Weak oppose Sorry, but in texture/pile photos like this, the small details matter. In this I'm distracted by the scrap of paper at the bottom and the empty corner up right. The light is also a bit dull and doesn't give the fruit the wow-factor for me. --Cart (talk) 09:00, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Weak oppose Sorry but I agree with Cart, I immediately saw the scrap of paper and the empty corner, and that means it doesn't match some of the fruit pile photos we already have in the gallery for quality. I also think the perspective has distorted some of the mangoes towards the edge of the frame and this damages the impression of regularity that is useful in pictures like this.

Oppose I don't think this is an outstanding artwork and it isn't of a notable historical figure. I think there has to be a line drawn otherwise we might as well just automatically promote every high-quality digitisation of a painting regardless of the qualities of the painting. Cmao20 (talk) 00:07, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose A rather dull image of average artistic quality, a bit small file compared to other FP artwork, and the photo quality is such that I can't say if the bright patch on the left side is the artist's choice or just a light reflection. --Cart (talk) 08:52, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Weak oppose My instinct is that although this picture is pleasant, it isn’t a sufficiently outstanding or unusual composition or motif to be FP, and there is no outstandingly high resolution or pixel level detail to mitigate this. Sorry :-( Cmao20 (talk) 21:52, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I nominated it because I liked the pleasant mood, the portal-like feeling of the pathway, and the monochromatic appearance. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 14:12, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- If you think that something has an almost monochromatic mood, it's sometimes worth a try to edit it in black & white. Just keep in mind that B&W requires a bit different editing than color. You are welcome to use my attempt as an 'Alternative' if you like. --Cart (talk) 16:54, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Question This might be an ignorant and stupid question, but with all the beautiful photos we now have of living Lepidoptera, are we still promoting mounted specimens? --Cart (talk) 18:08, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Support We must always ask ourselves what purpose the photos were taken for. Yes, we have beautiful photos of living butterflies, but photos of prepared specimens are just as important. From a taxonomic point of view, it is important to identify all the relevant characteristics of a species. This is often not possible with photos of living animals, which only show one side of the body and only either the upper or underside of the wing. Sometimes not even one side of the wing is completely visible because the wings are folded. There are even species that can only be identified by looking at the internal genitalia. In these cases, live specimens cannot be correctly identified at all. So, with photos, I have to choose between aesthetic and scientific value. These are excellent scientific photos and this is the reason, why museums mount butterflies in this way. --Llez (talk) 04:47, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- I have no problem with the scientific value of these mounted specimens and I agree with you on that. But I seem to recall some past discussions about that we shouldn't, through promoting new FPs of mounted specimens, encourage people to kill and collect animals in this way any more. Catching and colleting butterflies was a widely spread hobby when I was young, but with the dwindling population of so many species, scientist are more and more talking about protecting butterflies and moths. Some species are even illegal to harm or kill. And with all the good cameras we have these days, even education is moving from using specimen images and drawings to photos of individuals that are alive. This concern was the basis of my question, not the aesthetics of the image. --Cart (talk) 10:25, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Juste for this specific case "le mal est fait", in fact, the museum of Toulouse has herit of a big collection of butterflies of fr:Laurent Schwartz died in 2002, and thanks to Archaeodontosaurus, this collection is taken in photo for commons.

@W.carter: Je te remercie. That's an excellent question! In vivo images are very beautiful, but they are not normative. For science, there are reference positions for different species (including Homo sapiens). For Homo sapiens, it is not necessary to insert a needle, but for insects, it is the norm for specimens. "In vivo" and "specimens" are not in competition; they are complementary. Descriptions of species and subspecies are often made on millimetric details. To answer your second question, you're not mistaken; what you say is correct. If you look at the specimens, you'll see that they're old, often very old. They're museum specimens, and they're recorded as such with references. It's up to museums to fulfill this role. You should also know that the specimens on display deteriorate over time, and we also have to replace them. As you can see, it's a bit complicated.
If you ever attend a specimen photography session in a museum, you'll be surprised by the methodology. Everything must be prepared with the greatest care, and opening a box is a great responsibility, especially if it's a collection of our prestigious elders. The Holy Grail is the red label with the word TYPE on it! It's the reference butterfly for the species. There, no mistakes are allowed. This is how, at the back of the museum, in a dark room, we can experience great emotion.--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:52, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I understand that this is scientific and legal and made with great care at the museum, but the internet is full of idiots who will carelessly copy every behavior they think they can do better. Perhaps these photos of old museum collections should have a template stating that, and caution others to not trap and kill Lepidoptera unless they are supervised by a scientific institution. Might not do much good, but at least we can try to conserve the species we still have left. --Cart (talk) 16:22, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Keep 'JPG photos are superior to PNGs' is a bold assertion and I don't think it's always true. JPG is normally the more natural format for photographs but we have plenty of PNG photographs that are FP, for example this. In this case the JPG is only 475 KB and has clear, if subtle, compression artefacts visible at full size, particularly in the darker areas of the photo. The replacement is thus clearly worse than the original. If you want to make a JPG version of the PNG you can do so without reducing the file size by nearly 90% and losing information. Cmao20 (talk) 14:22, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

- @Cmao20 and Radomianin: I remade the JPEG version with much less compression. I think no information is really loss now. Yann (talk) 10:04, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you Yann. This is much better and means that this nomination is no longer destructive to the potential of this image. I don't think FPC should waste time replacing existing png images with jpeg alternatives, though - there would be dozens to get through and it'd be a big waste of effort - so I'll keep my vote. Cmao20 (talk) 12:03, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks to Yann for the improved Jpg file! However, I feel compelled to add my perspective on Delist and replace nominations. Based on my modest experience, the maintenance work that follows a successful nomination is one of the most labor-intensive tasks, requiring about ten separate steps. Among other things, this includes creating a redirect page to ensure the correct functionality of the four-pointed star of the former FP (
{{Assessments|featured=2}}
). Unfortunately, thecom-nom
parameter reaches its limits here, as it redirects to the wrong page. For this reason, Delist and replace nominations should be chosen with great care - only when absolutely necessary. The first time I did this kind of maintenance, it took me a full hour. Given the minimal difference between the two versions of this nomination, I do not believe the effort is justified. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 18:58, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yep, this is totally true. And to add to what Radomianin wrote, these delists can per the rules only be closed using the 5-days rule if no one agrees with the nominator. This means that in some cases the nom has to be kept open manually while the FPCBot is trying to close it based on counting the votes like in a normal nomination. When the 'Delists' were first added as a feature in the FPC, it was as a separate system. Later the 'Delists' were incorporated with the normal FPC nomination. However, the voting system here maintained by the FPCBot is not sophisticated enough to deal with delists, let alone delist & replaces, and it fell on the the users who frequent the FPC to handle this manually. This was not a problem then since most voters also did maintenance. But in recent years the numbers of maintainers has dropped drastically. People love to nominate and vote, but not so much taking care of all the "boring" work that follows. So please do not create delists for minor things, leave that to the things that really matters since they are a P.I.T.A. Or even better: Learn how to take care of this kind of nominations and help out. --Cart (talk) 20:15, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- I completely agree with you, and I also appreciate the historical background you provided on Delist and replace nominations. The lack of active maintainers is indeed a challenge, and I too wish we had more people handling the background work. Just thinking about the galleries - without your and Aristeas' help, they probably wouldn't be as organized as they are now. But that's just my personal opinion.

Keep for two reasons. 1) The general claim that “JPG photos are superior to PNGs” is nonsense. JPEG images are more practical for many reasons, but they are not superior; on the contrary, for archival purposes PNG images are superior because they provide a lossless compression. 2) If we accept this as a reason to delist-and-replace FPs, we may get many more pointless or even questionable delist-and-replace nominations; nobody would profit from the additional amount of work needed to process these nominations. – Aristeas (talk) 08:12, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Partial solar eclipse with some clouds on 29 March 2025, in Tuntorp, Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. I had my mind set on a sort of sequence, but big clouds moving swiftly with the wind prevented that. I had do make do with photos taken when the clouds were favorable. This is taken with only a normal polarizing filter; I used the clouds as filters for the strong sunlight. Towards the end of the eclipse, like here, the clouds moved in layers so I could get one cloud to cover the sun and another one at lower altitude to make a nice framing. And in a few photos this also made some faint crepuscular rays; this is one of them. All by me, -- Cart (talk) 14:15, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

- Really, no educational value? I asked ChatGPT for a list of possible uses that meet Wiki Commons' scope, all of them seem pretty reasonable to me: Astronomy Education (Phases of a Solar Eclipse, Sun-Moon-Earth Geometry, Eclipse Observation Conditions), Photography & Optics (Photographing Celestial Events, Light Diffraction and Scattering), Environmental Science (Impact of Eclipses on Atmosphere and Light), Cultural and Historical Context (Modern Eclipse Documentation, Public Engagement in Science), Science Communication (Visual Aid in Presentations or Articles, Comparative Study Tool).

- I'm sorry, but I had to turn your example gallery into a list. You can't display other images on a nom since the FPCBot will read them as 'Alternatives' made by the nominator. And to answer your question: I think that this photo has a more aesthetically pleasing composition with the position of the second cloud, the little starbursts and the faint crepuscular rays, than the photos you mention as well as many other on this site. That's why I dared nominate it. --Cart (talk) 09:53, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Oppose It's a fun image, a great subject and good file decription, but with almost minimalistic composition like this you need to be careful about the details. I find the crop a bit too tight, the light glistening on the body paint is not ideal and that string for the garland around his neck should have been tucked in or removed since it distracts from the main subject. --Cart (talk) 13:53, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

It's a pity the reflection is cut, with the whole mast there and less sky it would have been a spectacular photo. But I won't stand in the way if other people think this is adequate. --Cart (talk) 10:20, 30 March 2025 (UTC)Neutral
- Oops, Yeah you're right, thanks, but this photo is still cute, so I preferred to add a valid alternative that could overcome your objections, even if partial. Thanks for your constructive criticism, as always. Terragio67 (talk) 14:23, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
Support Now this new crop is much better and I can support it. --Cart (talk) 16:25, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Per Cart. Nice colors and fine light, but the cropped reflection spoils the composition. --Milseburg (talk) 10:50, 30 March 2025 (UTC)Neutral
Comment It might be beneficial to crop 1100–1200 pixels from the bottom (and the same amount of empty sky). This would minimize the already incomplete reflection. --Milseburg (talk) 13:52, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment. Editing this photo is not possible, because the reflections of the subject collide with another boat next to me. I thought it would be better to upload a new alternative image from a different angle. Terragio67 (talk) 14:18, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Info First of all, it's a black and white mangling of a sepia original, second, the sepia version says it's cropped from the original, and I don't know if it could be cropped better - the failure to get it at the time has meant link rot has lost us the chance - but it's a pretty bad crop. Absolutely no foot room. (Original nomination)

Delist The customs were different in 2006, but the original nomination is still a bad joke. Five people voted on the sepia version (4 pro, 1 contra). Then somebody (not the original nominator) jumped in and added the b&w version, saying they would support that one. No one of the previous voters commented on the b&w version. Then the votes were counted in a completely arbitrary manner, claiming that 5 voters supported the b&w version – well, we only know that a single voter supported it, the one who had added it … Even if this was the greatest photo ever, we cannot say that it has been promoted correctly. – Aristeas (talk) 15:36, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
