Original – Dutch sailor Laura Dekker, who in 2012 became the youngest person to complete a solo circumnavigation of the globe, at the age of sixteen.
Reason
Giving this a try after some consideration. Has extra EV as the photo was taken when her solo circumnavigation was in progress (in 2011). Perhaps no one imagined that the youngest braveheart to make such an endeavor would be a girl.

Not exactly when "in progress." Photo info (Eng. & Dutch) says she was speaking at the HISWA boat show in Amsterdam – hence the clutter in the background – and that her tour would resume after the show when she would be flown back to her sailboat Guppy. Sca (talk) 13:51, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I mean it happened after she had sailed from Gibraltar and before the sailing was completed. The photo is from 3 March 2011, so chronologically it's that period. Brandmeistertalk 16:00, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, understand that. My concern was the cluttery background, since obviously if pic. had been taken literally while the voyage was under way (which is what "in progress" implies) that couldn't have been there. Sca (talk) 18:08, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support All that aside, this appears to be a high-quality shot of a remarkable young woman in the midst of the thing that made her remarkable. High EV, [more than] adequate pixelage/ clarity/ photographic performance, freely licensed, all the flags say, "Go!" KDS4444Talk 05:50, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Agree with KDS4444 re illustrative value for the subject person – who appears to be a very pleasant young woman in the bloom of health. Sca (talk) 13:47, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Pose is sub-par, I think. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 06:20, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Aw, Chris, really?? I think the pose is just fine! I find it sincere and spontaneous without being awkward— meanwhile the images from her website here are posed shots which lack this quality, the YachtingWorld image here lacks the poignant depth of field that I really like in this image, the image here doesn't show her centered in the frame, and THIS image has a ridiculous pose! Meanwhile this image, which I think is brilliant and is obviously very professional, isn't being offered up as an FP candidate— but I think our candidate falls into the same quality class as that shot. You can't argue it isn't big enough (it is more than twice the minimum requirement in both width and height) or that it is over/ under exposed, over/ under saturated, visibly retouched, or misrepresentative of its subject, you must admit that it shows her in a nautically-themes setting which is exactly the one most suitable for her notoriety. We can agree to disagree, but I think this is a great shot of her and would be suitable for use in any glossy magazine and better than most anything you will find elsewhere on the Internet. KDS4444Talk 10:00, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • To expand on the issue I take with this: her body is leaning to the viewer's left, whereas her head is looking to the viewer's right. This causes unnecessary tension. I've also got a problem with the bright, busy background and her face being in the shadows. Although the background isn't overly blown (not as bad as some I've seen... or taken) it still detracts from the image. Though these are of different subjects, File:Dustin Brown 14, 2015 Wimbledon Qualifying - Diliff.jpg and File:Katie Swan 3, 2015 Wimbledon Qualifying - Diliff.jpg are both candid and work better as images. For posed images, I'm particularly fond of File:SkudinaEkaterina5.jpg, where the subject's sport is implied without taking the focus off her. This isn't a bad shot, but I don't think it's up to FP quality. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:40, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's a fine candid shot. Photog caught her with a natural expression that seems to embody a bit of amusement or a good sense of humor. Sca (talk) 13:38, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. And while that File:SkudinaEkaterina5.jpg is rightfully featured, it's a posed shot, unlike this one. Natural facial expressions and postures are almost always good in FP terms, methinks. Brandmeistertalk 14:05, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Only negative aspect is the background, which can be overlooked in this case, since it's blurry. Sca (talk) 16:54, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Negatives are distracting background and pose that makes it look as if she was caught unawares. 86.171.43.82 (talk) 23:09, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
as if she was caught unawares
– aka a candid shot. Sca (talk) 02:10, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not really. It looks as if she has just become aware of the camera and is about to turn to look at it, or is trying to pose for the camera but has momentarily been distracted, but either way the result is a bit awkward. 86.171.43.82 (talk) 03:12, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as per Chris. The pose is awkward, body facing viewers left, head going right. It may be a candid shot, but there is no reason for this picture to be a candid shot. Mattximus (talk) 12:53, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support as nominator – This one has been in the hopper for three years now, am finally more or less satisfied with it, please provide suggestions for improvements or point out errors, thanks!KDS4444Talk 19:11, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - It looks like you are trying to say that the aorta, ventricle and the atrium are part of the pericardium, which does not seem accurate. Also is auricle the correct term? I thought that was outdated, but I'm not sure about this particular species. Mattximus (talk) 22:48, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good question. I am trying to say that the pericardium is a sack containing the auricle, ventricle, and aorta, as described here. To the best of my knowledge and understanding, this is still the accepted arrangement for these parts (though if you know differently then please tell me so I can correct the drawing). Also: I am finding the word "auricle" used in this text, which is pretty recent (Bulletin 38 is a Japanese publication well known for its coverage of the mollusca). The original work on which I based my information and terms is rather old, but as far as I know, it isn't considered flawed and its terms remain mostly current (though I did use "digestive gland" rather than "hepatopancreatic gland", which was the now-obsolete term given in the text, see above link re: the pericardium for said text). KDS4444Talk 04:51, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you wouldn't expect anything less of me! There is a fantastic Flickr photo album of a closely-related species, Patella ulyssiponensis, available here, which was only published in December of last year (long after I first tried to draw this limpet, but an invaluable resource for me as I tried to bring it up to FP quality). I have taken a certain amount of artistic/ creative license with regard to color and texture, but the placement of the organs is mathematically precise (save the shell and mantle, which I have excluded for obvious reasons).

  • Comment. The positioning of the labels is a bit messy. Sometimes there is a large gap between the label and the line, sometimes a small gap, apparently at random. 86.171.43.82 (talk) 23:13, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hm. You are right, and it is not random: it is an artifact of the way that Adobe Illustrator generates SVG files, and subsequently of the ways that different browsers interpret the resulting code. It is a problem I struggle with every time I try to generate an SVG diagram using Illustrator (which is a great program with some annoying flaws). I have already been looking into this, and will be posting a revised image post haste with this labeling issue (hopefully) fixed. KDS4444Talk 10:40, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tobias and the Angel

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 22 Dec 2015 at 13:18:36 (UTC)

Original – Tobias and the Angel are out walking with a fish. And a dog - Why? Read article.
ALT - High resolution NGA scan from source
Detail Comparison - Original Left, Alt right
Reason
Good scan, interesting theme. The painting is by the Italian Renaissance painter Filippino Lippi, depicting Tobias and the Angel, rom c. 1475-1480. The painting is in the the National Gallery of Art of Washington, DC, where Crisco took it to give everybody a nice Christmas mood, angels and happy end and all that...

  • Support I support the second imageCharlesjsharp (talk) 18:01, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment While it looks perfectly fine, I note that file is less than half the size of the download of the same resolution in the stated source [1]. This suggests re-compression and, while subtle, I think the current version is inferior to the source version because of it. Also it appears the zoomable image viewer version in source is of significantly greater resolution and detail than either [2]. – Wolftick (talk) 17:04, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have stitched together a substantially higher resolution and more detailed version from the image viewer on source. I'm fairly new to this: Assuming this is okay, should I upload as a new version of the file or post it as an alt? Wolftick (talk) 18:27, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks for the caution- I'm sure we all appreciate it! It would be valuable if you could post this as an alt so that the alternatives can be compared side-by-side. Josh Milburn (talk) 23:43, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, Wolfie. Wonder though, if the original doesn't got the right colors, though. The work is rather tiny, it is 33 × 23 cm (13 × 9.1 in) - so the resolution of the original scan might be just enough...‎(2,123 × 3,000 pixels, file size: 4.04 MB) -- [thinking about and because of the colour question]... Hafspajen (talk) 11:43, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • People have a tendency to just crank up the saturation and contrast on artworks, reality be damned. We know this, although given Crisco's the one uploading, perhaps they just restored it recently by removing a varnish layer. In any case, we should go with the more recent scan by the gallery. Oppose original. Will need to check the alt over for stitching errors. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:13, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - One can't do this kind of changes by removing the varnish. And all scans are not good. Hafspajen (talk) 12:40, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's impossible to tell for sure without seeing in person but alt feels right to me, in the same way original felt wrong. I think the yellows are the main tell-tale.
With regards to resolution, as long as it reveals more detail my inclination is to go with as much as available in preference to minimising file size. Not sure if people follow? In this case alt is approximately 600PPI which doesn't feel over the top for this work.
The stitching was a simple case of manually aligning per pixel 3 parts split vertically (top, middle and bottom sections), but I would agree that checking would be good in case I made any errors. - Wolftick (talk) 17:01, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can confirm that the NatGal scan is very yellow (in the downloadable version). I'm currently uploading the newest downloadable version they have. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:43, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. An interesting rendition of wings and a halo.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 05:27, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Either image is acceptable in my opinion. Editors have this problem all the time selecting images. So long as the images are technically proficient and not gratuitously processed to the uploader's taste or prejudices, there shouldn't be a problem. There was a problem with the accompanying article however, which was a blatant copyright violation of NGA text. That material needs to be rewritten by our esteemed commentators here. 64.9.157.242 (talk) 01:06, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I could support either version, too. The question is which one comes closer to the original painting. Can this be decided? --Tremonist (talk) 13:12, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment support either, however if I were to use one in an article, I would use the 1st. Atsme📞📧 13:27, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Support either per Tremonist.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 17:50, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Confirming my vote above: I think ALT is better. Yann (talk) 20:49, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Prefer original - It doesn't have any stitching errors, and since the museum is releasing it for download, it's probably reasonably accurate.. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:46, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand if the original is preferred but unless examples can be cited I would assert that there are no stitching errors with the second image. While it was stitched together this was achieved using only 3 overlapping parts of the original whole and thus could be performed manually with per pixel accuracy. - Wolftick (talk) 05:23, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Support original - For all the NGA scans here and there - Renaissance paintings and especially Filippino Lippi - ALL of his paintings have CLEAR; LUMINOUS colours. Original is most probably right. Hafspajen (talk) 12:10, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I would contend that while less sharp and contrasty in thumbnail the colours in alt are clearer and more luminous in alt. Note in comparison the rosey cheeks and distinction in colour between the face and hair that are present in alt but sadly absent in the original, along with the blue sky that is actually blue rather than grey, the richer green... I could go on. - Wolftick (talk) 12:16, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Hafspajen and Crisco 1492: The ALT appears to be the scan from the NGA. Where has the original come from? You're stating it's accurate because the original is the one the museum released; that doesn't appear to be true. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:56, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • The NGA has both scans available. The one available for download (i.e. the one here) is the one used in the Original above. I've stated this already, above ("I can confirm that the NatGal scan is very yellow (in the downloadable version).") — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:00, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • That is just weird. I think, then, we can probably make this supposition: The image has been restored, and the original is before the removal of yellowed varnish? Adam Cuerden (talk) 09:26, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • Quite possible. Or there was a different white balance. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:51, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
          • If it's simply different white balance, I'd say the original is clearly wrong. It has an oversaturated, overcontrasted effect similar to hitting the "Autolevels" button. That's only acceptable if it reflects reality. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:25, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
            • @Crisco 1492: Actually, there's a point. You have photoshop, right? Do an autolevels on the alt, and tell me if it comes out like the original? If its basically a bad automated adjustment, we should reject it, and some futzing with autolevels and contrast in GIMP hints it may just be that. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:28, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
              • Auto tone ends up really blue, actually. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:28, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
                • Okay, so both are still in the running. That's good to know, at least. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:55, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - In an attempt to resolve stalemate, I note that Original is now marked as superseded by Alt on Wikipedia. Original is not currently used in any articles and this change has not been reverted for some time (as uploader of Alt I did not make this change). According to FPC criteria this renders original ineligible for FP and as it stands it now becomes a sole question of whether Alt has enough support. - Wolftick (talk) 15:47, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also while it's fairly clear from above, I should say that now I am eligible to vote I Support Alt - Wolftick (talk) 15:47, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • ...That is if I am not considered ineligible per "New votes will no longer be accepted." - Wolftick (talk) 16:51, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This has gone on a month. Only the alt is used in articles, and its usage seems to be stable in them, given it's been a month. Can I suggest we simply promote the alt? Otherwise, I think this has to be failed. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:07, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Original is now not used in any articles so cannot be promoted as things stand. Alt is now the version used in articles and by my count just about has the necessary 5 supports if you count slightly tenuous "support either" votes. If things remain like this I would suggest either promote alt or not promoted per didn't reach the necessary quorum. Don't mind which but I think it would be good to clear this up. - Wolftick (talk) 18:17, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 11 Apr 2016 at 07:09:44 (UTC)

Original – The Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Yerevan is currently the largest cathedral of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the world, effectively making it the current largest Armenian cathedral.
Reason
Ran into this at Commons. It's a FP there. Thought it may merit the same assessment here. Quality is good. There's the dark clouds, but much can't be done about that. On that note, there's a couple other similar photographs from the same photographer here: Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral, Yerevan#Gallery. If any of you spot a picture that's better than this one, feel free to let me know, or you could just nominate it yourself.

Original – The typical Georgian architecture of Bath, Somerset, as viewed looking north-west from Bathwick Hill. The dominant colour is given by the Bath stone, used for most buildings in the city. Bath is listed as a World Heritage Site since 1987.
Reason
Excellent depiction of the characteristic urban patterns of Bath, Somerset. It shows the characteristic topography and how the repetitive terraced houses were adapted to it. Good lighting and great level of detail.

I don't see the reliefs on the base as being essential to the pic., because the Victory Column is thought of primarily as a monument to the Prusso-German victory in the epoch-making Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, while the reliefs purport to show scenes from the German-Danish War of 1864.
Relief portraying German-Danish War
In Western historiography, the Danish war generally is seen as a mere prelude to the Franco-Prussian War and the unification of Germany under Prussian hegemony, orchestrated by Bismarck.
(Casualties in the Franco-Prussian War totaled nearly 900,000; in the Danish war 4,000.)
Sca (talk) 14:43, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
