    @Geoffroi: Could you clarify which image(s) you support? Armbrust The Homunculus 15:38, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Goodlooking image, but the coronas are visible on only a few of the virus particles. (Am I too used to the computer graphics images shown elsewhere? E.g. : [[1]]) --Janke | Talk 10:20, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think the image of a model is a good idea, but I introduced an alternate with higher magnification, it shows the crowns. Bammesk (talk) 12:23, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, prefer alt because it has higher EV. MER-C 16:24, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    My preference only applies if one image gets promoted. I also support the outcome where both images are promoted. MER-C 20:44, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support either. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:18, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    David Eppstein Do you support only one image being promoted or maybe both? Armbrust The Homunculus 15:40, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. The usual rules are to have only one image but in this case both might be possible. Given current image usage, I think the article editors have decided that the alternate image is more encyclopedic, so if we pick only one I prefer that one. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:32, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support either - but I dare say this shouldn't be an alt, since it's nowhere close to the same image (right?), but a different image of the same subject. I'd probably support both, since as a reader the first is far more visually interesting but the latter undoubtedly has EV. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:00, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
