Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Zion Canyon, Zion National Park, Utah
Used in	Global usage
Review (criteria)	Oppose This is a view from Angel's landing, and not of Angel's landing. Hence, it does not describe the scope properly (this picture or this one would be better candidates). Nice picture though. --Eusebius (talk) 13:28, 16 September 2008 (UTC)  Comment You are absolutely right about the scope. So, what do you prefer as scope: just "Zion Valley" or "The Narrows of Zion National Park"? Please let me know;) -- Tobi 87 (talk) 13:38, 16 September 2008 (UTC) The term "Zion valley" does not appear in the en:WP article about the park, wouldn't it be "Virgin River valley" or "Zion canyon" instead? There is a featured picture of Zion canyon seen from Angel's landing, so I think it will be difficult for this picture to become a VI. --Eusebius (talk) 13:48, 16 September 2008 (UTC) I changed the scope and we will see what other users will say. In my opinion, this viewpoint (northwards) shows much more the characteristics of Zion National Park than the other picture (of course it's great, I made this hike because of this picture!!). But in my image you can see the different rock layers (e.g. Navajo Sandstone) in a very impressive way. Perhaps, this photo could be VI of "Geology of the Zion and Kolob canyons area" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_the_Zion_and_Kolob_canyons_area)? What do you think? -- Tobi 87 (talk) 14:14, 16 September 2008 (UTC) I think it is now a very narrow scope (too narrow for me, but it is subjective). --Eusebius (talk) 14:36, 16 September 2008 (UTC) Result: 1 oppose => Declined. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)  Oppose Subject isn't visible. --Ikar.us (talk) 13:16, 6 October 2011 (UTC)  Question You are absolutely right, but what is the correct scope? Zion Canyon? This is the subject my image shows. --Tobi 87 (talk) 19:10, 6 October 2011 (UTC) Scope changed from Angels Landing to Zion Canyon 19:10, 6 October 2011 Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn". Yes, this is better. --Ikar.us (talk) 09:11, 7 October 2011 (UTC) Please create a category for the scope with the relevant images, and link it to the scope.
