Again... --Cart (talk) 12:45, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

No, no… the Wilfredor's nomination is just a silent protest again his departure. Consider the below one as his nomination. ★ 13:42, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but you can't make nominations in someone else's name. It doesn't work that way. And Wilfredor is not departing. He is just getting his life back on track so that he can continue here stronger than ever. People need to do that sometimes. Also, that nom is in a terrible shape; I will fix it up for you so you have a chance for many supports. --Cart (talk) 14:11, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

So, ok. I got it. #staystrong. @W.carter and Arne Müseler: Could you take over this one instead? I wouldn't want to see the Christ's photo being discarded. ★ 14:46, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry no, you have to ask someone else. I only do maintenance. Also small tip: If you want to 'ping' someone, you must mention them during the same edit as you write your signature, otherwise the 'ping' doesn't work. Here the 'ping' didn't get to the users since you added the {{ping|W.carter|Arne Müseler}} in the edit after you signed your post. --Cart (talk) 15:00, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the useful tip! I'll try my best to keep calm, relax and drink a glass of water next time. ★ 15:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support: this is a worthy image to feature, and I'm taking over the nomination. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 17:42, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! That was kind of you. I have fixed the code accordingly. --Cart (talk) 18:29, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Much appreciated! --The Cosmonaut (talk) 18:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose Scaffolds are annoying. Yes I know, not photographer's fault, it's just sometimes you have all the luck and sometimes not (applies for myself too, of course). I don't see any other feature that might outweigh that such as exceptional lighting. I'm sorry --A.Savin 10:14, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support Lovely! Wolverine XI 17:37, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support The scaffolds are annoying, yes, but I really like the contrast between the melodramatic gesture and style of the statue and the mundane bustle at its pedestal. The shadows in the background are really helpful to emphasize the foreground.– Aristeas (talk) 10:02, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support It took me a while to warm up to the circumstances of the shot. Aristeas' arguments for it aptly put my feelings about the image into words. -- Radomianin (talk) 22:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Weak support for valuable image of a highly notable subject, despite the bright light and scaffolds. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  11:51, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose Agree, the scaffolding is an issue and a dealbreaker to me, but still interesting Poco a poco (talk) 20:11, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
