Hallo The High Fin Sperm Whale!
Thank you for reviewing my VI-Set Castanea sativa. Meanwhile Myrabella proposed to add a picture of the leaf. I did so. I just want to inform you about this changement of the set. --Llez (talk) 15:33, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

FP Barnstar

Thank you so much for your kindness! Yes, I have a lot of them but they are from a time when it was much easier to promote them. It looks like I am the first victim of my own attempts to make FP a harder place... No regrets, the harder it is the better it feels when our pictures are recognized! Or maybe it is the time of the talented newbies. Cheers, Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:38, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

review

 Neutral - IMO this image does not illustrate well the scope, as it only shows a skull. On the other hand, adding 'skull' to the scope would probably make it too narrow. I'm neutral for now. --Rastaman3000 (talk) - Visit my new user-page! 17:41, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello !
Thank you for supporting my spanish dam ! Could you please explain what do you mean with your annotation on the pic, I'm not sure I understand very well.

MOP

I may, but should I? I've got just 17 FPs, and new ones apparently aren't coming :) 17 is a lot less that most guys at MOP. Wolf (talk) 20:03, 10 October 2010 (UTC) PS. You'd really rather see the whole airplane in a picture of the tail? Wolf (talk) 20:03, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Depends. This picture is 4MPx, so you can see each and every bolt, you can literally count those on the rear edge of the tail fin, you can see the flaws in the paintjob; this picture was made as a picture of the tail. But it's not really that I care very much for this picture. I care a lot more for that of the IAR 99. As for MOP, perhaps you're right. Wolf (talk) 20:21, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

review

Maybe "Spore print" (generally speaking) could be a more relevant scope ? That is only a question, not a request to change, because I'm not a mycologist. Other question: is the Boletus chrysenteron spore print noticeable enough ? Different from other Boletus, other mushrooms ?--Jebulon (talk) 23:45, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

• • Boletus zelleri is quite close. However, this spore print is distinctive to boletes in that it is a honeycomb, and so forms many small dots, rather than lines radiating from the centre. So changing the scope to "Spore print" would be too broad; although changing it to "Boletus (Bolete), spore print" might be a good idea. And you may want to ask George to review this; he knows quite a bit about mushrooms. --The HighFin Sperm Whale 00:05, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
    • Thanks for answering. I knew there is some "honeycomb", and some "gills". Maybe a set with both ? It should be more interesting IMO. Well, I think this picture is interesting (and well done). I'm sure George will come soon to review this, without call ! But if you are in "trouble" with him, (are you ?) I may ask him for you if you want.--Jebulon (talk) 22:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
      • In trouble with him? What do you mean? If you are asking whether were mad at each other, we're not. Still, I would be happy if you would do that. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 01:18, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Image value

Hi The High Fin Sperm Whale. You relatively often oppose images for no value reason. May I please ask you if this image has a value in your opinion? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:58, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your response, and for promoting the image on QI. Let's keep our conversation here. It will be easier to follow up on it, if it is in one place. Now let's talk some more about the image value please. Wasn't this strange in your opinion that the ocean went so far back actually exposing the bottom. It happens only few times per year during very, very low tide, and this is quite an unusual scene. Last night the tide was almost -1 foot. Is not this fact alone gives the value to the image? And what about the reflection? --Mbz1 (talk) 20:16, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Sure, if you want to. Now I see why it is valuable. However, I had no way of knowing this, since all the image description said about this was "Negative low tide". If you add a more descriptive, well, description, then I think this would have a fair chance on FPC. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 20:35, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh you agreed so fast. . I prepared for a rather long argument. Thanks for your input.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

•  Comment The description on the file page is incomplete. It does not include the species. The uploader did not assign a species to the subject, so a note on identification may be helpful since the bracts are not visible and the leaves are not in focus.

Please reconsider your vote

I would appreciate you reconsidering your oppose vote about the sexual content policy. I see value in having a written policy that includes all the current written policies and unwritten practices so that we can point readers and new editors to the best practices about handling of sexual content. While it may not be perfect, having this will make it more understandable to more people, I think. Thanks, FloNight♥♥♥ 09:54, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Problem with the big ben is that it is extremely tall and one would have to tilt backward to fully capture it. London is a very busy town and unless you are in a helicopter, its hard to see the big ben from afair without obstruction.

Don't tink bad of me

I voted for oppose for a very simple reason. The foot is cropped right at the edge. Some more room would be needed. Also its hard onto the limit to overexposure as you already mentioned. But since when do we give simple oppose statements with no reason at all and expect from others to care how they vote? This is just an reminder for him. --Niabot (talk) 17:36, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I understand your reasoning, but wouldn't it be better to ask him why he opposed your image on his talk page than oppose his without reason? It's not that I object to your reason for opposing, I voted neutral for the same reason. It best to resolve an issue on discussion pages, not point out the error of someone's ways by doing the same thing. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 18:10, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

I know. But after i tried this multiple times i have given up on it: No reaction at all, just deleted (house right), etc. As in this case you see that the response somehow follows quickly. And i still think that someone that says directly "oppose for all porn" has lost all legitimacy to get fair votes by myself. --Niabot (talk) 18:22, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
