• Comment – I assume that part of the reason why the article is so short is that the two sharp-tailed sparrows (Nelson's and Saltmarsh) were only split in 1995, and before that there was a lot of confusion about their relationship and their ranges. Still, there is now plenty of information available about both, and no reason why the article can't easily be expanded along the lines of the more detailed article on Saltmarsh sparrow. (In fact the taxonomy section of that article already contains a discussion of the evolutionary divergence of the two species which is equally applicable to Nelson's.)

• Comment - This is a gorgeous image, and rightly featured on Commons. Here, however... I find myself agreeing with Charles. The emphasis of the poster appears to be combat operations in continental Europe, rather than how British industry converted raw materials into the materiel necessary to continue the war. This may be due to the image's provenance; having been produced by the British Information Services in New York, and thus printed in the United States, it may have been intended more to get North Americans to contribute more to Britain's war efforts by highlighting how they are bringing the war to the Axis powers. Even the block of text at the lower-right is dedicated predominantly to the armed forces.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:49, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree though that the EV isn't strong in the only article it's currently being used in.

• Oppose per Banmesk, would support the other photo if it were nominated. MER-C 09:46, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – I may be in the minority here, but in spite of the partial obstruction by the roofs at the lower right, I actually prefer this photo to the alternative mentioned by Bammesk and endorsed by MER-C above, because this one has significantly more EV. The oblique view gives a much better sense of the building than a simple straight-on picture of the facade, which gives no hint of the shape and size of the structure behind it. Ideally, I'd like to see an image that combines an unobstructed oblique view without the distracting foreground roofs (like this one: File:Melk - Stift (2).JPG) with a greater resolution and sharpness than that photo provides. But given the choice, for the purposes of an encyclopedia, I feel strongly that a slightly flawed oblique view is better than a spectacular frontal view, in spite of the latter's enormous pixel count. Choliamb (talk) 15:52, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  That's a fair point, and definitely a reason to keep this image in the article. I know that, when I was still doing photography, I'd try and get multiple images and angles for exactly that reason. If the rooftops weren't as intrusive, I might even agree with you... but in this case, it feels as though you'd want to get three or four meters up to get the best image.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:46, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Just to be clear, I share your reservations about this photo, which is why I offered my comment as a comment rather than a support vote. The problem, as this photo from further away makes clear, is that if you back up enough to get the roofs out of the way, you're likely to end up in the river. What is really needed, as you say, is an extra few meters of height. But the image I linked to in my original comment (File:Melk - Stift (2).JPG, also taken from across the river) shows that it is in fact possible to get a photo that avoids the roofs and still conveys more information than a strictly frontal view. If I were looking for a photograph to use in the classroom, that's the one I would probably choose. And although it seems a little soft when you look at it at full resolution, I would be more likely to support it for FP than the current candidate (or than the frontal view, which is admittedly spectacular on its own terms).

• Oppose I do not believe we should crop archive photos or photos by living photographers. We should assume the photographer wanted it as it is. This image is ruined by the hand in the foreground, but should not be cropped (or cloned). Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:49, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Support crop only. We have a history of allowing digital manipulation when the image is not the subject of an article in and of itself. Restorations remove dust and smudges, uploaders adjust contrast and balance levels (mostly for digital images, but I have had to use it for images I scanned personally), etc. In this case, an argument can readily be made that the extraneous arm was not a deliberate part of the composition, but rather an "action" shot of an architect by a landscape/architectural photographer who saw the opportunity and took it.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:07, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – I have a really hard time making up my mind about this photo. The EV is not ideal: a particular weakness (due to the lighting and the position of the animal, not the fault of the photographer) is that it doesn't really show off the distinctive red and white color pattern of the coat on the face and chest as clearly as some other images, like File:Canis_simensis.jpg, for example. But that photo is a non-starter as far as image quality goes, and the same is true of almost all of the other 120 or so photos of this species at the Commons, which are variously beset with problems like low resolution, lens blur, etc. Pretty much the only one that can compare with the nominated photo in image quality is a gorgeous shot of a reclining wolf (File:Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis citernii) 2.jpg), and when I clicked on it I found that Charles took that one too. Charles, I'm guessing that you felt that the reclining one wasn't suitable for FP because it doesn't show the whole animal? You may be right, but it's a beautiful photo, IMO much more striking than the one you nominated, and because it shows more clearly some details that are distinctive or unique to this species, like the coloration and the ears, I think one could argue that it's not inferior in EV. If you had nominated that one, I would have supported it without much hesitation (although I am aware that others may feel differently).

• Yes, it is a better photo for sure, but I thought it had less EV, but welcome other opinions. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:20, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
