  •  Oppose Back lit, sorry. Would support otherwise --ianaré (talk) 22:59, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The approved file name format is with lower case jpg. The file is not in line with basic guidelines, so I think it should fail because of this. Snowmanradio (talk) 18:58, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • For the first time in 24 years I am speechless. Really. I find it unbelievable that a person boasting over 16,000 contributions has never actually taken the time to read the guidelines about file types, and instead invents his own guidelines just to have a reason to oppose. Sweet Jesus, I thought such things only happen in Poland. Wolf (talk) 19:19, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, I have made over 16,000 contributions, but I do not boast about it. Also, I have not made up any guidelines. Perhaps you are confusing file types and file extensions. You have linked pages to file types, but not about the file extension to use. Please see Commons:File renaming and Commons:First steps/Quality and description. The latter says "For photographs, use JPEG (file extension .jpg or .jpeg)" and clearly indicating what file extensions are to be used. I am not doing this to just oppose, but I think that featured images should be in line with guidelines in every way. I realise that it would be fairly easy to rename the file, and if this is done, I would not oppose. I would like to see better compliance with basic guidelines in the featured images in general. Incidentally it is against wiki-guidelines to use eastereggs, so please remove the linked images from above. What are the eastereggs meant to mean? What happens in Poland?

        • What happens in Poland? This. This exactly, to the most minute detail. And above all, I refuse to comply unless I am given a proper justification of why it is essential and indispensible for the three letters to be lower case. If it is not essential and indispensible, I see no reason to comply, other than courtesy - I swear to God, I would not have a problem with this if you decided to let me know about it in a gentle and civil way (like you did just above), but you chose not to. Compare my oppose to SSL's recent nomination of F/A-18s which were preceded by at least two requests to shorten the filenames. More than that: I see every reason not to comply, as a gesture of civic resistance against such harmful actions. Because I do - with full responsibility, having thought through what I'm just saying - consider such voting as harmful. Mind you: not what you are trying to achieve, not the endavour of having extensions in lower case. But using this as a basis to oppose is, to the best of my judgment, contradictory to POINT. To sum up, quoting from the page linked by you: As a matter of principle it's best to leave all files with generally valid names at their locations, even if slightly better names may exist. Thank you for your attention. Good night and God bless. Wolf (talk) 23:34, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that it is unfortunate that we end up with featured images with file extensions that are not in line with the basic guidelines, and are likely to become bad examples of file naming to the general reader. Snowmanradio (talk) 00:22, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
