Used in	Global usage
Review (criteria)	Oppose Scope should be "Haliaeetus leucocephalus (bald eagle)". I'm really not sure it is the best picture we have of the species, even in a "perched" position. --Eusebius (talk) 07:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC) I'm sure we can change the scope and specify perched, and then have one for flying position. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:56, 10 November 2008 (UTC) You can just change the scope yourself during the review and use {{VIC-scope-change|old scope|new scope|--~~~~}} (see at the bottom of this page). --Eusebius (talk) 11:03, 10 November 2008 (UTC) Scope changed from 'Bald Eagle perched' to Haliaeetus leucocephalus (Bald Eagle perched) --Rlevse • Talk • 21:43, 10 November 2008 (UTC) Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".  Oppose Still oppose. Several reasons: 1) missing geotag, 2) still unsure about the "perched" thing in the scope (although it wouldn't motivate an oppose in itself) and 3) I think this one is better: the bird looks nicer and more of it is shown (talon). --Eusebius (talk) 22:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC) Added geoloc, but i know it's a lost cause. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC) Result: 0 support, 2 oppose => declined. -- Lycaon (talk) 08:57, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
