Review
(criteria)
  •  Support Useful & used.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 06:28, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Image is VI for given scope but should be linked to Category:Cardamine flexuosa rather than a gallery where nom is the only example of inflorescence. Image seems a little dark for white petals. Consider lightening. --GRDN711 (talk) 23:43, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @GRDN711: Your vote on the gallery's argument is illegal this point is specified in the rules. Your behavior seems to be deteriorating and causing problems. We need to discuss it. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment @Archaeodontosaurus: I don't think my vote is illegal at all. COM:VIS Links to Scope lays out the order of link preference with a category link being preferred over a gallery link. This is the basis for my objection and it is fixable. I am happy to discuss this with you further. My talk page or email might be best to work this out. --GRDN711 (talk) 05:38, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Some time back we had [a discussion] about whether it was OK to link to galleries which, by their nature are not necessarily representative. I thought that we should always link to categories, but the rules were not changed. The current freedom to link to galleries remains OK. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:12, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Per nom. --Palauenc05 (talk) 11:24, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Per COM:VIS links in the scope, the guidelines are clear – try to have only one link per scope; link scope in order of Commons category; Commons gallery; Wikipedia English article; other Wiki article; otherwise, don’t link; try to avoid a re-direction page or page of very different title.
The only example where COM:VIS links scope to a gallery is given is - “Messier 45”, where there is no category link available of that star image, only the Pleiades star cluster. Here, the next linking option - a gallery link to scope, is appropriate.
I have read through the 2020 [discussion] and in general, the comments by all supported the COM:VIS linking order above. There was no consensus on any change from the existing COM:Vis scope link guidance and none was made.
It’s not that you can’t link a scope to a gallery but only if there is no appropriate category available.
Here the scope should be linked to Category:Cardamine flexuosa (53 images of which the nominated image is one) rather than Gallery:Cardamine flexuosa where the nominated image is the only example of inflorescence given. In this case, it may not make any difference in the result but the nomination would follow the COM:VIS guidance on scope links. --GRDN711 (talk) 21:09, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Quibbling won't make your position any more legitimate. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 04:20, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I have clearly presented my position; the reasoning behind it and what I view as an appropriate remedy. If your actions are in keeping with COM:VIS links to scope, present your case. --GRDN711 (talk) 23:27, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
