Support I would be intruiged to see a panorama from the tree-lined spit in the middle of the river, as this looks an interesting riverfront. Plus buildings are more often more interesting from the front... However, nothing negative about this picture - ticks all the boxes and is still interesting... gazhiley 12:22, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gaz, yes that is a fair argument. However it is pretty much impossible to reach those islands without a boat (and I don't have one). It's probably more practical to take one of the ships that travel on the Rhine, and I will probably do that later in April, but shooting a panorama from a moving object is hard. Also, a big disadvantage of such a frontal panorama would be that would be very wide, probably too wide for many purposes on wiki. --DXR (talk) 10:43, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DXR no argument intended! Twas just the wishful musings of a lover of civilisation panoramas... I'd say find a nice young man/lady (if you haven't already got one), pack a picnic, and charter a simple single outboard motor boat, and take a trip out there... Enjoy the view, picnic and the company, and while there try a panorama from that side :D ... you're welcome........ hehe gazhiley 16:48, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Napoleon Bonaparte was a megalomaniac whose military conquests caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands, if not millions. It's not surprising that Napoleon's tomb was one of the half-dozen Paris sights adoringly visited by the conquering Hitler in June 1940.

VW-Vincent (Volkswagen)

**Original** – 858 × 600 pixels, a good size. Sunny - no shadows. Fine atmospheric tableau. Absence of human figures illustrates the artist's preoccupation at this time with archetypical forms – and also his chronic inability to draw people other than stick figures.

Reason: A newly discovered, sensational unknown van Gogh. Last chance, Internet will soon be deleted anyway. That's a good reason .... Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Internet
Articles in which this image appears: No articles, no EV, not very useful. Interesting propaganda artifact, but everbody must oppose due to historical inaccuracy. Consensus is impossible to determine without additional input from participating in the discussion.
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/1 April jokes.
Creator: Vincent van Gogh

Support as nominator – This work comes from the artist's Late Not So Great Period. Some art historians assert he painted it as a commission from the famed German Post-Impressionist Fredinand Porschée, but others note that Porschée then was working as a waiter at an établissement in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, where he could scarcely have been earning the sums required to hire Van Gogh, not even a one-eared Van Gogh. (And BTW, that's pronounced Fahn-Xghowxgh – accent on the second syllable.) Sca (talk) 15:41, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Left-facing Susan B. Anthony dollar design proposal

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 11 Apr 2015 at 02:48:20 (UTC)

Reason: I believe this image meets the criteria because it is illustrative, encyclopedic and high-quality, and it illustrates the way coin designs are created. This is an early-stage design created by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro, but it was ultimately rejected, as were others. The image shows individual pencil marks, illustrating how Gasparro's concepts became reality. This is my first FP nomination, so I apologize in advance if I've made any mistakes along the way.-RHM22 (talk) 02:48, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

William Lane Craig

Reason: I thought this one deserved a second chance. A high-quality photograph of a fairly well-known academic. To pre-empt the claim that this is just a simple posed photograph: short of that pose, this is about as close as we are going to get to an "action shot" of a philosopher- the use of the watch and the stain-glass background are very much deliberate.

Like here

I doubt that what we see is the true left edge of the print. Possibly the print has been cut out of a book, and the "No. 1" text disappeared into the spine. The left-hand edge is odd. At first it looks ragged, and I thought it was the actual cut edge, but looking more closely it seems to have been cropped in a series of slightly stepped exact straight lines, as if done in multiple stages in an image editor for some reason. I'm not saying it's a big deal; it's just puzzling. 109.152.147.122 (talk) 18:27, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The source file for this image has a damaged left margin which was cropped off leaving no margin at all on the bottom left with slivers missing in two places. The "restoration" has left visible areas of off-color cloning as well. Is this image rare enough to overlook these problem?--Godot13 (talk) 08:15, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Agreed. We can do better than this. It's also poorly documented - no uploading of the original scan, for example. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 08:49, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is definitely worth. Yes, Godot13 Crisco 1492 - Adam Cuerden - the image is an extremly high qualty drawing - and is rare enough to be worth the energy put into, it is the very first image in the utterly notable book The Birds of America, an illustration made of the utterly notable artist John James Audubon, one of his finest images. I imagine Curly Turkey wouldn't have anything against sharing the nomination with anyne who puts the energy into that restoration ... (category should probably be illustration, though). Hafspajen (talk) 19:49, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose ...in its current state. Hafs, I agree with you about the EV/importance of the image. Sadly (I suspect) we are looking at (source image) the end result of what happened when someone decided to break up one of the books without taking proper care. Instead of taking the book apart at the binding, they may have cut out the plates. If the left margin can be properly restored (along with some light cleaning of more prominent spots), I will support it.--Godot13 (talk) 21:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

' Comment' - Here is the original. I think that under the circumstances I do understand why it was uploaded like it was uploaded.

Info The performance in the open air theatre of Lijiang, which includes some hundreds actors, is showing different traditions and lifestyles of the Naxi, Yi, and Bai people of the Yunnan area. The depicted scene shows especially the traditional clothing of the Naxi women (which is still worn in the daily life of the Naxi people) and is also a hommage to the Naxi women which used to carry heavy loads in big bamboo baskets, for example hay and fresh grass for the cattle. I hope, this explanation might help. Cheers, --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk • contribs) 08:51, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Can the EV be there if this is not actually a picture of a person from the Yunnan area in their natural clothing? Surely a performance by an actor cannot be used to demonstrate anything other than acting? The rest is just down to the quality of the costume designer and director of the show - it's entirely their interpretation. And unless Yunnan people traditionally frequent the stages of open air theatres, then this isn't showing them in the correct situation either... gazhiley 16:47, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Technically a great shot. Composition feels a bit cramped to me. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:05, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The building is partially obscured by the tree - a picture taken further to the right giving a front-on view would be much better. It would also demonstrate clearer the subject, as potentially it could be about any of the buildings in the picture - none of them are front and centred. Technically good, but not good enough EV wise for me gazhiley 16:43, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is the Marktplatz (presumably the town's central square), not one specific building. ("Schwäbisch Hall" is a town, not a building; not sure if there is any confusion there...) 86.155.201.128 (talk) 13:57, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OpposeThe cropping of the aerials is a level of editing I'm not really happy with. Resulting image is still rather cramped and the camera is struggling with the varying light levels (the lights blending together on the center far left and on the building just to the right of the town hall). Might be worth trying to shoot at ISO200 (E-P5 native iso) in future. You are sacrificing dynamic range by jumping to 320. Otherwise shoot in raw and mess with the curves in post or its time to break out the HDR (with care).©Geni (talk) 07:53, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sinking of the RMS Lusitania

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 10 Apr 2015 at 03:49:54 (UTC)

Original – Animated film The Sinking of the Lusitania (1918) by American cartoonist and animator Winsor McCay. Two submarines torpedo the RMS Lusitania in 1915, killing 1 200. Probably the first animated documentary, this was the longest animated film made until Disney's feature-length films of the 1930s.

Reason: A short film created to exploit the international backlash against the Imperial German Navy in the aftermath of the 7 May 1915 attack by U-20 Kapitänleutnant Walther Schwieger that left 1,198 of the passengers dead. This animated film The Sinking of the Lusitania (1918) by American cartoonist and animator Winsor McCay. In the film two submarines torpedo the RMS Lusitania in 1915, killing 1 200. It is thought that this is the first animated documentary, and at the time it was released this was the longest animated film made until Disney's feature-length films of the 1930s.

I think Curly mentioned that he'd gotten a Winsor McCay DVD with these films. Any news on that? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:34, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'd love to support, but is this the best copy available? As is, it appears to be a mish-mash composited of clips from several prints, some more worn and scratched than others, and a few titles are even in negative form. I doubt this was intentional, originally. --Janke | Talk 06:19, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- If Curly's got the DVD, that would probably be the best copy available. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:38, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Interesting propaganda artifact, but must oppose due to historical inaccuracy: The myth of a second torpedo, and even a second U-boat, misleadingly propagated by the British Admiralty at the time, has been debunked in recent decades by historical research and underwater exploration. (Theories regarding the "second explosion" have included secretly shipped munitions and, more recently, a boiler or steam-pipe rupture. Neither hypothesis has been proven conclusively.) Sca (talk) 15:44, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're opposing the promotion of a copy of a historically significant and widely studied work because the work itself presents an incorrect view of the world? If this was being used to illustrate the sinking itself, perhaps (just as we might worry about The Creation of Adam in an article about human evolution...), but surely the EV comes from the article on the film itself? Josh Milburn (talk) 16:37, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Josh, understand your rationale – but still oppose FPs that tend to perpetuate historical distortions, often accepted uncritically by general audiences. (Would not classify this film as a "documentary." But this isn't the place to rehash the Lusitania episode.) Sca (talk) 17:34, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: I believe this image meets the criteria because it is illustrative, encyclopedic and high-quality, and it illustrates the way coin designs are created. This is an early-stage design created by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro, but it was ultimately rejected, as were others. The image shows individual pencil marks, illustrating how Gasparro's concepts became reality.

Reason: EV. This is the best known portrait of Louis Pasteur, French chemist and microbiologist - depicting him in his laboratory, painted by Finnish painter Albert Edelfelt (1854 – 1905) in 1885.
Louis Pasteur is an absolute giant in the field of medicine, humanity has a lot to thank him. Thank you, Pasteur. Albert Edelfelt is a rather good painter, too. The painting of Louis Pasteur won him the Legion of Honour in 1886 at the exhibition at the Paris Salon.
Louis Pasteur owned this picture and kept it in his dining room.

Reluctant Oppose - Half the object is missing...

Comment There are lots of minute rectangular artifacts surrounding the periphery of the coin, a left over of background cleaning. Perhaps they may be cleared? --Fauzan ^{✆ talk}_{✉ mail} 14:31, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fauzan, are you looking at full size or thumbnail? If thumbnail, that's unavoidable JPG artefacting, owing to how the Wikipedia algorithms downsample images when creating thumbnails. We should be judging images at full size, per the header at the top. (The cut out used the simple "circle crop" function of GIMP; there should be absolutely no leftovers).23:40, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

I was looking at full size. Though I am no expert, it was just an observation. It seems that the crop was done by repeatedly removing rectangles from the periphery. You can easily observe it by opening the image in paint and filling the background with black color. --Fauzan ^{✆ talk}_{✉ mail} 01:24, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Those are definitely JPG artefacts. But why is your crop of such small resolution? If you made it from the original, that shouldn't be an issue. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:14, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, I'm not an expert on images, so I'll leave supporting and opposing to the people who are. I will say that I don't think this image quite reaches the same level as the Saint-Gaudens double eagle that is already an FP (File:Specimen1Obv.jpg). From what I know about photography, which is very little, I would say that this one is slightly out of focus at the top, and there also appears to be a haze about the coin which mutes the color.-RHM22 (talk) 16:21, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Adoration of the Kings

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 15 Apr 2015 at 07:17:19 (UTC)

Original –
The Adoration of the Kings (1564) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder
; A rather unusual take of the Adoration from PBeE. Many of those surrounding Christ—including the Three Kings—are caricatured slightly or shown as a grotesque, and the Virgin is shown naturally and not idealised. The viewpoint is from a slightly elevated position, which has the effect of focussing attention on the Christ figure in the Virgin's lap, which is shown in the exact centre of the painting.

Weak Support I dissagree Sca - not sure what definition of EV you have, but to me this shows perfectly the layout, number of runways, proximity to other urban areas (in this case mostly agricultural), even (just about given the lack of focus) the types of planes that use it, based on the planes on the apron in front of the main hangars... There's even a single prop plane taking off towards the end of the runway... What else could you want from EV?! EV and importance are not the same... As for my weak support, I love it, but the clarity just isn't there sorry - whether this be due to motion blur, engine resonance of the mode of transport being used, or just not quite good enough camera/settings... Shame, but I find the EV high enough to just about support... gazhiley 13:05, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you all for the comments. I have been working in a different plane then I normally fly, it is a pressurized Pilatus PC-12 that, due to the pressurization requirements has super thick windows in the cockpit.

I am trying to deal with it but using my Nikon looks to be mandatory and the little Leica I have done this last set with is struggling.

Comment. I think this picture gets a whole lot more interesting when you realise that there are tiny skiing figures on the slope. Trouble is, it's easy to miss these, especially at the small size in the article. Perhaps the caption could highlight this aspect. Also -- and probably I am being too demanding -- it's a shame it isn't just a little sharper. 109.153.245.106 (talk) 20:51, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support - because I was thinking - why not. I was now looking at this painting and I think it is a good painting. Bouguereau's nudes are great, and I want more of them. It is one of his not to many portraits, and it has EV in Pierre Auguste Cot. I am not sure we have tons of Bouguereau's either. We have two, File:William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) - The Wave (1896).jpg and File:Bouguereau-Linnocence.jpg. Crisco 1492, am I missing something? Hafspajen (talk) 15:50, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK, that one too, that makes three of him. File:William Bouguereau - Dante and Virgile - Google Art Project 2.jpg Hafspajen (talk) 16:18, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He was not much for painting portaits, Bouguereau, actually. Hafspajen (talk) 16:10, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is three FPs (two of which have articles) not enough to say "We can show his style pretty well". If the painting had its own article, or Cot's daughter had her own article, I'd change my mind... but if the only EV is "Bouguereau's style!", then we've got that covered. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:07, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
