  • Okay, so Dezoomify wasn't working with this website but I managed to rig up a workaround (basically, I used the same software I use when sewing together panoramas or scanning items larger than my scanner). I've added it as an ALT here.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:37, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A little carol of the drum cuz, Christmas/Nativity. I haven't nominated one FPC in a while and back in 2015 when I was active, I used to put titles like this. There wasn't any guideline or rationale aganist this back then, and IMO, still haven't got any. So, why not?? :) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 01:59, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Precisely. There is no firm standard for titles of candidacy pages, and they are entirely internal (the average reader will never come across one), and thus it used to be somewhat common to make references to the subject matter rather than use the name of the subject or the file name. It wasn't just Herald; I know I did, and I think at least one other person did as well.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:50, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – Tagooty, the previous version [1] was much sharper! Neutral on voting. I prefer the infobox image. Bammesk (talk) 14:25, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bammesk: Thanks for the observation. The Sony A7C must apply sharpening when it creates a JPG. I've now sharpened the RAW to be similar to the JPG. Between the two images ... let's hear other views. --Tagooty (talk) 16:06, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Much better, thanks. Bammesk (talk) 16:37, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bammesk: I don’t think the two images are comparable, they’re quite different. I plan on nominating the infobox image as well, to be featured in the architecture gallery since the focus is the monastery. Nominated this image precisely for the wider view of the valley where the monastery is only a small part of the image as a whole, and therefore in the landscapes gallery. UnpetitproleX (talk) 17:11, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The idea is that the etymology of the monastery speaks to the mythical status of the cave in the cliff, which becomes apparent from the wider view. But as a representative image (i.e. for infobox) the close-up is better. UnpetitproleX (talk) 17:17, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, I am not opposed to the nom image becoming FP. It meets all the requirements. I am just neutral. Bammesk (talk) 01:52, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The work nominated for FP here is not the anonymous marble bust of Marcus Aurelius, it's the photograph of that bust by Daniel Martin. The photo is a derivative work separate from the bust itself, with its own creator and its own CC license. Daniel Martin doesn't appear to have a personal Commons account, so we can't ping him to tell him about the nomination. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't be credited. (In fact, attribution is mandatory with a CC-4.0-BY-SA license.) Choliamb (talk) 22:51, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Captain John W. Tarleton

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 5 Sep 2023 at 11:58:58 (UTC)

Original – John Tarleton, during his command of the HMS Euryalus
Reason
While a bit small, and while I did add a little extra blank space on the right because the original uses the paper it's printed on to centre the image, and we cannae do that in a crop, it's a good image of an otherwise unillustrated person. Overpainted salt paper print, which seems to have had a lot of enhancement done by the oriignal artist.

  • Oppose - The subject is hardly visible, mostly overshadowed by the surroundings. I doubt the EV too, since the lead image in the article is an ever better tighter crop, showing the engraving closer and better. A further tighter crop without loss of details, if present, can be a potential alt. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 17:24, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Original – Map of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine (so far)
Reason
Criteria 1 and 2 are trivial for this since it is digital. (Not 1500 pixels, but I think this can slide.) It is one of the most verifiable files on Commons (6), and it is of obvious value to anyone visiting the page on the
Russian Invasion of Ukraine
(5). It is under a free license (4). Criteria 7 is fulfilled, 8 appears irrelevant.
As for Criteria 3, it is one of the greatest files on Wikimedia Commons. In thousands of years, when our descendants remark on the wonders of collaborative information, they will refer to this file. (It's an exaggeration, but you get my point.)

Erica Jong

Original – The writer Erica Jong, photographed early in her career by Bernard Gotfryd
Reason
I am nominating this image to call attention to the large archive of public-domain photographs by the underrated journalistic portraitist Bernard Gotfryd. Gotfryd donated his physical images to the Library of Congress and his copyrights to the public upon his death; the LOC has made 8,835 of them available online. He had an interesting life and an interesting style, often praised for his charismatic but unsentimental candor. I don't know that this one is the best one, but it's intriguing, I think the use of natural light works well and represents the kind of improvisation that makes Gotfryd special, and it captures a side of Jong's personality, quite early in her career, not represented in the other photos of her on Commons. I should note that the LOC's date of 1969 seems unlikely--she was unknown at that date (I'm sure the LOC's dates for these are based on Gotfryd's boxes as they received them, so they might well be dates from). Based on her hairstyle in other photographs of her, I suspect it's from 1973, the year Fear of Flying was published. I have cleaned up the most obvious dust (there was plenty) but I know you have high standards for such things here.

Janke, that cropped out bit on the left has some kind of gray fiber intruding into it--I think this must be a mounted slide, and the mount has started to degrade.

    • I can see being turned off by how heavily shadowed it is, but as far as the hair is concerned, if that's how she was representing herself publicly and professionally at this point in her career, then it seems like there's some value in that.

It's a great image. Now, in his main article, it's a little lower down, but that's because the current lead doesn't really fit anywhere else in the article, and I didn't want to just remove it. If we leave the lead as it is, then this one fits fairly nicely time-wise with Slaughterhouse-Five, and the current lead can stay in the article.
