  • Pity! For me, this is a great recording that I would have loved to have made myself.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:09, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment In my personal opinion, after viewing your photos, they are the exact opposite of being boring or of inferior technical quality. You have the attentive eye for fascinating details, which are underrepresented in this forum. Best wishes, -- Radomianin (talk) 10:59, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Cart, I understand your decision, but I have to admit that I really would have liked to vote for this photo. For me, it’s clearly one of the best shots on Commons (and you are clearly one of the best photographers we have). I have still no reliable internet connection, but this photo is so good that I had to borrow a friend’s computer just to comment on this one. ;–) --Aristeas (talk) 07:27, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I thought only the nominator could withdraw nominations? Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:44, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  FYI: I have been reprimanded about withdrawing this nom, I stand corrected and apologize to the nominator Артём 13327. It was rude since the nomination was made in good faith, and they have no idea about old feuds on FPC. My bad.
It was also pointed out that since I donate my photos to the WikiProject, they should be available to be used anywhere on Commons or Wikipedia, even on FPC and QIC, unless there is some very special reason. I see the logic in that.
So, use my photos as you see fit, here, QIC or any other part of the project. I will however take the same position as JJ Harrison does, and stay out of nominations and discussions. Accept or reject my photos as they are, do not ask me to alter them and please don't overwrite them. I agree with what Frank Schulenburg said here, but of course, he is more diplomatic and have better manners than me. Someday, in the future, perhaps the FPC will once again be a less toxic place where photographers will enjoy exchanging ideas in a collegial way, but I think that would involve some major changes.
'Pinging' those who have been involved in this nom: A.Savin, Famberhorst, Radomianin, Aristeas, Ikan Kekek, Charlesjsharp, Daniel Case. I apologize for my abrupt behavior and the inconvenience. --Cart (talk) 18:08, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Apology accepted as always. I know I am not alone in regretting your absence from this forum. Daniel Case (talk) 18:11, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thank you very much for reactivating the nomination. When the mentioned feuds had their peak time on FPC, I was not yet active in this forum. But in my opinion, now and then such poisonous echoes can be heard, which are far beyond appropriate criticism. This is unfortunate, because FPC is a place for all interested photo enthusiasts. So I understand your attitude to this issue, which should be respected by regular users despite the Commons usage rulebook. Nevertheless, I have hope that we will all be able to help make this important forum a kinder place. Best wishes, -- Radomianin (talk) 19:01, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
