概要[edit]

推薦にあたって[edit]

推薦者のためのガイドライン[edit]

まずはじめに、『秀逸な画像ガイドライン』、『画像のガイドライン』をお読みください。

ここでは推薦画像の評価を受ける・する際の必要事項を要約して紹介します。

  • 解像度 - 200万ピクセル以下の写真画像は、特別な理由が無い限り却下されます。1,600 x 1,200 ピクセル（1.92メガピクセル）は200万ピクセルには届いていない事にご注意ください。
コモンズに置かれた画像は一般的なＰＣモニターのみで閲覧されるとは限らず、プリントアウトや高解像度モニターで表示される可能性もあります。将来的にもどのような機器が用いられるようになるかは誰にも予想出来ないので、推薦画像が可能な限り高い解像度を保っている事は重要な事なのです。
  • スキャン画像 - 公式な方針ではありませんが、Help:スキャニングページで各種様々な画像を準備するための有用なアドバイスが提供されています。
  • フォーカス - 通常、重要な被写体は全て焦点が合っていなければいけません。
  • 前景と背景 - 前景や背景に主題ではない物が写り込むと、それは“余計なもの”になり得ます。前景にある物が主題の重要な部分を隠していないか、背景にあるものが構図を損ねていないか（例：後ろの街灯が人物の頭の上から生えているように見える、等）を確認しましょう。
  • 全体品質 - 推薦される画像には高い技術品質が要求されます。
  • デジタル補正 - 見る人を欺いてはいけません。写真画像のキズ・ホコリ等を修正する、良い編集、故意に人を騙す目的でない限り、デジタル補正は一般的に歓迎されます。例を挙げると、色合い/露出補正、シャープ/ボカシ、遠近感歪み補正、トリミング（切り取り）等がこれにあたります。背景に写り込んだ余計な物を取り除く等のさらに大がかりな修正は、{{Retouched picture}}テンプレートを画像ページへ貼付け、修正した旨を記述しましょう。記述漏れや記述ミスがある等、主題を不正確に見せる編集は決して受け入れられません。
  • 価値 - 『全ての画像の中でも特に際立ち、最も価値のある画像』が我々の大きな目標です。秀逸な画像はそれぞれの分野の中でも別格でなけらばならず、故に次の点に留意して下さい。
    • たいていの夕日は美しく見えますが、そういう画像のほとんどは他の夕日画像と大差ありません。
    • 夜景は美しいですが、普通は日中に撮影された写真の方がより詳細を見せてくれます。
    • 必ずしも『美しさに価値がある』わけではありません。

技術的側面では『露出』、『構図』、『動感表現』、『被写界深度』等を見ます。

  • 露出とはシャッタースピードと絞りとの組み合わせの事を言い、適切なトーンカーブが見せる陰影〜ハイライトが有用なディティールを描写します。これをラティチュード（露光寛容度）と言い、このラティチュードの陰影〜ハイライトの領域内において、画像を暗め、中庸、明るめに作る事が出来ますが、デジタルカメラ及びデジタル画像はこのラティチュードの範囲がフィルムに比べて狭いです。ディティールの欠損した影部分は必ずしも「悪い」わけではなく、実際にその様な効果が望ましい場合（部分）もあります。ただしディティールの欠損したハイライト部分が大きく面積を占めるのは良くありません。
  • 構図とは画像画面内での各要素の配置の事を言います。“三分割法”は構図作成には良い方法で、美術学校でも教えられています。まず、画像に水平線と垂直線をそれぞれ２本引き、画像を水平・垂直方向とも３分割します。主題を中央に配置するとたいていは画面に面白味を欠き、水平線と垂直線が交差する４つの交点の内どれか１つに主題を置いた方が良い画面になるでしょう。地平線は画面を半分に切ってしまうので、通常は地平線を中央に配置するべきではありません。上寄り、若しくは下寄りに配置させる方が良いでしょう。主たる考え方としては空間を上手に使い、躍動感・臨場感のある画面を作るという事です。
  • 動感表現 - ここでは被写体の「動き」を表現する手法を紹介します。動きのある被写体は止まって見えるか、もしくはブレて写りますが、これらはどちらの方が良いとは必ずしも言えず、どのような表現意図を持っているかによります。「動感」は主題と共に写り込んでいる他の背景等との関係で表現されます。例えばレーシングカーの撮影。車と背景とが共に止まって見えては、見る側にスピード感は伝わってきません。　なので撮影手法によって車は画面内で止まっているように写り、かつ背景をブレさせることでスピード感が表現され、このような手法を「パンニング（流し撮り）」と呼びます。一方で、背景と共に止まって撮られた高く跳躍したバスケットボール選手は、これは決定的瞬間の「不自然」なポーズになり、これも良い写真になり得るでしょう。
  • 被写界深度（DOF）とは主題の前側から後ろ側までのフォーカスエリアの事を言います。被写界深度は全ての画像で明解な意図のもと選択され、深い、または浅い被写界深度は、画像に品質を与えもし、また損なわせもします。浅い被写界深度は、主題を他の被写体から切り離し、見せたい被写体に注目を集めることが出来ます。深い被写界深度は空間を強調させる事が出来ます。広角（短焦点）レンズは深い被写界深度、逆に望遠（長焦点）レンズは浅い被写界深度が得られる傾向があります。また絞りを絞り込むと被写界深度は深く、解放すると浅い被写界深度が得られます。

グラフィック要素では形状、ボリューム、色、テクスチャー、遠近感、バランス、比率 等を見ます。

  • 形状とは主題に対する輪郭線、及び形状を言います。
  • ボリュームとは主題の立体感に対する品質を言います。立体感は横からのライティングで表現出来、反対に正面からのライティングは被写体を平坦に見せる傾向があり、不向きとされています。自然光の中でベストな光を得るには、早朝か、もしくは夕方の日の光が良いでしょう。
  • 色は大変重要で、強すぎる色合いは好ましくありません。
  • テクスチャーとは主題の表面材質の描写性に於ける品質を言います。表面材質は横からのライティングにより強調され、手に触れて伝わるかのような質感を与えます。
  • 遠近感とは、画像の画面内若しくは外にある消失点で繋がる放射状の直線、これに沿った形で現れる「角度」により表現されます。
  • バランスでは画像の画面内での重心が左右均衡か、若しくは片方に寄る等適切な配置が成されているかを見ます。
  • 比率では画面の大きさに対する被写体の大きさを見ます。一般的に、小さな被写体は小さく写真に表現してしまう傾向にありますが、相応しい撮影手法により小さな被写体を実寸とは逆に大きく見せる事が可能です。例えば、小さな花を大きな山よりも大きく見る事が出来ます。この手法を指して「倒置法」と呼びます。
主題の全ての要素を画像に盛込む必要はありません。多くの写真はそれぞれの個性で評価出来ます。すなわち、画像の色やテクスチャー等々により判断出来ます。
  • 『象徴性か妥当性か』　ー　『秀逸な画像』ではしばしばこのようなテーマで意見論争が起こる傾向にあります。技術的・品質的には出来の悪い写真でも極めて撮影困難な被写体を捉えた写真は、凡庸な被写体を写した品質的に良い写真よりも評価されます。もちろん撮影困難な被写体を写し、かつ品質も良い写真は極めて価値の高い写真と言えます。
画像は時に撮影者と評価者、若しくはどちらか片方の文化的な偏りが見られます。画像の意図は画像そのものの文化的背景により評価されるべきであり、評価者の文化的背景に依存してはいけません。イメージは人に語りかけ、そして慈しみ、怒り、拒絶、幸せ、悲しみ等の感情を喚起させる力を持っています。良い写真から与えられる心地よさには限りがありません。


画像のガイドラインを事前に読めば、あなたの推薦が成就する可能性を最大限に引き伸ばしてくれるでしょう。

  •  Oppose The photo was taken in right place and right time, firefighter's face shows interesting emotions, but the image has multiple problems. Composition is the most severe IMO, including cut off feet of the firefighter, partly cut off police officer, cut off part of firefighting car, looks like that the crop was rather random. The verticals are not vertical. The sky is blown out. Midtones are rather noisy. --LexKurochkin (talk) 18:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I really like the expression on the firefighter's face, but per above, the image is clearly tilted even in thumbnail size and the crop on the right is kind of messy. There is potential here though. Cmao20 (talk) 20:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cmao20: I'd be interested in working on composition if there is potential. Cropping and rotation would be fairly simple, but I have no experience dealing with noisy midtones or blown out skies. gobonobo + c 22:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly there's not much you can do about the problems LexKurochkin mentions unless you have access to the RAW file. There isn't any point trying to recover detail in the highlights when it's just not there. Cropping and rotation would at the very least improve this image considerably and make it much more useful for visitors to Commons. Cmao20 (talk) 22:29, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • IMO, no, it's a nice composition. But besides, didn't that issue disappear from the art world when Warhol's Campbell's soup cans were accepted as art, not just commercial art? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:10, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, since chocolate isn't the only thing called Kit Kat, you need to specify the name of your photo a bit better. I always associate Kit Kat with the nightclub in Cabaret, since we rarely see these chocolate bars here in Sweden. We have Kexchoklad instead. ;-) --Cart (talk) 23:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Strong oppose This image is technically poor and, more importantly, ethically wrong. Its crop is awkward, and its composition is lacking. You cannot feature an image of plastic bottles. This tool kills millions of animals each year; they are omnipresent, and I can't bear them. To say I'm disappointed is a huge understatement. Wikimedia Commons is a large project, and we cannot feature images that encourage global destruction. Wolverine XI 21:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose There is nothing ethically wrong with this image at all, I disagree with the above vote on that score. It should absolutely be possible to feature a picture of something that causes environmental destruction. Featuring something doesn't mean that we approve of it. It means that the photograph is good enough to provoke emotions in us, which might be curiosity, or wonder, or - just as easily - horror. A picture illustrating how much damage mankind is causing to the environment is absolutely worthy of FP if otherwise good quality and well composed. It might inspire people to become more interested in environmental protection.
That said, I do agree with the above vote that the composition/crop of this image is not outstanding and that this precludes it from FP to me. Cmao20 (talk) 22:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In 2011, my dog choked on plastic and died. As a child, I was devastated. That is the fundamental reason I believe plastic bottles are unethical; I have seen plastics on beaches, in suburban areas in all of the nations I have visited, and even in the most remote locations. So, if I follow your logic, a picture of, say, individuals robbing from a bank will discourage theft? No, it won't. Humans speak and speak and speak, but they do not act. I have done my part, and I would like to encourage you to do yours. @Cmao20: you might want to reconsider your statement. Wolverine XI 11:04, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What about mosquitoes? Are they allowed or not? I remember them biting my cousin in 2009. Maybe time to update our eligibility rules for some topics? -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wolverine, I'm sincerely sorry for your loss. However, my brother was hit by a car in front of me in 1970, and I don't oppose car nominations on that basis. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:32, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Basile, mosquitos are not an issue; they do not harm the environment. It's also difficult to update what has been ingrained in your brain for so long. Ikan, wait, you can still recall events from the 1970s. Wow, I am impressed. I've never lived during the decade, but I imagine it was fantastic. Anyways, thanks for your condolences. I'd also add that we all handle stressful situations in different ways, and this is just how I handle things, I suppose. Wolverine XI 19:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was born in 1965. The 70s had some excellent music, but it was a horrible decade for New York City, which almost went bankrupt during the Fiscal Crisis and was dangerous, scary, violent and dirty, though affordable. I'll add that I also couldn't vote on an FPC nomination for a very good photo of a heroic equestrian statue of Khmelnitsky that truly glorifies that Jew-murderer, but I abstained while stating why I was too biased to vote yea or nay and didn't oppose for that reason. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Interesting texture and educational picture. We had similar subjects promoted FP in the past, like a truck in a recycling center, for example. Unfortunately not the best technical quality here -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:15, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Yes, important picture, and the idea that it's immoral to photograph subjects that show the ills of society is abhorrent to me, because it suggests to me that the moral thing is to ignore them, and ignoring them is the best way to ensure that they continue, unchallenged. Consider nominating in an appropriate scope in COM:VIC if there isn't already a VI in that scope and this is best in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, the picture is about PET bottles recycling. So, it is ethical and respectful attempt to avoid ill and ugly wasting natural resources and minimizing ecology damage. But I agree with you about the principle. We should show ugly, ill, unpleasant things if we want to solve the problems. LexKurochkin (talk) 20:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed, these are among the very few plastic bottles that are being recycled at least once. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:45, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Honestly, screw plastic bottles and single-use plastics that have destroyed our oceans, but this image is a perfect showcase of why they suck and why their production deserves to die in vein (and having done several beach cleanups, I can attest that the problem is only getting worse). But, I'm not a fond of the crop so I will too  oppose, but agree with Ikan Kekek that this would be more appropriate for COM:VIC. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:32, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Water flea from the ceriodaphnia family. Ceriodaphnia is a genus of the Daphniidae
  •  Comment If this little creature is a member of the Ceriodaphnia genus, it belongs to the Daphniidae family, right? Then please use Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Arthropods#Family : Daphniidae as gallery link (just as I have corrected this above) – and also for any other photos of any Daphniidae. Thank you! – Aristeas (talk) 10:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Identified by genus and quite interesting. I have another request, though: Could you please state in the file description what degree of magnification we are seeing? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:39, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Magnification in photomicrography is actually a very complex concept. People may not understand it. When I say that the magnification is 10x, you have to understand what 10x is about. This is related to the size of the camera sensor and requires special calculations to measure it. But in the end, this information does not give anything to the viewer, because it is not understood. It's easier to tell how big the water flea itself is, but I usually don't measure them. Janeklass (talk) 17:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I still feel that it's helpful, but I think this photo is worth supporting, in any case. The other one shouldn't be an FP without the categorization being fixed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Caravaggio, The Entombment of Christ
  • Personally I will support if it is a work by a reasonably well-known artist (i.e. notable enough to make their work important) that has at least some aesthetic appeal to me and if the quality of the reproduction is good. In this case the painting has a Wikipedia article so its notability is clear. Cmao20 (talk) 00:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the answer, but I'm not sure that the presence of a Wikipedia article should influence the choice, in the case of choosing other digital images the presence of a Wikipedia article in 9 cases out of 10 plays no role at all. Why does it matter in this case? JukoFF (talk) 01:11, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I mean it's not essential. For the artist to have a WP article is probably enough for me. I think our job re. artworks on Commons FP is to build a library of high-quality digitisations of artwork that might plausibly be considered great or valuable.

  • Can you not answer the question? I'm not saying the result is bad, I'm asking whether Wikipedia/Commons should be fiddling around with other's images.

  • I'm not saying the artwork doesn't have artistic value but the nominator made it clear that this image was uploaded to Commons as part of a paid project. Octoviison media is not the photographer, just a production company employed by Leeds to promote the city. We have no information on copyright though I guess the photographer assigned his rights to the production company. Don't we need to know who took the photo? Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello @Charlesjsharp - Octovision Media is a drone photographer based in Hull, who assigned their images to Leeds 2023 (Leeds Culture Trust) and gave permission for this image and a couple of others to be released under an open license. They are not a "production company employed by Leeds to promote the city". Secondly, again, I looked carefully at the guidelines here and I could not see where it precludes nominations from paid projects, indeed there are examples from other paid projects like this that have already been Featured on Commons. This one was voted for with support by a number of people, including yourself. Lajmmoore (talk) 18:57, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not so. Octovision Media is a corporate entity, not a photographer. It employs photographers/drone operators. And we can assume they were paid to take the promotional photo. The image I supported is sharing culture. Not the same as pushing the merits of Leeds as a city. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:44, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose No promotion please Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you @Charlesjsharp it's good to have open disucssion. 1) This is is a cultural project, part of a Wikimedian-in-Residence project to share Leeds' cultural heritage - like hundreds of other GLAM partnerships. 2) I don't think it matters that they were originally paid for the image, what matters for Commons is that it is now available in the public domain, which it is - this isn't precluded anywhere. If it was all the hundreds of historic photos taken in professional studios (that are now in the public domain) would be disallowed because at the time a photographer was paid for them by the sitters. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:26, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Let’s look at this in a more relaxed way. Do we have a sharp distinction between selfless contributions and promotion? I don’t think so. There is plenty of promotional material on Commons user pages as well as on file pages. Just look at all the links to personal websites, assorted photography projects, wildlife parks and reserves, etc. Some users even have their websites included in the ‘Author’ or ‘Source’ parameters on Commons, even if they upload their files directly … This is all common(s) practice. Now what is worse with this photo? It does not cry “Buy x!” or “Come to y!” or “Vote for z!”. It does not even say “NN is a great photographer!”. It just documents an interesting work of art and can be used for many things. So why shouldn’t we welcome this photo? – Aristeas (talk) 12:10, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Utterly ridiculous accusation. Poco cast four other oppose votes on other nominations within the same 15-minute span as the two negative votes on your nominations. (One of them is my nomination.) Is he apparently feuding with all these people too as well as you? No evidence of 'personal grudges' here at all, timestamps clearly indicate someone just going through the list of current nominations and reviewing them objectively (he cast two support votes too). I think an apology is owed for the false accusation and the passive-aggressive tone. Cmao20 (talk) 01:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose The photo was taken in right place and right time, firefighter's face shows interesting emotions, but the image has multiple problems. Composition is the most severe IMO, including cut off feet of the firefighter, partly cut off police officer, cut off part of firefighting car, looks like that the crop was rather random. The verticals are not vertical. The sky is blown out. Midtones are rather noisy. --LexKurochkin (talk) 18:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I really like the expression on the firefighter's face, but per above, the image is clearly tilted even in thumbnail size and the crop on the right is kind of messy. There is potential here though. Cmao20 (talk) 20:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cmao20: I'd be interested in working on composition if there is potential. Cropping and rotation would be fairly simple, but I have no experience dealing with noisy midtones or blown out skies. gobonobo + c 22:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly there's not much you can do about the problems LexKurochkin mentions unless you have access to the RAW file. There isn't any point trying to recover detail in the highlights when it's just not there. Cropping and rotation would at the very least improve this image considerably and make it much more useful for visitors to Commons. Cmao20 (talk) 22:29, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Strong oppose This image is technically poor and, more importantly, ethically wrong. Its crop is awkward, and its composition is lacking. You cannot feature an image of plastic bottles. This tool kills millions of animals each year; they are omnipresent, and I can't bear them. To say I'm disappointed is a huge understatement. Wikimedia Commons is a large project, and we cannot feature images that encourage global destruction. Wolverine XI 21:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose There is nothing ethically wrong with this image at all, I disagree with the above vote on that score. It should absolutely be possible to feature a picture of something that causes environmental destruction. Featuring something doesn't mean that we approve of it. It means that the photograph is good enough to provoke emotions in us, which might be curiosity, or wonder, or - just as easily - horror. A picture illustrating how much damage mankind is causing to the environment is absolutely worthy of FP if otherwise good quality and well composed. It might inspire people to become more interested in environmental protection.
That said, I do agree with the above vote that the composition/crop of this image is not outstanding and that this precludes it from FP to me. Cmao20 (talk) 22:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In 2011, my dog choked on plastic and died. As a child, I was devastated. That is the fundamental reason I believe plastic bottles are unethical; I have seen plastics on beaches, in suburban areas in all of the nations I have visited, and even in the most remote locations. So, if I follow your logic, a picture of, say, individuals robbing from a bank will discourage theft? No, it won't. Humans speak and speak and speak, but they do not act. I have done my part, and I would like to encourage you to do yours. @Cmao20: you might want to reconsider your statement. Wolverine XI 11:04, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Basile, mosquitos are not an issue; they do not harm the environment. It's also difficult to update what has been ingrained in your brain for so long. Ikan, wait, you can still recall events from the 1970s. Wow, I am impressed. I've never lived during the decade, but I imagine it was fantastic. Anyways, thanks for your condolences. I'd also add that we all handle stressful situations in different ways, and this is just how I handle things, I suppose. Wolverine XI 19:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was born in 1965. The 70s had some excellent music, but it was a horrible decade for New York City, which almost went bankrupt during the Fiscal Crisis and was dangerous, scary, violent and dirty, though affordable. I'll add that I also couldn't vote on an FPC nomination for a very good photo of a heroic equestrian statue of Khmelnitsky that truly glorifies that Jew-murderer, but I abstained while stating why I was too biased to vote yea or nay and didn't oppose for that reason. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Yes, important picture, and the idea that it's immoral to photograph subjects that show the ills of society is abhorrent to me, because it suggests to me that the moral thing is to ignore them, and ignoring them is the best way to ensure that they continue, unchallenged. Consider nominating in an appropriate scope in COM:VIC if there isn't already a VI in that scope and this is best in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, the picture is about PET bottles recycling. So, it is ethical and respectful attempt to avoid ill and ugly wasting natural resources and minimizing ecology damage. But I agree with you about the principle. We should show ugly, ill, unpleasant things if we want to solve the problems. LexKurochkin (talk) 20:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Honestly, screw plastic bottles and single-use plastics that have destroyed our oceans, but this image is a perfect showcase of why they suck and why their production deserves to die in vein (and having done several beach cleanups, I can attest that the problem is only getting worse). But, I'm not a fond of the crop so I will too  oppose, but agree with Ikan Kekek that this would be more appropriate for COM:VIC. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:32, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Magnification in photomicrography is actually a very complex concept. People may not understand it. When I say that the magnification is 10x, you have to understand what 10x is about. This is related to the size of the camera sensor and requires special calculations to measure it. But in the end, this information does not give anything to the viewer, because it is not understood. It's easier to tell how big the water flea itself is, but I usually don't measure them. Janeklass (talk) 17:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks for the answer, but I'm not sure that the presence of a Wikipedia article should influence the choice, in the case of choosing other digital images the presence of a Wikipedia article in 9 cases out of 10 plays no role at all. Why does it matter in this case? JukoFF (talk) 01:11, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I mean it's not essential. For the artist to have a WP article is probably enough for me. I think our job re. artworks on Commons FP is to build a library of high-quality digitisations of artwork that might plausibly be considered great or valuable.

  • Can you not answer the question? I'm not saying the result is bad, I'm asking whether Wikipedia/Commons should be fiddling around with other's images. Why not find an accurate reproduction in the first place? Unless Yann is looking at the original, his edits are just guess-work. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:44, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not saying the artwork doesn't have artistic value but the nominator made it clear that this image was uploaded to Commons as part of a paid project. Octoviison media is not the photographer, just a production company employed by Leeds to promote the city. We have no information on copyright though I guess the photographer assigned his rights to the production company. Don't we need to know who took the photo? Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello @Charlesjsharp - Octovision Media is a drone photographer based in Hull, who assigned their images to Leeds 2023 (Leeds Culture Trust) and gave permission for this image and a couple of others to be released under an open license. They are not a "production company employed by Leeds to promote the city". Secondly, again, I looked carefully at the guidelines here and I could not see where it precludes nominations from paid projects, indeed there are examples from other paid projects like this that have already been Featured on Commons. This one was voted for with support by a number of people, including yourself. Lajmmoore (talk) 18:57, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not so. Octovision Media is a corporate entity, not a photographer. It employs photographers/drone operators. And we can assume they were paid to take the promotional photo. The image I supported is sharing culture. Not the same as pushing the merits of Leeds as a city. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:44, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose No promotion please Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you @Charlesjsharp it's good to have open disucssion. 1) This is is a cultural project, part of a Wikimedian-in-Residence project to share Leeds' cultural heritage - like hundreds of other GLAM partnerships. 2) I don't think it matters that they were originally paid for the image, what matters for Commons is that it is now available in the public domain, which it is - this isn't precluded anywhere. If it was all the hundreds of historic photos taken in professional studios (that are now in the public domain) would be disallowed because at the time a photographer was paid for them by the sitters. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:26, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Let’s look at this in a more relaxed way. Do we have a sharp distinction between selfless contributions and promotion? I don’t think so. There is plenty of promotional material on Commons user pages as well as on file pages. Just look at all the links to personal websites, assorted photography projects, wildlife parks and reserves, etc. Some users even have their websites included in the ‘Author’ or ‘Source’ parameters on Commons, even if they upload their files directly … This is all common(s) practice. Now what is worse with this photo? It does not cry “Buy x!” or “Come to y!” or “Vote for z!”. It does not even say “NN is a great photographer!”. It just documents an interesting work of art and can be used for many things. So why shouldn’t we welcome this photo? – Aristeas (talk) 12:10, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • You're accusing me of revenge votes? stop the bullshit! I've 11 oppose votes in FPC noms right now, two are in FPC you nominated, my god. What can I do if they are not convincing? And I'm not alone there. This is of no relevance here. If you want me to elaborate my votes, I can do it, if you ask me there to do so. Poco a poco (talk) 23:17, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The fact remains. After my negative vote. Your two negative votes on my nominations, in the span of 2 minutes :) We should be above personal grudges, that's not why we are here, think about it!!! JukoFF (talk) 23:56, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Utterly ridiculous accusation. Poco cast four other oppose votes on other nominations within the same 15-minute span as the two negative votes on your nominations. (One of them is my nomination.) Is he apparently feuding with all these people too as well as you? No evidence of 'personal grudges' here at all, timestamps clearly indicate someone just going through the list of current nominations and reviewing them objectively (he cast two support votes too). I think an apology is owed for the false accusation and the passive-aggressive tone. Cmao20 (talk) 01:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, Cmao20 that you are not mad at me for opposing any of your noms and for your accurate response here. For the record, the statement "The fact remains. After my negative vote. Your two negative votes on my nominations, in the span of 2 minutes :) " is misleading. I opposed those 2 nominations 4 days and a half after JukoFF opposed here. So, nobody can speak here about an overreaction after getting pissed off or something like that --Poco a poco (talk) 12:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
