  •  Support Useful & Used but We must add a geocoding in caption. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:53, 3 January 2024 (UTC) --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose There are over 400 images of this bird (far too many to review) but this is not the best - the bird is looking away. I cannot see where this is used. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:37, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes Charles, you are right, there are less than 500 images and some of them might be better than mine. Furthermore, almost 50 percent of photos are incorrectly placed in the (winter plumage) category. In fact, these photos taken between the months of October and November present intermediate and not yet definable characteristics of winter plumage. But let me say that it doesn't matter where the bird is looking to, because the aspect that gives value to the image is how the plumage is depicted. It tends to be definitely white on the head (instead of black) and light gray on the wings (instead of gray and brown). Considering that there are actually too many photos to evaluate, I would propose narrowing the category into: Chroicocephalus ridibundus (winter plumage) - side-rear view.

I added the missing geocoding, thanks. Terragio67 (talk) 16:12, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I would oppose that scope. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:28, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, I'll keep the VIc for the proposed category "Chroicocephalus ridibundus (winter plumage)", even though the scope is quite large. After all, I really paid attention to focus to the whitening and replacement of the bird's plumage which can be clearly seen up to the tail. Terragio67 (talk) 20:02, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I modified the scope. It seemed more precise to me to add the suffix Dorsal view because 80% of image focus in the rear part... --Terragio67 (talk) 09:07, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
