Nominated by	Palauenc05 (talk) on 2020-12-04 10:05 (UTC)
Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Northeast view of Trier, wood engraving by Hubert Clerget (1885)
Used in	Global usage
Review (criteria)	Support Useful and a good FP candidate. I can't help feeling that Google Maps and search engines, generally, plus the greater ease in taking and printing photographs, are why it's no longer standard for books like the one this came from to be printed. On the other hand, this site enables the wider, easier and certainly cheaper dissemination of this image, even if it helps make future similar engravings less likely. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:32, 4 December 2020 (UTC)  Comment @ Ikan Kekek: It's amazing that you call it "a good FP candidate", while it's obviously not worth the QI label. Strange, isn't it? --Palauenc05 (talk) 07:51, 7 December 2020 (UTC)  Question Wait, did I say it wasn't worth being a QI? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:09, 7 December 2020 (UTC)  Comment I hadn't noticed the nomination in QIC. I just voted to promote it. Let's see whether anyone contradicts that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:13, 7 December 2020 (UTC) I think what happens is that there are so many nominations at QIC, it's a lot easier for people to miss some than either here or at FPC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:15, 7 December 2020 (UTC) Right, it's a phenomenon that I observe quite often. Nominations of serious motifs are ignored, while for example an entire series of a sleeping cat is promoted. I guess, we'll have to accept that the importance of a motif doesn't play any role in QI. --Palauenc05 (talk) 09:42, 7 December 2020 (UTC) That sleeping black cat is really beautiful, though. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:11, 7 December 2020 (UTC) So cute a pussy! --Palauenc05 (talk) 18:41, 7 December 2020 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
