself a bit tarnished by the scandal. It's just bad luck.
Thanks, Radomianin, for the initiative -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:16, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do feel like 'it's not a good enough photo to be FP' is probably not a fair reason to delist in this case, honestly. We should focus our discussion entirely on whether the photo should remain FP seeing it was taken by a banned sockpuppet user. The picture was only promoted a month ago and people had ample opportunity to vote on its quality at that time. Cmao20 (talk) 21:36, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dear Cmao20, you're right and I completely understand your instasfaction to hear today negative opinions being expressed when they had previously kept quiet. However, you can also understand 2 things, in this new situation: 1) all the previously tangential opinions no longer hesitate to express their reservations (this is my case personally, who had not supported) and similarly some who had supported may simply abstain this second time (if they don't oppose), 2) there is sometimes a form of natural lottery in a panel of daily voters on FPC. It is not always the same ones who vote, and the score can change depending on the arguments and influences. Look at the FPs renominated last time, some scores turned out to be very different. Example 17 may 2021 : score 7-3, then 13 January 2022 : score 13-1. How do you explain that? Or even more: score 7-4 then score 11-0. So there is a bit of random. Best regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:06, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, I agree. The process is invariably a bit random and that’s unavoidable. And it’s not necessarily even a bad thing - it may result in some pictures failing that should probably have passed, and some passing that should have failed, but it averages out to the process generally working very well, and I do think we generally get a high standard of photos passing. I just think this delist request should be focussed on the matter of whether it’s appropriate to feature a photo uploaded by a sockpuppet. Wolverine XI had the opportunity to speak up as to the photo’s quality when it was initially nominated, and he didn’t. If we start re-evaluating the quality of images only a month after they were passed, I fear that the FP galleries would forever be in flux. Anyway, I think I’ll leave it here as I don’t feel inclined to defend Livio’s photos any longer. Cmao20 (talk) 04:15, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps "not on par" has no relation with "quality"? "Not on par with the rest of the FPs" possibly means that the rest of the FPs were uploaded by authorized users? Or because the rest of the FPs will be fair POTY candidates, legitimate POTD, etc.?
  •  Delist per nom.--Peulle (talk) 08:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Now this is a real dilemma. One the one hand I fully agree with Radomianin, Basile, et all. that we should not promote any further photos by Livioandronico2013/Paris Orlando/Σπάρτακος/Architas/Commonists/NikonZ7II/Merulana/PaestumPaestum/etc. etc. etc., according to the results of the discussion after the Commonists unmasking in 2021. On the other hand Cmao20 is absolutely right that this photo is kind of a special case, as it was neither nominated by Livio themselves nor did Livio even vote on it. IMHO we should not delist the image for quality/aesthetical reasons because these aspects have been fairly discussed in the original nomination just a month ago. Anybody can always open a regular ‘delist’ nomination, but normally this should be done only (a) for procedural/rule-related reasons – like here –, (b) when one discovers major flaws in a FP which were not mentioned in the original nomination discussion, or (c) after a fairly long period when our technical requirements have changed significantly. Delisting recently promoted FPs ‘on the fly’ would open a can of worms with arbitray ‘But I did not like that FP’ discussions and block FPC. But of course I am fine with a procedural demoting if the majority resolves to do so. In any case many thanks to A.Savin, Basile, Cmao20, Radomianin and all other participants for their commitment to settle this unpleasant affair! – Aristeas (talk) 10:19, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I am sorry to have caused such an intense discussion with this nomination. Perhaps I should have waited a little longer until there were other suggestions on the FPC discussion page. I am also sorry that a recently successfully promoted photo is now the reason for a delisting. The Livioandronico2013 scandal happened long before I was active on Commons, but I noticed the Commonists affair and took the opportunity to read through all the discussion pages about how Livioandronico2013 got banned. Until then, I didn't even know what a sock puppet was. Since we all work in this forum with good and faithful intentions, I personally think it is very important not to give room to proven or obvious frauds. This affects not only the relationships between contributors, but also the policies of the Wikimedia Foundation. While such removals are unpleasant for everyone involved, they must be done. I would also like to echo Cmao20's and Aristeas' thoughts that the reason for this delisting nomination is entirely due to sockpuppet abuse. It has nothing to do with technical, compositional, or any other aspect of the photo in question. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 14:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why? I am happy to see this picture be delisted but I’m genuinely surprised how much criticism of the technical aspects has taken place. Surely the bar for QI is sharp, well composed, and illustrates the subject clearly, I don’t see how it can fall short. As I say, fully happy to see it go, but it just surprises me how many people seem to think that nominating this in the first place was some egregious misstep on my part.

  • I won’t quibble with the rest, as although the composition is very satisfying to me this is definitely a fair critique, but I can’t personally see any issues with sharpness. The image seems very sharp to me. Cmao20 (talk) 02:49, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Cmao20: Interestingly, I just viewed the photo on my phone rather than my laptop and it looks like a completely different image; sharper lines, more saturated colours in the sky and warmer tones on the sand/rocks (maybe something up with the colour space?).

@Giles Laurent: You have cleaned up the technical denoising issue and it is now a quality image. I would certainly be happy if it were mine. However, IMHO, it still doesn't have the wow of others in the FP gallery. Now that you are intrigued by the aurora borealis, this might prompt travel back to Iceland's Ring Road, Northern Canada or Norway to look for more. The aurora appears like mysterious magic across the sky. --GRDN711 (talk) 01:38, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Taking a picture of the aurora is not something that you do by simply going to a place and taking a picture. You need the right conditions which you have no power at. The aurora don't happen constantly and you need one to be happening. You also need good weather, which is something extremely rare in Iceland. I spent 2 weeks in the winter period there and there was 100% cloud coverage 98% of the time. And with clouds in front of it, there's nothing to be seen. That night was the only night that I got to see an aurora. I also know a few people that went in search of auroras in other countries like Canada or Norway and that ended up seeing nothing. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 08:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • You may consider it's important for you to enjoy your own pictures (and so much the better!), but it's not important for the collective evaluation. The goal is not to award the FP label to all photographers who like so much their own photos, otherwise we would promote the worst works that have exceptional sentimental value. The goal is to promote the photos that consensually satisfy a majority -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:41, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Understandable - not all photos have to get FP. Honestly, nothing will happen to me in life if the picture doesn't get FP :)
I've been following this thing here for a while now and sometimes I don't understand what these assessments are based on. Emotion?
In the case of a microscope photo, I still recommend looking for reference material to understand what level these photos are in the world. It's a very complex genre and some photos that seem bad to the viewer can turn out to be quite good if you compare the tests with similar photos :D Janeklass (talk) 03:22, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Thank you for the nomination, Aristeas! I’m afraid though I fumbled the description and filename, as this image was taken at sunrise, not sunset… I assume it’s easier to change the filename after the nomination runs its course? It was a beautiful but very cold morning, I remember having to hike down the hill holding the camera and tripod, as my hands were too stiff too unzip the backpack :) —Julesvernex2 (talk) 17:45, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Such things just happen … Thank you for the correction, Julesvernex2!

  • +1 Great panning effect, but the tilt gives the impression the car is going up a hill. I will support this nomination if it is fixed. As the camera sensor is capable of more pixels, I assume the picture was cropped on both sizes? -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I genuinely don't know how accurate the tilt is, Donington park is reasonably hilly there but I think it's probably at least exaggerated. I personally like it to make it feel dynamic, but it might not be preferable for encyclopedic purposes. Because, as you say, I have plenty of space to straighten it in the crop, so I will add a straight version as an alternative. — Julian H.✈ 07:45, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Because I believe we should not offer this "honor" to a user who escapes their ban. The image should not become a POTD, nor decorate our galleries, and it's better if re-uses are limited.
  2. Like GRDN711 on the original nomination I agree the picture has a rather low wow factor. During the discussion on the FPC talk page, I was wondering if this photo had a chance to become a POTY finalist, and honestly believe not, because of the harsh light and strong shadows. Of course my subjective guess can be wrong, but in that case, it is another reason to delist, because the photo uploaded by a supposedly blocked user should definitely not enter the "Picture of the Year" competition to get such a reward.
Sorry for all those who liked this picture, and especially Cmao20 the impeccable nominator who suggested this photo in good faith and now finds himself a bit tarnished by the scandal. It's just bad luck.
Thanks, Radomianin, for the initiative -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:16, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do feel like 'it's not a good enough photo to be FP' is probably not a fair reason to delist in this case, honestly. We should focus our discussion entirely on whether the photo should remain FP seeing it was taken by a banned sockpuppet user. The picture was only promoted a month ago and people had ample opportunity to vote on its quality at that time. Cmao20 (talk) 21:36, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dear Cmao20, you're right and I completely understand your instasfaction to hear today negative opinions being expressed when they had previously kept quiet. However, you can also understand 2 things, in this new situation: 1) all the previously tangential opinions no longer hesitate to express their reservations (this is my case personally, who had not supported) and similarly some who had supported may simply abstain this second time (if they don't oppose), 2) there is sometimes a form of natural lottery in a panel of daily voters on FPC. It is not always the same ones who vote, and the score can change depending on the arguments and influences. Look at the FPs renominated last time, some scores turned out to be very different. Example 17 may 2021 : score 7-3, then 13 January 2022 : score 13-1. How do you explain that? Or even more: score 7-4 then score 11-0. So there is a bit of random. Best regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:06, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, I agree. The process is invariably a bit random and that’s unavoidable. And it’s not necessarily even a bad thing - it may result in some pictures failing that should probably have passed, and some passing that should have failed, but it averages out to the process generally working very well, and I do think we generally get a high standard of photos passing. I just think this delist request should be focussed on the matter of whether it’s appropriate to feature a photo uploaded by a sockpuppet. Wolverine XI had the opportunity to speak up as to the photo’s quality when it was initially nominated, and he didn’t. If we start re-evaluating the quality of images only a month after they were passed, I fear that the FP galleries would forever be in flux. Anyway, I think I’ll leave it here as I don’t feel inclined to defend Livio’s photos any longer. Cmao20 (talk) 04:15, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps "not on par" has no relation with "quality"? "Not on par with the rest of the FPs" possibly means that the rest of the FPs were uploaded by authorized users? Or because the rest of the FPs will be fair POTY candidates, legitimate POTD, etc.?
  •  Delist per nom.--Peulle (talk) 08:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Now this is a real dilemma. One the one hand I fully agree with Radomianin, Basile, et all. that we should not promote any further photos by Livioandronico2013/Paris Orlando/Σπάρτακος/Architas/Commonists/NikonZ7II/Merulana/PaestumPaestum/etc. etc. etc., according to the results of the discussion after the Commonists unmasking in 2021. On the other hand Cmao20 is absolutely right that this photo is kind of a special case, as it was neither nominated by Livio themselves nor did Livio even vote on it. IMHO we should not delist the image for quality/aesthetical reasons because these aspects have been fairly discussed in the original nomination just a month ago. Anybody can always open a regular ‘delist’ nomination, but normally this should be done only (a) for procedural/rule-related reasons – like here –, (b) when one discovers major flaws in a FP which were not mentioned in the original nomination discussion, or (c) after a fairly long period when our technical requirements have changed significantly. Delisting recently promoted FPs ‘on the fly’ would open a can of worms with arbitray ‘But I did not like that FP’ discussions and block FPC. But of course I am fine with a procedural demoting if the majority resolves to do so. In any case many thanks to A.Savin, Basile, Cmao20, Radomianin and all other participants for their commitment to settle this unpleasant affair! – Aristeas (talk) 10:19, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I am sorry to have caused such an intense discussion with this nomination. Perhaps I should have waited a little longer until there were other suggestions on the FPC discussion page. I am also sorry that a recently successfully promoted photo is now the reason for a delisting. The Livioandronico2013 scandal happened long before I was active on Commons, but I noticed the Commonists affair and took the opportunity to read through all the discussion pages about how Livioandronico2013 got banned. Until then, I didn't even know what a sock puppet was. Since we all work in this forum with good and faithful intentions, I personally think it is very important not to give room to proven or obvious frauds. This affects not only the relationships between contributors, but also the policies of the Wikimedia Foundation. While such removals are unpleasant for everyone involved, they must be done. I would also like to echo Cmao20's and Aristeas' thoughts that the reason for this delisting nomination is entirely due to sockpuppet abuse. It has nothing to do with technical, compositional, or any other aspect of the photo in question. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 14:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Northern lights over Mývatn (Iceland)
@Giles Laurent: You have cleaned up the technical denoising issue and it is now a quality image. I would certainly be happy if it were mine. However, IMHO, it still doesn't have the wow of others in the FP gallery. Now that you are intrigued by the aurora borealis, this might prompt travel back to Iceland's Ring Road, Northern Canada or Norway to look for more. The aurora appears like mysterious magic across the sky. --GRDN711 (talk) 01:38, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Taking a picture of the aurora is not something that you do by simply going to a place and taking a picture. You need the right conditions which you have no power at. The aurora don't happen constantly and you need one to be happening. You also need good weather, which is something extremely rare in Iceland. I spent 2 weeks in the winter period there and there was 100% cloud coverage 98% of the time. And with clouds in front of it, there's nothing to be seen. That night was the only night that I got to see an aurora. I also know a few people that went in search of auroras in other countries like Canada or Norway and that ended up seeing nothing. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 08:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • You may consider it's important for you to enjoy your own pictures (and so much the better!), but it's not important for the collective evaluation. The goal is not to award the FP label to all photographers who like so much their own photos, otherwise we would promote the worst works that have exceptional sentimental value. The goal is to promote the photos that consensually satisfy a majority -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:41, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Understandable - not all photos have to get FP. Honestly, nothing will happen to me in life if the picture doesn't get FP :)
I've been following this thing here for a while now and sometimes I don't understand what these assessments are based on. Emotion?
In the case of a microscope photo, I still recommend looking for reference material to understand what level these photos are in the world. It's a very complex genre and some photos that seem bad to the viewer can turn out to be quite good if you compare the tests with similar photos :D Janeklass (talk) 03:22, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
