Ehdottaminen[edit]

Ohjeita ehdottajille[edit]

Lue läpi Commons:Image guidelines ennen kuvan ehdottamista.

Alla on yhteenveto siitä, mitä tulee tarkastella arvioidessa kuvan sopivuutta suositelluksi kuvaksi:

  • Resoluutio – Yleensä kuvat, joiden resoluutio on alle kaksi megapikseliä, on hylätty. Alle kahden megapikselin kuva voidaan hyväksyä vain poikkeustapauksessa. Huomaa, että kuvassa, jonka resoluutio on 1 600 × 1 200, on noin 1,92 megapikseliä, joten se on kelvoton.
Commonsissa sijaitsevia kuvia voidaan käyttää muuhunkin kuin tietokoneen näytöllä katselemiseen. Niitä voidaan tulostaa tai katsella suurella resoluutiolla olevilla monitoreilla. Emme voi ennustaa, millaisia laitteistot tulevat olemaan tulevaisuudessa, joten kuvan tulee olla niin suurella resoluutiolla kuin mahdollista.
  • Fokus – kuvan tärkeimpien kohteiden tulisi olla teräviä.
  • Edusta ja tausta – edustalla ja taustalla olevat asiat voivat olla häiritseviä. Tarkista, että edustalla olevat kohteet eivät peitä mitään kuvan kannalta tärkeää ja taustalla olevat kohteet eivät pilaa asetelmaa, esimerkiksi katuvalo ei näytä tulevan jonkun päästä.
  • Tekninen korkealaatuisuus – suositellun kuvan tulee olla teknisesti korkealaatuinen.
  • Digitaaliset manipulaatiot eivät saa vetää nenästä kuvan katsojaa. Kuvassa olevien kauneusvirheiden korjaaminen on sallittua, jos korjaus on tehty hyvin ja sen tarkoituksena ei ole vääristää kuvaa. Hyväksyttäjä manipulaatioita ovat rajaus, perspektiivin oikaisu, terävöittäminen, sumentaminen ja valotuksen sekä värien korjailu. Monimutkaisemmat manipulaatiot ovat sallittuja vain, jos mallinetta {{Retouched picture}} käytetään kuvaussivulla. Kuvauksettomat tai väärin kuvatut monimutkaiset manipulaatiot ovat kiellettyjä.
  • Arvo – päätavoitteenamme on erottaa arvokkaimmat kuvat muista. Suositellun kuvan tulee olla jotenkin erikoinen.
    • Auringonlaskuista otetut valokuvat ovat kaikki vähän samanlaisia (Valokuvia)(Suomessa otettuja valokuvia)
    • Yökuvat saattavat olla hienompia, mutta päiväkuvista ilmenee yleensä enemmän tietoa
    • Kaunis ei ole sama asia kuin arvokas

Teknisiä yksityiskohtia käsitellään kohdissa valotus, asetelma, liikkeenhallinta ja terävyysalue.

  • Valotus – valotuksella tarkoitetaan valokuvauksessa kameran filmiin tallentuvaa tai digitaalikamerassa valoherkän kennon tallentamaa valon määrää. Valotuksen tulisi olla sopiva. Laajat ylivalottuneet alueet ovat usein häiritseviä.
  • Asetelma – asetelmalla tarkoitetaan kuvan esineiden sijoittumista toisiinsa nähden. ”Kolmoissääntö” (esimerkkikuva) on hyvä nyrkkisääntö siitä, millainen on hyvä asetelma. Kolmoissäännön ideana on, että kuva jaetaan kahdella pystyviivalla ja kahdella vaakaviivalla yhdeksään osaan (3×3). Pääaiheen sijoittaminen tiukasti kuvan keskelle on yleensä huonompi vaihtoehto mielenkiintoisuuden kannalta kuin pääaiheen sijoittaminen johonkin neljästä viivojen muodostamasta risteyksestä. Horisonttia ei tulisi sijoittaa kuvan keskelle, vaan jommankumman viivan keskelle. Kolmoissäännön avulla saadaan luotua dynaaminen kuva.
  • Liikkeenhallinta – liikkeenhallinnalla tarkoitetaan sitä, miten liike näkyy kuvassa. Liike voi olla terävää tai epätarkkaa. Jompikumpi aina ei ole paras vaihtoehto, vaan tärkeintä on aikomus havainnollistaa jotain. Liike on suhteellista kuvan kohteisiin verrattuna. Esimerkiksi valokuva ralliautosta, joka näyttäisi olevan paikallaan taustaa vasten, on huonompi vaihtoehto kuin valokuva ralliautosta, joka näkyy terävästi, mutta jonka tausta on sumuista, koska tällöin liikkeen huomaa helposti. Tätä kutsutaan ”panoroinniksi”. Toisaalta valokuva hyppäävästä koripallon pelaajasta, joka näyttää olevan paikallaan taustaa vasten, on hyvä sen epäluonnollisuuden takia.
  • Terävyysalue – terävyysalueella tarkoitetaan kuvan kohteen terävyyttä ympäristöön verrattuna. Terävyysalue valitaan jokaisen kuvan kohdalla erikseen. Suuri tai pieni terävyysalue voi huonontaa tai parantaa kuvan laatua. Pientä terävyysaluetta voidaan käyttää erottamaan pääkohde muusta ympäristöstä. Näin katsojan huomio kiinnittyy haluttuun kohteeseen. Suurta terävyysaluetta voidaan taas käyttää tilan havainnollistamiseen. Lähtökohtaisesti syväterävyysalue muodostuu sitä lyhyemmäksi, mitä suurempaa aukkoarvoa valokuvaaja käyttää. Vastaavasti pientä aukkoarvoa käytettäessä syväterävyysalue voi ulottua kuvan etualalta äärettömään. Aukon arvon lisäksi syväterävyysalueeseen vaikuttaa kuitenkin myös objektiivin todellinen polttoväli ja toisaalta kohteen etäisyys kuvaajasta.

Alla käsitellään vielä grafiikkaa.

  • Terävyys – pääkohteiden ääriviivojen on oltava teräviä.
  • Kolmiulotteisuus – kolmiulotteisuuden on oltava laadukasta. Parhaiten tämä onnistuu siten, että valo tulee kohteen sivulta. Yleensä kuvaajasta päin tuleva valo ei onnistu luomaan kunnollista kolmiulotteista vaikutelmaa, vaan se johtaa litteään vaikutelmaan. Paras valo ulkona on aamulla tai illalla.
  • Värit – värit eivät saa olla liian kylläisiä.
  • Tekstuuri – kohteen pinnan on oltava kolmiulotteisen näköinen ja laadukas.
  • Perspektiivi – kuvan tulee olla kolmiulotteinen.
  • Tasapaino – kuvan kohteiden tulisi olla tasapainossa keskenään. Suurta määrää kohteita ei tulisi jommallakummalla puolella.
  • Mittasuhde – mittasuhteella tarkoitetaan kuvan kohteiden kokoa toisiinsa verrattuna. Yleensä meillä taipumus esittää pienet kohteet pieninä, mutta toisaalta pienen kohteen esittäminen suurena luonnossa suurta kohdetta vasten on myös hyvä tekniikka, esimerkiksi kukan esittäminen vuorta vasten.
  • Symbolinen tarkoitus – huono kuva vaikeasta aiheesta on parempi kuin hyvä kuva helposta aiheesta.
Valokuvaaja ja/tai sen katselija voivat tarkastella kuvan kohdetta puolueellisesti. Kuvan arvoa ei tulisi arvioida arvioijan kulttuurillisen taustan perusteella, vaan se tulisi arvioida kuvan kulttuurillisen taustan perusteella. Hyvä kuva ”puhuu” katsojalle herättäen sellaisia tunteita kuin ilo, sympatia, herkkyys, suru, inho, viha ja raivo. Hyvän kuvan herättämät tunteet eivät ole vain positiivisia.

Käytäntö[edit]

Yleiset säännöt[edit]

  1. Äänestys on auki tasan yhdeksän vuorokautta ehdotuksen tekemisen jälkeen.
  2. Käyttäjätunnuksettomat käyttäjät saavat ehdottaa ja keskustella, mutta eivät äänestää.
  3. Ehdotus ei ole ääni. Ääni on annettava erikseen.
  4. Ehdottaja voi vetää ehdotuksen pois lisäämällä {{withdraw|~~~~}} äänestyssivulle.
  5. Wikimedia Commons ei ole vain Wikipedian kuvavarasto, joten kuvia ei tule arvioida vain Wikipediaan soveltuvuuden perusteella.
  6. Jos kuva ei saa muita kannattavia ääniä kuin ehdottajan viiden vuorokauden kuluessa ehdotuksen tekemisestä, poistoäänestys tulee lopettaa.
  7. Mallineella {{FPX}} merkitty poistoäänestys tulee lopettaa 24 tunnin kuluttua mallineen lisäämisestä, jos muita kannatusääniä kuin ehdottajan ei ole.

Statuksen muutos[edit]

Kuvasta tulee suositeltu kuva, jos se täyttää seuraavat vaatimukset:

  1. Kuvaussivulla on hyväksytty ja totuudenmukainen tekijänoikeusmalline
  2. Vähintään viisi kannatusääntä
  3. Vähintään kaksi kolmasosaa äänistä kannattavia
  4. Saman kuvan eri versiosta vain yksi saa olla suositeltu kuva. Siitä kuvasta, joka on kerännyt eniten kannattavia ääniä, tulee suositeltu kuva.

Statuksen poistoehdotuksen kohdalla sovelletaan samoja sääntöjä. Jos statuksen poistoa kannattavia ääniä ei ole tullut ehdottajan äänen lisäksi viiden vuorokauden kuluessa ehdotuksen teosta, äänestys tulee sulkea.

Ohjeita äänestyksen lopettamisesta on sivulla Commons:Featured picture candidates/What to do after voting is finished.

Arvostele hyvien tapojen mukaisesti[edit]

Muista, että kuva jota kommentoit on jonkun tekemä. Älä käytä sellaista tyyliä kommenteissasi kuin ”Vihaan kuvaa”, ”Kuva on ihan ruma” tai ”Kamala kuva”.

  •  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.

  • 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).

  •  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.

  •  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]

  • 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]
