I believe the Curruca sarda's appearance varies by sex. --Zzzs (talk) 23:58, 30 June 2024 (UTC) During spring you can distinguish the male from the female but in winter you can't really conclude. This is a picture taken in winter. I think it's more of a male but I'm not 100% sure so I prefer not to specify. El Golli Mohamed (talk) 00:08, 1 July 2024 (UTC)  Support OK then.

Review Page (edit) Nominated by: El Golli Mohamed (talk) on 2024-07-04 22:01 (UTC) Scope: Wildlife photographer wearing camouflage clothing, using binoculars  Support best in scope.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 04:44, 5 July 2024 (UTC)  Oppose "Wildlife photographer wearing camouflage clothing" seems reasonable but IMHO "using binoculars" makes the scope overly descriptive and unnecessarily narrow. :A further query - if the scope was just "Wildlife photographer wearing camouflage clothing", is there a difference between the more conventional camouflage clothing shown here and a ghillie suit?

Review Page (edit) Nominated by: GRDN711 (talk) on 2024-07-05 18:04 (UTC) Scope: SME PLAT-I horizontal, in-stream, tidal energy generator Reason: When I originally made this image, I did not know what was this strange device floating in the harbor. I subsequently discovered that it is one of the many attempts at renewable tidal power generation using a horizontal, in-stream, turbine design. What distinguishes this device is that it attempts to be a power supply focused at a community level (no large infrastructure required) and was constructed by a local builder of lobster boats. While the developer, Sustainable Marine Energy, has subsequently floundered financially, this image has value documenting one of the many attempts of renewable tidal power generation. -- GRDN711 (talk)  Oppose It's interesting but for a VI the device in question is too small in the image. The photo is taken from very far away.El Golli Mohamed (talk) 23:28, 5 July 2024 (UTC)  Comment I thought it would be helpful to provide wider image as context for the function of this tidal energy generator. Still, you raise a good point for VI. I have cropped the imagte more tightly to the device. --GRDN711 (talk) 01:02, 6 July 2024 (UTC) Open for review.
