Comment - That is not precise, because I don't think there's anything obviously visually "in Laos" about the footbridge. Instead, I think either "Wooden footbridge in Vang Vieng" is a notable enough scope or this probably can't be a VI. I mean, maybe, just possibly, the scene is distinctive enough to specify "Southeast Asian footbridge", but does this really represent all footbridges in the entire country, let alone entire region? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:57, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment with the exception of animals and some other things that have their own very specific rules, always air towards a very extremely specific scope. You can always broaden it out. I would support a scope change to "Wooden footbridge in Vang Vieng". You can't say that all wooden footbridges in the entire country of Laos are represented by one picture.

Question - Is that really a meaningful scope? I feel like you don't have a good feel for what makes a scope useful. The best scopes are just specific enough, with the idea that they are useful scopes for an article in an encyclopedia, a blog, a dictionary, etc. I'm trying to imagine the article that has a statement about "fragile foot bridges". I mean, I guess that's certainly possible, but what do you think? I'm doubting it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:18, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Meaningful, yes. Useful, it depends on what you're interested in. In Laos most of the constructions are fragile. They're just like that, like this bridge. People build them quickly, and if they collapse, then they repair or make a new one. Same in China, very fragile scaffoldings in bamboos in all constructions. Advantages : cheap and quick, inconvenients : fragile and ephemeral. - Basile Morin (talk) 03:10, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
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a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".
