•  Oppose FP rulesː "Featured pictures are images from highly skilled photographers"ː the link defines photographers as Wiki photographers. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:28, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

  This is a provocative statement which questions about half of the featured pictures. I would consider it to be trolling. You should also check "Artworks, illustrations, and historical documents" section of the guidelines above. --Andrei (talk) 17:08, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

  I do agree it is provocative and I have posted the same objection in other nominations. Commons:Featured pictures has the following statementː Featured pictures are images from highly skilled photographers and illustrators that the Wikimedia Commons community has chosen as some of the highest quality on the site. The link is to Commons:Meet our photographers. There is no contribution here from a Commons photographer. By all means, please propose a change to the guidelines.

  • Charlesjsharp, I have removed the links. Those are not "rules", merely an introduction to the collection of images. Those links were added in 2016 by User:John Cummings who was AFAICS just trying to be helpful rather than changing the rules without discussing with anyone. John's last FP nomination was from 2013 and was a photo by Annie Leibovitz (a copyvio, unfortunately). The Commons:Image guidelines, which are the actual rules, state FPs "may or may not have been created by a Commons user" whereas QI "must have been created by a Commons user". This is the community consensus, which has not changed since 2007. We are discussing your suggestion about the rules on the FPC talk page. You can't pretend the rules say what you want them to say. I agree with Andrew, this is disruptive. Please remove your oppose votes made on this basis. -- Colin (talk) 20:57, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

  Colin has removed the links which were the basis of my objection. If he is entitled to do that without any debate, that's the end of it. Is he? Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:47, 24 June 2020 (UTC).

  Colin has correctly pointed out that the FP image guidelines have been the same since 2007. I was reading a page that had been edited in error by ANO. Apologies to all. Charlesjsharp (talk) 23:41, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Info The painting is a part of a "Wandering Jew" museum trail, which can be found at https://www.imj.org.il/en/content/wanderer --Andrei (talk) 17:15, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
•  Support-- Great mood, setting, and lighting. I agree with Andrei. Where is this rule Charlies is citing? I thought FPs can be taken by anyone, that only QI had such a rule?? Seven Pandas (talk) 19:12, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Good painting that seems significant to me, nicely reproduced. Andrei, that link gives a different date for this painting - 1868, whereas this file says 1880. Do you know which date is correct? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:47, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

  I can personally confirm that the museum sign next to the painting reads 1880. --Andrei (talk) 06:11, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
