- Support This photo is astonishing at the fact that there are no people at the "Brandenburger Tor" (despite a small cyclist behind the gate). Remember that this gate is one of the most visited sights in Germany. The light in the early morning is ideal, because the rising sun illuminates the characteristic front of the gate perfectly and only at this day time. A well done photograph of a seldom view of this gate. --Tuxyso (talk) 06:49, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

But many on the image is bad: you left too much sky (also in your other image), the church is overexposed (there is no detail on the walls), the image is not very sharp (see the red flowers and the trees), in the water is a shadow from you, in front of the river are distracting plants, on the left side is in the lawn a green dirtying from dust on the camera-sensor.

- Request Could you provide a full resolution scan? Regards, Peter Weis (talk) 19:50, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- This photo is 32 years old. I made it in July 1980 with my camera model Olympus OM-1 on the color-slide-film Kodachrome 24. The OM 1 is famous: she is 2012 digitally remastered as Olympus OM-D E-M5. Kodachrome 25 is the trademarked name of a brand of slide film with 25 ASA sold by Eastman Kodak. When stored in darkness, Kodachromes long-term stability under ordinary conditions is superior to other types of color slide film; images on Kodachrome 25 slides over fifty years old retain accurate color and density. But every film has grain, also the Kodachrome 25. The digitally scan leaves the grain on the digitally remastered image. I can provide a full resolution scan, but the image in the large resolution is noisy. The full removal of grain destroys the sharpness of the image. The only way to show the scanned image without grain is to reduce the resolution. I know: Commons don't like noisy images. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 21:49, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'm well aware of this ridiculous idiosyncrasy. After noticing the image description and the scanner, I thought providing a full resolution scan would be great if available, at least for the few film camera aficionados out there. This downsampled version has little to do with representing the aura of the original. Sadly even the Nikon Coolscan V ED, which is a great scanner, is unable to mimic the quality of the original. I don't think it's Commons that does not like noisy images, I think it's the community. Regards, Peter Weis (talk) 21:21, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

- Info The Monkey Puzzle, Rathinda amor is a small lycaenid or blue butterfly found in South Asia. The butterfly has a weak flight, it stays low and does not fly for long without alighting. Its method of alighting is interesting - as soon as it lands, it turns around and waggles its tail filaments, it also sidesteps for a while - all this is apparently to confuse a predator as to which side is the head. This is a likely reason that the first naturalists may have named the species the Monkey Puzzle. All by me. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 08:20, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

- Comment The horizon tilt is minor but oddly distracting. The real problem with this image is there is no sense of subject. Reading the image description is less than helpful in that regard. The image rests uncomfortably between a landscape and a photo of a person/structure. 131.137.245.207 08:22, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- The images shows the dunes of Blåvandshuk. Whats the problem with it? --Wladyslaw (talk) 08:32, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- The image description only said Blåvandshuk so adding "dunes" helps. As to the problem, while this is technically sound image I would say it, like serveral other current nominations, lacks wow. It also lacks a certain internal coherecy as to the theme with the individual taking centre stage, the beach setting with sports going on and the "bunker" all providing distractions instead of adding to the image. A wider perspective to take in more of the beach and expanse of the dunes may have served your purpose better. As it is this is just a documentation photo of a pile of grass covered sand next to a beach. Opinions are like arseholes... everyone has one. 131.137.245.207 14:22, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

foldablewings. They completely close their wings only to rest under the leaf. This is a quick landing to feed on.

- Comment this image was marked as featured by Ramesh Ramaiah on 4.8, shortly after the candidate subpage was created: Revision of File:Godavari Bridge.jpg. The image was picture of the day on 11.8, also by Ramesh Ramaiah, changed to different image because it was not featured but reverted by Ramesh (Template:Potd/2012-08-11). This candidate subpage was not included in Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list, I have included it now and increased the voting period. MKFI (talk) 08:57, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- As far as I know, extending the vote manually won't work. The FPC bot will keep closing it according to the original time. A new vote should be opened. Anyhow, I have no idea why no one changed it yesterday, and furthermore - why my request at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and Talk:Main Page was totally disregarded (not your fault, MKFI, you're not an admin). Tomer T (talk) 09:31, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- I wrote the Commons administrator Polarlys 4 August 2012 this information. He didn't answered and didn't chanced the image. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 15:12, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose I think, this image must be deleted and Ramesh Ramaiah has to be expel from Commons. He forged on 4 August 2012 the Template Assessments|featured on his not featured File:Godavari Bridge.jpg. He supersedet in the Picture of the day 11 August 2012 on 4 August 2012 the Featured Picture File:Tyto alba (Scopoli, 1769).jpg and placed his not featured File:Godavari Bridge.jpg there. He removed on 4 August 2012 as well the Template picture of the day|year=2012|month=08|day=11 from the File:Tyto alba (Scopoli, 1769).jpg. He knew what he did: Commons:Picture of the day says: "All Pictures of the Day are chosen among the Featured pictures of Commons". The User Mywood had removed in the Picture of the day 11 August 2012 the File:Godavari Bridge.jpg on 1 August 2012 with the words "not featured" and had placed there the Featured Picture File:Tyto alba (Scopoli, 1769).jpg. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 19:52, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I reverted the POTD page of August 11th (however it's too late the damage is done). I'm puzzled, clearly if Ramaiah did it on purpose with a clear understanding of perfoming a "mischief" there is something to do, otherwise we have to explain him our rules (Errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum). --PierreSelim (talk) 20:36, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- I left him a message on his talk page, a explanation is needed IMO :) --PierreSelim (talk) 20:47, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- There is no meaning to reverting the POTD page now. Although it was not according to rules, the documentation should be in accordance with reality - the POTD of August 11th was File:Godavari Bridge.jpg, not File:Tyto alba (Scopoli, 1769).jpg. Displaying File:Tyto alba (Scopoli, 1769).jpg as the POTD of this day will only be misleading, and can only prevent it from appearing as a true POTD of another day. Tomer T (talk) 04:01, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- You are quite right we should not prevent this picture to get chosen as POTD in the future (we could already schedule it we have the description in several languages). I removed the POTD template from the description. However I do not support to put the bridge as being POTD for that day. Ok it was displayed, but it was not chosen according to our rules. At best I think we should show no POTD for August 11, 2012 on the POTD page. --PierreSelim (talk) 12:52, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

- Comment We can't know for sure he really knew what he was doing. I think we rather assume good faith. Looking briefly on his en.wiki profile, he doesn't seem like a harmful user, but the other way around - that should have been a mistake. Even if it's written in the POTY page that only FPs can be POTYs, the more probable scenario is that he simply didn't read the guidelines there (which is in itself a mistake, but can be forgiven for a first time mistake) - and he also probably didn't understand the edit summary by Mywood. But, the true fault here was that no admin took care of the situation in time (are we short on admins?). Tomer T (talk) 21:03, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

- Support I wonder how long it takes you to prepare a shot like that. - Benh (talk) 18:11, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment Depends. Since the Gotthard line is quite popular among railfans, I've been there a few times. In 2010 I've taken this picture, and wanted to repeat it with less shadows, more green and better weather. I only got around to actually do it last saturday. So in a sense, more than two years ;) But the actual preparation for saturday was just to find out when to be there (the sun's position should be about right, at least 30° off the axis of the line, there are tools for that), find out how to get there by public transport (I don't have a car) and actually do it... There is enough traffic on the line such that you don't have to worry about actually getting a train in front of the lens (on weekdays it can easily be 8 trains per hour in one direction). Although if you want to take pictures of freight trains, better don't go on sundays. --Kabelleger (talk) 20:57, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

- Info created, uploaded and nominated by Kieff
- Support Per authorship and nomination. Additionally, I believe it fits the relevant criteria:
- Sharp graphics and smooth animation, with meaningful use of colors and high quality anti-aliasing.
- Non-localized captions allow for its use across all projects, regardless of language.
- Significantly improves the relevant article, bringing intuitive sense to the sometimes cryptic mathematical formalism.
- It's mathematically accurate, and the standard presentation of the concept in classrooms and textbooks.
- Well-paced, so each step can be absorbed by the viewer.
- Public domain license.

OpposeOK, most of my maths is far behind me so I apologize in advance for any non relevant comment, but I'm not quite sure of the usefulness of the penultimate step where the red line is stretched to reach the arrows of the axises (I would have skipped it). Or could you explain? Thanks. Also it's not so obvious that a warmer color in the plan means "higher" point. Not specified anywhere in the pic nor the caption. Quite nice otherwise. - Benh (talk) 10:52, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- the switch to 3d view shows quite well the meaning of the colors in fact... forget it, I was a bit too fast at writing this. - Benh (talk) 10:57, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- The stretching illustrates the rectification of curve, which shows the importance to take into account its arc length. The line integral is along the length of the curve, and not a simple distance from a to b or some projection of the curve onto a line. This is what the r(t) part represents, and it's a very important bit. This other animation I created recently illustrates what the arc length of a curve means and what rectification does. As for the colors, they're just to illustrate the overall field and the shape of the surface better. There's no need to explain it too much because they are arbitrary and irrelevant to the concept being presented. — Kieff | KieffWikipedia | Talk 12:32, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
OK. I don't find it obvious that the stretching was a mean to get the length of the arc. On the other animation, the curve transitions to a straight line and the concept is far more obvious. Here, it only misleads (me at least) to understand "simple stretch". And even more since last step "stretches" the arrows again. Even though my math is something of the past, I should be able to get the meaning of an animation which claims to explain complex concepts in an intuitive manner. Or I shall I open again my math books ? ;)One more thing, I think I would display the plan before the red line (otherwise the meaning is unclear at first). - Benh (talk) 15:22, 15 August 2012 (UTC)- Aaah I should really be more careful before writing. The red line goes from curve to straight... and then only do you change the point of view. Maybe the arrow stretching mislead me... Sorry. Looks to me mostly me not understanding well. Then only last sentence is an issue. Changed my vote. Support - Benh (talk) 15:30, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- All right. I'll see if I can address those two issues.
I should have a new version up within the hour.— Kieff | KieffWikipedia | Talk 15:40, 15 August 2012 (UTC)- Here it is. Not a very significant change, and for some reason the new version is 200 kB larger. I don't get it. I uploaded it to imgur instead. — Kieff | KieffWikipedia | Talk 18:32, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for effort (and although u had my support already ;) ) I think these little changes (especially the one on last step) enhance the understanding and space isn't a concern for Commons, so you could probably overwrite. - Benh (talk) 21:40, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Oppose-It's brilliant except for the fact that 0.12 MP is too small.--Gauravjuvekar (talk) 15:47, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- That's not entirely fair for animated images, and even the FP page mentions it:
- Resolution – Images (with the exception of animations, videos, and SVGs)
- There are good technical reasons for the reduced dimensions, too. The MediaWiki running in here has a 12.5 MP limit for generating animated thumbnails. This counts for all the frames, so at 400x300, the hard limit is about 100 frames. For 60 frames, I can go as high as 800x600. However, I explicitly try to keep it under that so that not only the animation may be resized if absolutely necessary, but the original is small enough so that it may be included in the article in its non-resized form.
- I do this because it preserves the dithering and palette management that was tailor-made for the animation. The automatic thumbnails are usually grainy, they mess with the colors and are full of artifacts. Here's this animation at 300px. You'll see that the frames leave ghost "blotches" behind, and in the last part, there are even phantom white lines across the plane. This is not acceptable and can ruin a good animation sometimes.
- I could make a high resolution version, but to be honest, it would add nothing to the animation. — Kieff | KieffWikipedia | Talk 16:37, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- Could you make a higher resolution version and upload it separately(and link to it on the description page)? Images on Commons are reusable outside Wikimedia projects as well. A higher resolution version could be used for example in a slideshow presentation.--Gauravjuvekar (talk)
- A higher resolution version would be better as a video, though. But sure, I can do that. — Kieff | KieffWikipedia | Talk 14:51, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

- In a little more detail: The photo is very noisy (which is made worse because the noise has then been compressed relatively heavily so that details have been lost). Also, the remaining details have been sharpened so that every detail above a certain sharpness has become very heavily sharpened, in some areas resulting in fully white lines with dark outlines. I also don't think the composition works particularly well as the main subject is located in front of other similarly bright objects that are distracting. And my last point was that the images creates no Wow-emotion in me, what I would expect at least to some extend from a featured picture. I hope that clarifies my comment. --Julian H.

- Oppose I don't feel comfortable with showing a picture of a drunk under the logo of a specific beer company, as if it was an indictment of the company. Tomer T (talk) 04:52, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment Dear Tomer, oppose on the editorial/educational value and photographic merits, not because a logo of a company appears in an unfavorable situation to them, who are after all, one of the root causes of alcoholism. Must they only appear with young, beautiful, smiling people? Well, this is the other side of the coin... I have no problem with an oppose under the rules of the game here... but it is not fair to be opposed on grounds different than the ones stated. This photograph meets the technical and educational criteria stated in this forum. Controversial? Perhaps, but controversy is not a criteria for dismissal. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:16, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
- I believe that quality, composition, etc. are not everything. I didn't find that the guidelines require from the reviewrs to rely only on photographic merits and EV, and if they do - that's a mistake. I think neutrality should be kept not only on Wikipedia, but also here, and I should be able to realize this opinion here at FPC. I don't think the image keeps it neutral. I would also vote "oppose" on a Corona advertisement. Tomer T (talk) 10:17, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support Reality is rarely neutral, reassuring or even comfortable. Excellent image. Chapeau! Kleuske (talk) 08:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment FYI: I have nominated this for deletion discussion for the reasons Tomer T gives and also per COM:PEOPLE. Colin (talk) 15:51, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose This image is of very good quality. It is worthy of a great reporter. There are several problems. The person is identifiable, and this fact alone will cause problems, not only in relation to the law but also ethics. If you look closely you can see that the subject is very emaciated, this is not consistent with chronic alcoholism but rather a problem with hard drugs. Has intellectually the right to associate, namely, a beer company in this picture? --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 08:45, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose I suggest blocking Tomascastelazo for this disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate a point. --Yikrazuul (talk) 11:03, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think that is fair (and this isn't Wikipedia btw). This picture is in-scope but has problems. No stock agency would touch it for example. Such a picture may run in a newspaper/magazine but that's up to that organisations legal/ethics and editorial department. We have a guideline on pictures of identifiable people. We may have guidelines on possible defamation of companies but I haven't found one. Colin (talk) 11:12, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Could Tomer T, Archaeodontosaurus and anyone else with a view regarding this picture's moral/ethical/legal issues please comment on the deletion dicussion page, which is the appropriate place and may attract views from those expert in such matters who may not hang around the FPC page. Colin (talk) 11:12, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- I suggest blocking Yikrazuul for making unfounded accusations and trying to make a point by blocking a contributor without reason. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 07:13, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose This is a good picture, but a dangerous one. The obvious visual link between the beer brand and the man is hazardous, risky and dubious IMO. Per Archaeo, no evidence that the picture shows a "public drunkness". A journalist told me that he thinks it could be a "professional fault or abuse". As a former french "DEA" officer, I tend to agree with Archaeo: this man looks like sick because of hard drugs, not because of alcohol. As a law enforcement professional, I think it is not very far from defamation or similar (according to the french law). I don't understand the request of blocking Tomascatelazo in "Commons", as he did nothing against the rules of "Commons".--Jebulon (talk) 12:17, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment A good piece of photojournalism; but difficult to support due to the brand name behind. I don’t think the face of the person is much visible. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 13:57, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment Sorry Jkadavoor, to me it is not a good piece of photojournalism. In the contrary, it is a dangerous "suggestion" for the viewers. The title is/could be an abuse. What says the picture finally ? It says that the man is as he is because he drunk too much Corona beer. That is/could be false. There is no evidence of anything like this in real. --Jebulon (talk) 18:03, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Please don't be that much serious. I like and enjoy the humor and irony here. And I don't think that person drunk 'Corona beer' but may be intoxicated with any drug. (That is just an advertisement; not a beer shop behind.) Everybody can easily understand that this is a composite composition of two subjects to make a single theme in a humorous way. Just my thoughts. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 03:17, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:28, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, isolation, economics, wood vs. metal, etc. but that's not my point: I'm just talking about this window in particular. Why does it need to mimic 18-thcentury wooden windows (the crosses in-between the double glazing… to paraphrase Louis Kahn "what does the aluminum want to be?" not a fake wooden window). I know there are great metal windows, they're just not like cheap wooden windows (and there are hideous wooden windows too). --Coyau (talk) 20:29, 15 August 2012 (UTC) Sorry, my English is proving a little short…

- I see three possibilities here:
- To disregard the invalid vote, like the bot did: this is the only solution in strict accordance with the rules;
- To consider Poco a poco's vote as a normal oppose: I guess (but am not sure) this has been done already with the 'Weak support' votes;
- To ask Poco a poco to revise his vote, as we can only guess what his intention was: probably the wiser way out. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:19, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- Question -- Maybe George Chernilevsky could explain his quick decision? If an automatic outcome is to be extracted from the poll, that should be the one strictly complying with the rules. Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:45, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Alvesgaspar!
- A mistake of FPCbot not give chance for promotion. All is correct by rules now, and it not reason for debate. 11-6 is clear result, sorry. "Weak" is only emotional comment for voting. Voting time is over, so any vote cannot be changed. I closed similar result many times.
- With best regards, -- George Chernilevsky talk 05:08, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- George, a weak support is not a valid vote template. This is clearly specified in Commons:Featured picture candidates#Voting. Thus, it shall not be counted as an oppose but as an invalid vote. FPCbot did the count correctly. I have to disagree with this closure. --Slaunger (talk) 10:21, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- So result is now 5:0 => not featured. templates {{s}}, templates {{o}} is not according by by rules and is invalid... nonsense. I don't understand this desire to get FP award with bypassing rules. Alvesgaspar, you made a lot of things for improvement of FPC rules. The law should be identical to all. And template {{weak oppose}} could be added to FPCbot script to prevent similar mistake.
- With best regards, --George Chernilevsky talk 19:53, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- {{S}} and {{O}} are redirects to {{Support}} and {{Oppose}} and thus equivalent. That cannot be compared to {{Weak support}}, which renders differently (uses another image and default text). I do not think it is so much about overturning a vote for this specific nomination, it is more the principle. That Poco a poco should have been asked to clarify his vote prior to confirming closure. He has done this now, and deemed it as an oppose, so the end result is OK, now that we know that is what he meant, but this was not clear at the time of closure. --Slaunger (talk) 20:07, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- @George, if you read carefully everything I have written you will realize that it is not at all my wish to get a FP award by gaming the rules. Being here for so long time, you really should know better about my motivations! Anyway, your opinion is most welcome at the talk page, as I think the principle (not the case!) should be discussed and the rules clarified. Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:26, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

- Give us a break with your sensibilities. Back to the subject: why is it so important that this pictures has a reference to the train station? It's a fact, that this building part is a detail of a train station. In this case a interesting part of a brick construction. So why a reference for showing an architectural feature? That you find this picture boring is at liberty to do this, but for sure not a valuable or constructive expression of opinion. --Wladyslaw (talk) 14:46, 17 August 2012 (UTC) P.S.

This photo was taken during a protest against ACTA in Toulouse (Note the author of the banner clearly said it was not copyrighted: slogan non copyrighté).

- Info Common Mormon (Papilio polytes) Female, Form Romulus. This is a common species of swallowtail butterfly widely distributed across Asia. This butterfly is known for the mimicry displayed by the numerous forms of its females which mimic inedible Red-bodied Swallowtails, such as the Common Rose and the Crimson Rose. This female form mimics the Crimson Rose and is common over its range. It is easy to differentiate the mimics from models by the colour of their body—the models are red-bodied and the mimics are black-bodied.

And concluded that neither the composition nor the image quality (light, detail, contrast) are comparable with them (with this one, for example). What I don't like in this picture is the apparently random framing (crop?), the uninteresting composition and the flat lighting. Please go on trying! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:06, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- Good points. This was taken in the low evening lights. The subject is very restless and perch only in the evening to take rest or to taking small warm-ups in the available lights as in this case. (They will not perch on flowers; drink nectar on flight while flapping the wings like a humming bird.) So I was in a hurry and the subject is already detected my presence behind probably from the sound of my foot impressions. There is some motion on the head and it flew away immediately. (Not an argument; some interesting points about the behavior of the subject.) -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 15:53, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

- This image is excellent, among the best I've seen for a long time.

And I love COMMONS. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 12:53, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- Great argument (and I appreciate your selfless contributions to the Commons); but we have to protect our right to fight against the evil.

I really don´t have a problem with opposes, just as long as they are done within the criteria of this forum. There are clear guidelines about the parameters for featurable pictures and I believe this has several that make it a viable candidate. A pretty picture? Definitely not. A valuable image that clearly illustrates a social problem? Definitely yes. Acceptable photographic technique? I say yes, but my opinion there may be tainted, so I leave that up to the community. To oppose on grounds or principles outside the established criteria is like punishing a soccer player according to violations of basketball. Otherwise, the whole issue is a joke. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 12:22, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- A valuable image that clearly illustrates a social problem? Definitely yes. Dear Tomascastelazo, I strongly disagree. Where do you see that this man is drunk ? And how do you can assume that if this man is drunk, it is due to abuse of "Corona" beer ? In my opinion, and it is not a drama (you know I like your style of pictures), nothing is "clear" here. Could smell like an (efficient) intellectual manipulation, sorry.--Jebulon (talk) 17:16, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- Dear Jebulon, I agreed that the original title was perhaps misleading, so I changed the name of the file to something inequivocal: the man is sleeping on the sidewalk. Nowhere do I say that the man is drunk, only that he is sleeping on the sidewalk. Now, to state that the man is not on some sort of social/economic/health problem would be foolish. A picture is a thousand words, and this picture speaks for thousands and thousands of people around the world, in similar conditions. We citizens of the western world see this problem and refuse to deal with it, proof of it is that it exists everywhere, if we were to spend a fraction of our military money on improving these conditions, maybe this picture would not happen. The real obscenity is not this man or this picture, it is that despite all the resources that we have, we allow this to happen. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:39, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support -- A high quality documentary photo leaving space for individual interpretation. This should be featured. However, some users here are afraid of their or others' individual interpretations.

- Oppose I would like to have photojournalism feature picture, however I find the work to be deceiving, the association between Corona and the state of this guy are clearly implied by the photographer however as said by Jebulon and Archeodontausorus this guys seems to suffer from drugs more than Corona. In this kind of picture the composition is everything, and here the Corona logo is in it, it's a no go except if you there is a consensus on that guy being drunk because of Corona beer. --PierreSelim (talk) 08:50, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support This is the kind of image that makes Commons a valueable place. This image is telling a story, unlike the gazillion images of bugs, landscapes and sunsets we see on a daily basis. A rare feature that we tend to find only amongst the archival material of GLAM cooperation these days. Feel encouraged to take more images like this one. Regards, Peter Weis (talk) 10:32, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- This image is telling a story... maybe an untrue story... Furthermore I'm not personaly a great fan of landscapes, bugs or sunsets, but I'm not sure this picture needs the disparagement of others to be efficiently supported...--Jebulon (talk) 15:56, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- Dear Jebulon, can there be a true story in photography? Any photograph at most will only tell a partial truth, but is the rest untrue? What is true or untrue about this photograph? In photography, the instant that the camera clicks, will only capture partial reality, and tell a story, and at the same time will leave out elements that may contradict the story... The questions here that must be answered are: does it contribute to the graphic description of human behaviour? Of substance abuse? Is it a good photograph from the technical perspective such as exposure, composition, etc.? If we are to question the validity of the illustration intentions of every photograph, how many would we have? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:22, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

- Oppose No problem with the motif, since the man is not identifiable. But I don't see enough WOW and encyclopedic usefulness for an FP though... - A.Savin 20:50, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- Neutral Honestly, this is cheap way to create emotional photo. Everyone has a story but misery always seems to be more photogenic... at least to wealthy people like most of us are I assume (when one can afford a DSLR, an Internet connection, and has time to contribute, I believe his essential needs are satisfied). Many could shot this, but not everyone dare intruding into people's intimacy and sharing to the world like that. That said, the composition is nice. And the face is barely identifiable (if identifiable at all). All this for a neutral ;-) (lots of blabbering for nothing in the end...) - Benh (talk) 23:19, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment And given that there can be cheap critiques despite the capacity to offer an objective photographic and intellectual opinion, the question is, does this picture illustrate a social phenomena or not, aligned with the objectives and scope of Commons? Does this photograph have artistic, technical, descriptive and photographic merit? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 02:17, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- I think it does. I talked about composition as a reason for neutral instead of oppose. I mainly mention ethical issues here as downsides (but they are much better summarized by Colin in his deletion request). I wouldn't even dare pointing my lens at him. And when I have nice picture of people, I think twice before even uploading. You can't really talk about objective opinions, which by definition are subjective... I gave mine and I think I took the time to justify it. - Benh (talk) 12:29, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

- Support Every image is subject to interpretation. This one more so than others, but that should not preclude it from being featured here on Commons. This is avery good photo and meets all criteria normally used. The arguments agaist seem more appropriate for an FPC at en-Wiki. Saffron Blaze (talk) 21:35, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose Per PierreSelim. -- Achird (talk) 14:15, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment Someone is playing very dirty here... the original file that I uploaded was titled "Public drunkness." People objected to such title alleging that there was no proof that the man was drunk and its "possible" association to Corona beer. A deletion request was initiated under the pretext of the name of the file and it is an ongoing discussion. So I uploaded the file under the new name, "man sleeping on a sidewalk" which is the observable behavior. So now someone has redirected the new file to the old file giving the impression that they are both the same and linking both images to the same criticism, deletion request, etc. This file redirect is definitely objectionable because it has the potential to contaminate the new file and the FPC process by giving the impression that the file may be deleted or whatever. The vote on this file is now compromised for we have no way of knowing which votes have been biased due to the redirect. I request that whoever did so undo the redirect and treat each file separately. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:16, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Please assume good faith. I don't think there is malice involved here. I have contacted the user who replaced File:Man sleeping on a sidewalk.jpg with the redirect. I think this was done as part of routine housekeeping to eliminate duplicate files. Clearly in this case, with both files being subject to ongoing review (for deletion or FP!) then they should have remained untouched. Colin (talk) 19:06, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment Malice or not, the process has been tampered with. Your comment below is irrelevant to this process and editorializes your oppose, (your oppose is fine if done within the scope of this forum). However, venting and linking two issues here is inappropriate, corrupting this process. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 19:26, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose As others have commented, the filename change has merely moved an explicit insult (that an identifiable man is drunk, and Corona are part of the general problem) to an implicit one that is blatant given the framing and ironic small-print on the advert. Whether this new file is troublesome enough to get deleted is uncertain, as the deletion review of the first is still underway and by no means unanimous. So the issues remain, and these issues significantly lower its value to the project (which is a criterion) in my opinion. Colin (talk) 19:06, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment How can good faith be assumed now that after many hours of pointing out that the linking of the two files basically result on tampering with both the FPC process and the DR process and the redirect has not been removed? Compromising the integrity and honesty of this forum is a high price to pay for wanting to see a picture removed from Commons. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 05:31, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- Just to clarify, who exactly are you acusing of "Compromising the integrity and honesty of this forum". With hindsight, uploading a duplicate file with a different name, while the deletion review is underway, has resulted in problems. I don't believe you did this to game the system (as some accuse) nor do I believe the resulting cock-up with redirects was a "dirty" act as you accuse. Why are you complaining on this forum (I'm no admin, for example, so there's nothing I can do to help) rather than asking another admin to review that admin's edits and camly request the redirect/delete be undone. If there's a consensus that this FPC has been damaged by the mistake, then we can run a fresh one once the deletion review has finished. At present File:Man sleeping on a sidewalk.jpg is deleted and is a redirect page. So it can't possibly become an FP. What are you going to do about that? Colin (talk) 07:58, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- It is irrelevant as to who. The fact of the mater is whomever it was screwed the photographer over. The intent was to upload a new file with a less contentious name but instead that file gets deleted and re-directed to the contentious one. I would suggest the author simply request a file name change as opposed to adding a new file. 131.137.245.209 09:28, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- @ Colin: Whoever deleted the file and redirected it, conscious or not, crossed two different unrelated processes. Whether it has done good or bad it is impossible to tell, but it seems to serve the interests of wanting the original file deleted, and damaging the chances of nomination of this image. One clear result is that both separate processes have been tampered with, losing the objectivity and the integrity of both processes. This vote is corrupted, and doing nothing, being quiet about it is being an accomplice of such corruption. Too bad. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:05, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- The only person who is "doing nothing, being quiet about it" is, effectively, you! You're moaning here to folk who can do absolutely nothing about it and are getting tired of your continued accusations of bad faith actions. I've tried contacting the admin who did the delete/redirect. You haven't. I've suggested you contact some other admin but you haven't. This is your nomination and these are your files. If you want something done about the problems, go find someone who can help. And I warn you that an admin might view your continued bad-faith accusations very poorly. Colin (talk) 21:48, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- @Colin, it was you that started the whole mess with your DR, the redirect of this file serves the purpose of the DR (which by the way the trend is to keep). A lot of the players from this forum jumped over to that one and viceversa, contaminating each process. As simple as that. This vote was tampered with any way you want to look at it. I brought it to the attention of the public because I believe that these issues have to see the public light. Objectivity was lost here. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 02:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

- Question -- I'm breaking the self-imposed interaction ban with Tomascastelazo to ask a candid question: why wasn't the file renamed yet in accordance with the uploader's request? I'm trying hard to assume good faith but if something looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

- Support -- I like the simplicity and symmetry (which is not strictly observed, look at the stairway!). Maybe the color saturation could be a bit increased, as it might have been affected by the brightness adjustment. Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:49, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

- A loss of sharpness is rare because I always develop it new from the RAW file. I uploaded a new version with the hope to meet everybody's expectations, Poco a poco (talk) 20:49, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose unsharp, overexposed, oversaturated and too much sky. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 13:16, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose, my eyes … too bright and too satured. It isn't sharp either, and the whole composition with too much sky and the cropped staircase does not convince me. Sorry, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:46, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- If somebody still cares I fixed the sharpness problem. It was affecting all my edited pictures of the last days and was related to my work flow. Regarding saturation / exposure I also made an update, but will not change the composition. Poco a poco (talk) 16:16, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

- Info Colt 1911 model semi-automatic .45 caliber pistol used by Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme to try and assassinate President Gerald R. Ford on September 5, 1975, in Sacramento, California. One side of slide marked “Model of 1911 U.S. Army.” Opposite side of slide marked “Colt's PT.F.A. MFG. Co. / Hartford. CT. U.S.A.” Serial number on the weapon is 94854. From the collections of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum. Bdcousineau (talk) 19:48, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I'm uploading artifacts from the Ford Presidential Museum, and wanted to see how photos of historically important objects do in competition with photographs of landscapes and animals. I realize it's a macabre choice. Thanks for not rejecting immediately! Bdcousineau (talk) 19:48, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- I think it is important to draw a distinction between Commons and en-WP. Here "wow" plays an equally important role as "value". At en-WP value is held in higher esteem. Here a picture of toaster is not likely to get FP on Commons, but at en-WP it could sail through with unanimous support if it is quality image of toaster that supports the article it is in. Your photo may have better sucess there if it is used meaningfully in an article. 131.137.245.208 08:36, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

- Support -- Jujutacular (talk) 05:52, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose Quite soft and looks like NR was a bit strong (lack of details). But my main concern are the lighting and that horizon line on the right side which just doesn't seem to match the left side. Probably because of (I would say) bad stitching, despite lack of evidence of errors (blending is usually good at hiding them on such subjects). Or is it just how it's supposed to look like? - Benh (talk) 13:53, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I think the colour balance is off. --99of9 (talk) 23:32, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support I agree about the colour balance. However, I adjusted the color balance a bit and did a small chromatic aberration reducal operation. If you dislike the new version, feel free to revert it back! --Ximonic (talk) 14:02, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- I was about to upload my own edit of the color balance, but yours looks good to me! Thanks. Jujutacular (talk) 02:46, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose I think the composition could be better, the top of the rock is really close to the top of the picture, it gives to me a feeling of tight crop. --PierreSelim (talk) 08:09, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
