Oppose It is a great image, but I see no VALUE in the picture. There are too many similar pictures. I just do not think Wikipedia should be a photo contest for cute high quality pictures with no value.--Mbz1 17:11, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Mbz1

- Well, If you go to the Guidelines for nominators at the top of that very page, you could read: "Value - our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others. Pictures should be in some way special, so please be aware that: almost all sunsets are pretty, and most such pictures are not essence different from others, nightshots are pretty but normally more details can be shown on pictures taken at daytime, beautiful does not always mean valuable". It is number 4 or 5 in the list. I believe it should have been number 1. --Mbz1 18:26, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
- With all the respect, but it shows a sqirrel very well. So its useful and special. An thats value for me! this comment was made by --Simonizer 11:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, everybody entitled to have an opinion. I do agree with you that the picture is a nice one, but I really cannot agree that the picture is special in any way. By the way, whoever made the last comment has forgot to sign it---Mbz1 19:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
- A picture should be special as it refers to its project value. It's value should make it special, not the other way around. It should not be read to mean that it must be special to make it valuable. An image like this is "special" if it shows a particular aspect well, that is, it is useful for a particular purpose. The main goal is value, not being special. -- Ram-Man 14:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Most valuable is not always forever. Sometimes someone nominates a photo that makes an existing FP not so special any more and it gets un-featured. Or a good picture can fail because there is already a similar but better one. Regards, Ben Aveling 08:48, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
