SHORT DESCRIPTION

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: the image needs tilt/perspective correction. Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

[edit]

corrected perspective

This one isn't unusual at all. A user has nominated the original version, which I altered and uploaded again than nominated it. The shadows and lighting ruin the image plus there are many tiles that are dirty. The art isn't that historic (probably late 20th century) and represents probably modern Islamic art. It isn't a moving object, which makes it very easy to take a picture of (avoid direct lighting). I find it very "weird" that no opposition has come up till now.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:28, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Some people oppose by ignoring a nomination. Downtowngal (talk) 20:45, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The image was thrown out of nomination because it needed tilting and some fixing. I fixed that to the wishes of FastTrack.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 11:18, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree with you. If we had an image of Genesis in the bible which is well decorated and nicely scanned it could become Featured. The same with the Qur'an or any other religious book. We shouldn't care about the message as long as it's a well done picture.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 11:18, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
@Alvesgaspar - Featuring of Sybols I think is no problem. I think a much bigger problem is the featuring of photos of the american war maschine every day by commons. HBR (talk) 20:16, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Whats the problem? I like it because of it's colours, textures and feature. It does not support any bias? I think its nothing to do with religion. Its arabic scripture made into art. Dont need to through religion into question when you see an islamic artifact.. --Fast track (talk) 22:16, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
