Tamme-Lauri Oak at Urvaste, oldest oak tree in Estonia
The Estonian contingent has had a disproportionate impact on the results here and on possibly the POTY, but I would be surprised there is any kind of puppetry going on. National pride is not yet a crime. Would hate to be proven wrong though. Saffron Blaze (talk) 01:16, 27 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.253.101.124 (talk • contribs)
Hello Mr. Saffron Blaze, I don't belong to Estonia. I just thought that this was a pic worthy of FP status and I just nominated it. I am neither the sockpuppet of the uploader nor biased towards Estonia. I was browsing through the user page of the uploader and found this pic. Nikhil (talk) 13:49, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Italic text is copied from another page and in not a comment by Saffron Blaze to this nomination. Just wanted to warn Estonians for voting here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.253.101.124 (talk • contribs)
Well firstly, it is not great style to post unsigned comments from IPs. I think it would be for the better of this project, if we had people from all countries as engaged as the Estonians here. I cannot speak for POTY, but I see not a lot of issues going on FP. If people think that images should not promoted, they have to oppose - simple as that, I do not think that there are enough people from any country here to get FPs through on their own. --DXR (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC) Edit: I was not aware about the ongoing issue at the talk page. However that does not change my opinion since it is a special issue involving two users, not an entire country... --DXR (talk) 15:45, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you, DXR. Whoever is editing from that IP, I think it is not in the interest of Wikimedia Commons to write a reckless comment about bias towards a country without logging in. As I said, I nominated the pic here only when I thought that this would be worthy of being an FP. It had nothing to do with my nationality or that it was a pic from Estonia. One can point out any technical flaws in the nomination without logging in, but please stop making prejudiced comments. Nikhil (talk) 16:07, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Would anyone be surprised the IP address is from Estonia? That aside, I never said there is arranged country block voting. Saffron Blaze (talk) 21:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
