This image has been postponed once. Then switched to the vote and regularly promoted and registered as such. Edit the archive is useless. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:42, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

The archive is corrected thank you not to change it. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:51, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

@Archaeodontosaurus: the original image review was still open when the nominator erased my "oppose" review, and all the other review comments and unilaterally declared the review re-opened. See [1]. This happened despite the fact that the issues I raised had not all been addressed. Thus, as the review was invalidated, the promotion was illegal. Please correct your error in reverting me.

I see no error. An adjourned image can be submitted to a new vote. The questions you asked is for the person who submitted the image, you must discuss with him. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:05, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

It appears that Plasma Ball is unfamiliar with the rules for resubmission and for promotion. In summary, this is what happened:

• According to the Renomination rules an image that was previously undecided may be resubmitted as is, even though it is recommended that the nominator revisit issues raised in the previous nomination. During the resubmission process the previous discussion is archived. The archive is wikilinked by the statement "Previous reviews" in the Review section. In this case the previous review was archived here. You will notice that the final comment in the first review was from me stating that I had "updated the description to reflect PlasmaBall's comments". The resubmission process therefore followed the rules.
• According to the VI Promotion Rules, an image may be promoted four days after submission or resubmission provided that every vote is in supports promotion and at least 48 hours has passed since the last vote was made. In the case the image in question, the timetable was:

• 14:53 18-Jan-2015 - Resubmitted
• 06:12 19-Jan-2015 – Support vote by User:Archaeodontosaurus
• 06:08 23-Jan-2015 – Promoted with a vote of 1-0 (4 days 15 hrs after submission and 71 hrs after last vote).

This clearly followed the promotion rules.

I trust that this clarifies matters. -- Martinvl (talk) 09:18, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

@Martinvl: you didn't explain why you chose to ignore my concerns, and to ignore the recommendation to consider and fix the issues I raised before you renominated. PlasmaBall (talk) 07:15, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
