SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Natsuikomin, With respect, I disagree. You are the only person on this page right now on any nomination who has provided an oppose vote without justification, so I disagree that many people ignore the etiquette that you should provide a reason. Unless you mean that you think there is something in violation of proper etiquette about this image itself, in which case I would very much like to know what it is. I don’t want to nominate something if it is considered offensive but I can’t judge on that unless I have a reason. Also, the vote certainly does affect the nomination because without your vote the nomination could be closed by the five-day rule and promoted immediately (if an image picks up at least 10 support votes and no opposition after five days, it is immediately promoted), whereas now I will have to wait the full nine-day period before I can nominate a new picture.

    Umm, your second sentence was simply a false claim, but thanks for commenting. Did you ever do this as well previously, making wrong allegation? See my below reply. Natsuikomin (talk) 09:12, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not a false claim. You can easily search the FPC page to find that every single oppose vote on every nomination right now provides a reason for their vote, even if it is as simple as ‘per another user’, except yours. I am sad that you say I’m making false allegations. Cmao20 (talk) 12:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Natsuikomin: Welcome to FPC and thank you for your contributions. Regarding the opposing vote, there is a fixed instruction in the rules on how to give it. You can read it in detail here. In particular, the rule stated: Explain your reasoning, especially when opposing a candidate (which has been carefully selected by the author/nominator). I kindly ask you to give a reason for your vote with respect to other active reviewers, nominators and photographers. Thanks in advance. -- Radomianin (talk) 08:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Just remember this, You all will be responsible for all your votes that support the nomination. After all, anyone that ignores the common etiquette I referred to can cross out my vote if he/she considers my vote invalid, Thank you. Natsuikomin (talk) 09:09, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I am confused. I try to be kind and to follow ettiquette wherever I can. What am I missing here? What etiquette are we violating? Kritzolina (talk) 11:04, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am very confused too. I don’t think anything I said was impolite and I believe that I am fully within my rights to ask for someone to provide a reason for their oppose vote out of simple courtesy. Nobody wants to disregard Natsuikomin‘s opinion or consider it invalid, what I want is to know what the objection to the nomination is. Otherwise what is the point of the discussion? FPC is about building a consensus and if someone opposes without stating why, their oppose vote is useless in changing others’ opinions.Cmao20 (talk) 12:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Don't worry. You're polite. It was me who was too sentimental and sensitive. I'm truly sorry to all of you.
    I apologise. Natsuikomin (talk) 12:58, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Well, the rules explicitly state that one should explain one’s reasoning for an oppose vote, and since the only oppose voter continues not to explain their reasoning, I consider this nomination to be promoted by the five-day rule. I will not nominate another picture until someone else has reviewed this nomination and decided if my action in striking this vote is correct. Cmao20 (talk) 23:26, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Cmao20, I think you can regard Basile’s review of the bot promotion (thank you, Basile) as a confirmation that your action was correct, and I understand the rules in the same way, too. So IMHO you can continue with your good work. Thank you! --Aristeas (talk) 09:35, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmed results:
Result: 12 support, 0 oppose, 0 neutral → featured. /Basile Morin (talk) 05:27, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
