Info This tablecloth was made by my mother a long time ago and I still use it in special days
Support It satisfies all the criteria 1 to 6. There are a fair number of competing images, but none I think that are as good as this. --MichaelMaggs08:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
CommentCrochet work can be many things and I think it is hard to say which of the images in, e.g., Category:Crochet lace is the most valuable. There are different styles belonging to different time periods and regions. The image nominated is probably the one in the selection of the best photographic quality, it is also convincing in illustrating some of the matehmatical symmetries often found in crouchet work. However (and with all due respect to yuour mothers work) it does not show the full potential of what crouchet work can be. On inspection I think only 2-3 different types of "stitches" (do not know if that is the correct English term) is used, quite typical for the crouchet boom in the 60-70's to which this work belogs. A more refined work concerning stitches is perhaps Image:Irish crochet.jpg, which is typical of Irish crochet and, e.g. Image:Crochet sweden.jpg. What I am trying to say with all this is that the current scope is perhaps too general for the image, so I would suggest that you narrow down the scope to a slightly more specific one, for instance, "Crochet table cloth". You can also try and keep the scope in which case I will let it complete with the two mentioned images in an MVR. -- Slaunger20:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are right, the scope is probably too broad. The problem is I know nothing about crochet and all its different techniques and "stitches" (?). Yes, I could narrow the scope to something like "crochet tablecloth" but I don't like it. A narrower scope should be based on the different styles or techniques, not the applications. Conclusion: please go ahead with the MVR, I think this pic has a fair chance! -- Alvesgaspar22:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And I think you are right in your reasoning that a narrower scope should not be based on the application. Maybe other users have better ideas. Anyway, I have gone ahead with the MVR. Let the best candidate win! -- Slaunger22:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I saw the other two images and concluded that this one was a better illustration of the general scope. The others may be better at illustrating specific stitches or styles. --MichaelMaggs06:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
