Delist: Veined Leaf

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 9 May 2021 at 01:03:24 (UTC)

Reason

Relatively low resolution (1,024 × 768 px), partially blurry, lots of JPEG artifacting. (Plus the plant is unidentified, limiting the image's encylopedic value.)

Delist: UK Roundabout 8 Cars

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 23 May 2021 at 15:23:47 (UTC)

Reason

As much as it's a useful gif for demonstrating how roundabouts work, it's definitely not the best we can offer and most definitely not a featured picture a decade-and-a-half after being promoted. Our standards have changed and this is a low-quality stuttering 25 frame gif that arguably has many of the cars driving dangerously (and therefore not a very educational gif in regard to road safety). Undeniably fails

Delist and replace: Love or Duty

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 17 Jun 2022 at 17:00:38 (UTC)

Reason

Quite simply, the Library of Congress has rescanned this, it's now far, far better quality than the one we used to have, and thus a much better restoration can be done. Also, given it's used on Chromolithography, cutting out the colour check on the right - which shows the inks appearing in it and provides a quick check that all of them were printed - seems counterproductive when it only adds value. A defining feature of Chromolithography is the number of inks used in the high-end stuff, which this demonstrates.

On the restoration, I've checked, and in other paintings of the same scene he made he put a paint spill on the ground about where there's a blotch in this one, so I think that blotch in the shadow between her and the easel is meant to be there.

• Comment I am not familiar with the featured picture process so I have no vote, but I would like to point out that this picture is being discussed at Talk:Main Page#Planned POTD 2022-06-13 (File:Michele Merkin 1.jpg). Delisting this image does not resolve questions of what is or is not appropriate for POTD. Polycarpa aurata (talk) 03:45, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Actually, if the objection is, as it was there, that the image isn't good enough for featured picture status, this 100% resolves the question. If there's anything else worth objecting to in the queue, I'm 100% sure I'll hear about it.

That comment from a single user did not refer to the image's status as a featured picture. It referred to suitability as an image to be POTD. Polycarpa aurata (talk) 23:16, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This, not POTD, is the most appropriate venue to deal with quality issues. Other issues are irrelevant if quality isn't there, because quality alone can block it.

• Comment: The name has definitely made its way into the literature, but (just from some quick googling) it looks like the species hasn't been formerly named yet. For example, it has an entry in this book, which is from a university press. (The lead author is a prolific mycologist.) This seems to be the original (but not formally published) description; at least, it's cited in at least one scholarly paper. But this isn't a straightforward situation.

• Keep – Comparing the two, the candidate (Bastei) has softer and more even lighting, which I prefer. The second (...img04.jpg) seems to have a bit aggressive local contrast. Composition is more balanced in my opinion, too. Resolution is about 40.5 MP vs 36 MP, which is a very slight 11% more. --Lion-hearted85 (talk) 11:00, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – I see no compelling reason to delist, since it is a good alternative re. weather, clouding etc. Janke | Talk 10:21, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• While there is no consensus to delist this image, an image that isn't used in any articles can not retain it's featured status and is therefore delisted. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 14:38, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist: Charles Darwin

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 20 May 2023 at 08:41:25 (UTC)

Reason

Okay. First of all, a version of this with lower pixel size, but far more detail exists: File:Charles Darwin by Elliott & Fry, 1874.png. It's restored well, but the Library of Congress version is degraded, and that's... basically a fundamental obstacle.

It's also questionably dated: Harvard says 1874, this says c. 1880. This is kind of a problem when one of the big draws of it was having a date nearer certain books' publication. It was put in Rotogravure as an example. There's no source for it being a rotogravure. It has contrast issues: His face and hair blend into the background, and that's not really an issue in the original. I think we can have multiple FPs of Darwin. Having a frontal portrait, an early portrait - there's many valuable options. However, they need to be the best copy of the image we have at the minimum, and that's not what we have now.

Delist: The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 25 Aug 2023 at 20:22:03 (UTC)

Reason

Although this was good for 2011, it hasn't held up. I've uploaded File:The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, British Museum, version 1 (cropped).jpg, which is from the British Museum (more reputable colours) and of significant enough resolution to see the grain of the paper. It also shows correctly that this was a diptych. Unfortunately, that copy has some dirt and muck, so I don't think a D&R is feasible here.

• Delist - Gosh, it's amazing how busy FP was back in those days. Between the weird white sliver, false copyright claim (this sure as heck wasn't taken in 1900), and quality of the reproduction, this doesn't pass muster anymore.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:35, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do wish the replacement wasn't so horribly documented. It's definitely not from the source given.
