- Info Reason to delist (Original nomination)
Name and description of file purports to show a full moon. In fact, the moon shown is not a full moon, so should not be a featured picture illustrating a full moon. Suggest another picture showing an actual full moon would be a better candidate for a featured picture.

- Comment I'm not sure if there is a way to withdraw my nomination, but I've changed my vote. Meanwhile, I've also emailed the author, who has a much better camera now and possibly could simply replace the picture with a better one, which would satisfy some of the criticisms when originally featured.Victor Engel (talk) 22:02, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Comment It says "nearly full moon". The name can be changed. I didn't understand why it should be delisted though. Tomer T (talk) 21:30, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- Keep No reason to delist. Yann (talk) 22:02, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- Keep No valid reason to delist, and I wish people would get over filenames - a filename is not a description! --Tony Wills (talk) 22:13, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- Comment It says nearly full moon because I made that edit. It says full moon in other languages, and it's referenced by a number of pages as a full moon picture. It's wrong for it to be used as an example of a full moon picture. That's what I would like to correct, but I'm not sure how to accomplish that. Delisting it is one step toward that direction.Victor Engel (talk) 22:32, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- Comment Note: this is not just a featured picture. It is a picture featured as a full moon picture. See http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Featured_pictures/Astronomy Victor Engel (talk) 22:37, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- Comment It is a Featured Picture because of the quality of the image, it wasn't featured because it was of a full moon, that is irrelevant to its featured status. You are quite welcome to correct the descriptions and captions wherever they occur, and even request a rename of the file. But your reason for delisting appears to be that you think it is easier to delist than bother to correct what you see as a problem. --Tony Wills (talk) 19:30, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- CommentIt would be nice if I could receive some constructive comments. Did you follow the link posted to the comment you replied to? Did you see that the picture is listed there as a featured full moon picture? Note that this is the first time I've dealt with modifying the status of an existing wikimedia commons entry, so this is new ground for me. Rather than criticize what I'm doing, instructing me what I SHOULD do would be more helpful. I have not followed all the links to this picture, but I suspect there are a number of pages that use this picture to illustrate a full moon. If those pages are to be corrected to reference another picture (there are plenty out there), what is the best way to do that?Victor Engel (talk) 20:22, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
