- @Jetstreamer How much more transparent can he be with the big support next to his name? Voting for one's image not is just a matter of personal taste here at FPC and no one is concerned about any conflict of interest. You would know that if you had taken the time to review a few other files under nomination or even the guidelines. Saffron Blaze (talk) 02:30, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- What is not forbidden is allowed? Say whatever you want. I wouldn't vote for my own images.--Jetstreamer (talk) 14:19, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Jetstreamer Supporting your own images is automatic on English Wikipedia, where this was submitted for consideration as an FP a few weeks ago. It was unsuccessful because there was no good place to put it, and EnWiki's FP process requires that FPs have prominent usage in one or more articles. Sven Manguard Wha? 17:46, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

- Support Well, honestly I can't say much about the artistic qualities of this portrait - I'm no expert at all on contemporary drawings. But I certainly do appreciate that prominent artists voluntarily provide their work under a free license, thus supporting this project significantly. Featuring such a fine example would further promote "our cause". --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:56, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
- Support per Martin Falbisoner. -- Saffron Blaze (talk) 16:49, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
- Support -- because it is so different from what usually gets featured and as per Martin Falbisoner, promoting "the cause" Lotje (talk) 07:54, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
