Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 7 Feb 2023 at 02:53:07 (UTC)

Reason

Excellent, high quality image of an Indonesian film star. This image admittedly has a checkered past, what with having been promoted as Chitra Dewi, then delisted when we realized she'd been misidentified. Now that Roosilawaty has her own article, however, things should be golden; we also have an image of her with her autograph scrawled across it, as well as numerous other images identified with text beside them, supporting the ID.

Yes, it can be added to Industry City. All buildings (5 in foreground and 2 in background) are also in the 1958 lead image in Industry City (background buildings can be ID-ed with the help of this, exterior colors have changed). The depicted area (in nom image) is part of the warehouse and storage section of Industry City, next to the 7 covered piers (only traces of the piers remain now).

Uniform compound of four tetrahedra (UC₂₃)

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 13 Feb 2023 at 06:11:59 (UTC)

Reason

This uniform compound of four tetrahedra (UC₂₃; p=2, q=1 and n=4) is beautiful, and surprisingly not very well known. It has a distinctively striking appearance, that to me is both very symmetric and tangible. The infinite families of uniform compound polyhedra UC₂₀ through UC₂₅ tend to be overlooked, so this image being featured could bring some attention to these, through this one example of a uniform antiprismatic compound.

• Oppose – Brightly colored, moving depiction is distracting and annoying. – Sca (talk) 13:28, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  When I asked if people about this model in the Tea house, people said they'd prefer a rotating model. I can make it move more smoothly. Also, colors are supposed to be bright for these models, the only darker colors available are generally reserved for regular, semiregular and other more important uniform polytopes. Radlrb (talk) 04:12, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – Toylike, not among Wiki's best. --Janke | Talk 19:14, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  What's wrong with toy-like? Aren't all 3D polytope models toy-like? Radlrb (talk) 04:13, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  It's the flat lighting and the saturated coloring. Try another shading algorithm to make it look more natural... Also, there are a lot of spurious pixels in the background area. Janke | Talk 07:41, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Absolutely, thank you. I'll cook something up really nice. It's comical because I didn't zoom in, and while these images are heavier in general, I thought it was cleaner than it is. There is something I like about the pixelation as is when you zoom in, it's electric. For our purposes something cleaner is naturally needed. Radlrb (talk) 08:49, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – Radlrb, for me the main issue is the 250x250 pixel size. It's good enough for infobox, but I like to see something bigger, say 500x500 pixels or larger when I open the image in its own window. I will support if that's done. Bammesk (talk) 15:34, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Will do! I might not get to it by the 13th, if so I'll renominate once it is cleaned. I might modernize it slightly too. TY Radlrb (talk) 02:18, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – I agree with Bammesk, I was thinking the same. Please consider that 250×250 looks tiny on high dpi displays. I wouldn't go under 500×500 pixels and stay above if possible. I wonder if the movement could be smoother, too, and if the colours can be reworked to look prettier. Thank you :) --Lion-hearted85 (talk) 16:41, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I'll address all of these : ) Hopefully in time! tyvm Radlrb (talk) 02:18, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Normally I would automatically support this sort of eye-catching and informative geometry visualization. But the parent article is so badly sourced and packed with what appears to be original research (like so many of our polyhedron articles) that I can't bring myself to do so. It's not even obvious to me that the topic is notable: you can place any number of copies of a tetrahedron rotated around one of its axes; what makes this choice of an axis and number of copies special? Do any sources specifically address this shape, not merely mentioning it without depth as an example of a more general construction? —David Eppstein (talk) 03:05, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Well, this is not the place to discuss such a topic, I would rather discuss that in the talk page, rather than here. It's notable because, it is a uniform compound, and the third of its class, if you'd like a quick answer. You know. Ah, that article is not badly sourced, and has zero OR, you must not know the material well, I suggest you read it. And you are also over-generalizing. Thank you for your input. P.S.: In depth, this compound has only been studied for what it is, just another example. Is it yet known to be applicable somehow? Yes, in a sense, in that it is the double compound of the

  stella octangula, which is self-dual. So for that reason alone it is notable. This doesn't need to be explicitly stated anywhere since it is common sense and explained by Coxeter and many others, however you seem to not have caught that yet? Radlrb (talk) 05:41, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply

  ]

Also, Weisstein was never actually voted a non-reliable source, and made policy, was it? It's more your sentiment against it, since you're referring to all sources in the article, and as I have meant yet not gotten to yet, I'll get that page number for the Norman Johnson article (I imagine you mean there especially? Since Robert Webb is obviously the important expository source that makes the article valuable). It's not unreliable, at least not for this article and for most articles that I have read for (98%). And gee, do I really have to say that we need to also be responsibly creative with Wikipedia, because where we can fit notability even though not as strongly, and allow an article to come to fruition, then we should, since it expands knowledge that is important. I bet you this compound beauty will have vast significance beyond what we have found thus, which is though small, still important, since it's another compound with octahedral symmetry that is uniform, aside from the known polyhedra and compounds. Yes, third of its class uniformity is sufficient notability, for which we have at least two sources listed (and will be adding Coxeter and others that did mention these compounds too for completion). I hope I'm being clear, I'm not trying to create 50 articles of Compounds of Tetrahedra, obviously, the first four through five compounds, yes, because it makes sense, aside from the larger uniform ones (10, 12, and 20 tetrahedra). They share tetrahedral and octahedral symmetries (rotational or full), and icosahedral, as immediate subgroups (for the compound of 4 tetrah, it's like a merging of octahedral and octagonal prismatic symmetry, 24 or 48, and 32). I guess I just explained it here, rather than in the talk page. Radlrb (talk) 05:58, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And to be honest, I was kind of looking for your comment, but not wishing it would be an attempt to just minimize, you know? Like I'm hoping we can make amends here. Radlrb (talk) 06:06, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Although I can't speak to Brazil, my experience in Indonesia suggests that the tropical sun can certainly lead to high levels of saturation at higher altitudes (this FP is an example... though admittedly that FP is somewhat less saturated).

Malfunction (parachuting)

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 22 Feb 2023 at 20:01:59 (UTC)

Reason

Time-lapse photo of a reserve canopy malfunction. This is not a recent or a high pixel count photo, but it does a good job of showing a rare and dangerous malfunction when a reserve canopy opens while the main canopy is still working. For details see the article's image caption as well as the section "Two canopies out".

• Comment - My first impression was of three parachutists... the timelapse is not immediately apparent. Furthermore, the sequence really doesn't make clear what and how it happened... --Janke | Talk 12:08, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose – Per Janke. Confusing. Visual information is not readily intelligible to general readers/viewers. – Sca (talk) 13:47, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose – Agree with Janke and Sca. I find it hard to understand what's going on here. Choliamb (talk) 15:34, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – Taking the photo at dusk is a great choice as it highlights the building and its reflection in the water. Unfortunately, the picture quality is not very good and the top of the building has been cropped, as MER-C noted. Lion-hearted85 (talk) 11:35, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – One of seven pix in target article, and not the one in the infobox. – Sca (talk) 14:13, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – Looks a bit overripe, starting to "rot" at the top... --Janke | Talk 18:15, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Support – Even if it's one of the seven pictures in the target article, it's definitely the best one in terms of execution and composition (the others are still useful, since they depict the fruit in different contexts). Putting it in the infobox or not is a matter of choice and maybe consistency. I note that many articles of this kind put an illustration in the infobox. --Lion-hearted85 (talk) 11:46, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – I think the background is the Chamber of Senators of Bolivia, relevant to her career. But per Chris, the image isn't used in her article. I would support a renomination if the image is used in her bio article, or if the the cropped infobox image is nominated. Bammesk (talk) 03:46, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Per this and above comments, I think I will re-nominate using the cropped image version. This should also handle the issue other users had with background glare. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 19:37, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

High quality, encyclopedic image. Illustrates the subject in a jarring yet fascinating way and is somewhat of an article hook. No technical issues from what I can tell.
