Consensual review

[edit]

  • Nomination Church of St. Antony in de:St. Ulrich in Gröden --Moroder 09:12, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Promotion  Comment It's unsharp in full view, but with that resolution, a 70-75% downscale certainly would be no problem for the overall quality, I think. - A.Savin 09:23, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
    Thanks for reviewing the picture. I don't see pictures much sharper than this on QIC and I don't agree to downsample on Wikimedia because one can always download pictures of smaller size --Moroder 10:05, 28 May 2012 (UTC) I strongly agree with Moroder on downsample. But the problem here is a wrong choice of aperture, why f/5? (you need a smaller aperture to get the whole church in focus. --ArildV 12:41, 29 May 2012 (UTC) Info At a distance of 15 m. a 31 mm/2.8 lens at f/5 is perfect for DOF (in traditional photography). I hope you don't tell me that the focus is not good for QI(we are not in FP). The image might have a minimal blur due to HDR without a tripod --Moroder 14:42, 29 May 2012 (UTC) D800 is an excellent camera. But Im sorry, this photo is not excellent. There are few details and blurred and part not in focus. Probably a combination of camera settings and post-processing.--ArildV 15:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
    I believe that the picture should be considered as it is and not as it should be according to the quality of the camera and I believe that as long as you can count every shingle of the roof the picture is well in focus and that there is nothing lacking for it to be QI--Moroder 08:08, 30 May 2012 (UTC) I disagree. The roof may be good enough, but not the rest of the building.--ArildV 08:40, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
  •  Support To me, it is a QI as it is. I don't understand the debate about the downsampling, I have personaly a non consensual opinion, but it is not the place for such an endless discussion...--Jebulon 10:04, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
  •  Support Agree, QI as is, though a little extra sharpening wouldn't have hurt the image. Biopics 12:59, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination 57303 at Parson Street. Mattbuck 12:30, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Comment I think the technical quality is good. Concerning the file page I think a suitable variant of the {{Consent}} template could be of relevance here. --Slaunger 19:41, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
    • They're in public, there is no expectation of privacy. Already tagged with {{Personality rights}} anyway. Mattbuck 21:00, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
      • Yes, I know they are in public, and that photographs are allowed in public, but this is not always so, when it comes to publishing the photo and allowing commercial reuse, see Commons:Photographs of identifiable people. Unfortunately UK is not in the list where specifics are given, so you may be right it is not an problem here, but do you know for sure that you do not need consent (which is different from {{Personality rights}}), see also QIC talk. --Slaunger 05:03, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
      • For UK, see thr fourth column in this pdf, where it is adviced to get consent, even for people in public, especially when a photograph is published. --Slaunger 05:17, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
        • This has never ever been an issue with any other photo I've brought here. If you're so unhappy about the presence of people in the photo, start a damn deletion. Any consent issue is a non-copyright restriction so we frankly don't give a damn. You're in public, you're probably being photographed all the time. People do NOT need to consent to have their photo taken, or even published. It may be SUGGESTED, but it is NOT mandatory. Mattbuck 14:04, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
          • There is absolutely no reason to SHOUT or swear at me. Just because something has never ever been an issue does not mean it s not an issue. It is only very recently it was brought to my attention via the discussion about the consent template on the QIC talk page (have you read that?) and the implementation of the board resolution that it could be an issue. It would be more helpful if you gave a refernce to why consent is not an issue, or added UK to the list as a green entry with proper references. If you read Commons:Country specific consent requirements, UK is not listed, but the list is stated to be incomplete, so what applies for UK? It is not as much a matter of legal matters but more an isue of decency and by showing a good example at QIC by asking for consent. So I am just merely asking for clarification on this point. For me, it appears borderline regarding consent, but I am not sure. If the identifiable persons formed a larger group it would definately not be an issue. Here the group only consist of three people. They are (apparently) not doing anything "embarrasing" in public, which is in favor of not expecting consent. Lets discuss. --Slaunger 19:42, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination The Old Market Square (Stary Rynek) in Poznań is surrounded by town houses with colourful façades. Scotch Mist 19:42, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  OpposeVery colorful and nice subject, but the statue in the front is overexposed, the colors appear oversaturated (especially the teal roof on the buildings, and the sky is noisy. --Slaunger 23:49, 26 May 2012 (UTC))
    • The statue seemingly emerging from the building behind adds further interest to this photo of colourful buildings shot in the natural light of the day (this is the actual colour of the tiles) - perhaps what appears to be noise in the sky is the thin wire running along the roof-top? --Scotch Mist 05:27, 28 May 2012 (UTC) 05:26 28 May 2012 (UTC)
      • No, it is not wires. Sky is not the main problem, but overexposure from harsh midtime day-light. Many aeras are blown. Sculpture would be OK if properly exposed. If possible try morning or evening light instead for softer light (may not be possible due to shadows from nearby buildings, I do not know). Difficult to get QI given the 2007 compact camera camera btw (not really your fault). --Slaunger 14:20, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

  • Decline
  •  SupportGood quality. --NorbertNagel 06:33, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
  •  Oppose sorry, but the sharpness is not better than the first attempt, this image is in addition too dark --Taxiarchos228 11:47, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
    • Concerning darkness. I did decrease the brightness somewhat to avoid blown areas in the raw file prior to converting to jpg with the sun shining on the glossy white paint. I did lift the shadow regions at raw level as well. I agree it looks a bit dark in thumbnail, but in full, I think it looks good, and the reflection of the waves in the hull are seen with this exposure setting. That is not seen in a brighter version. I like that there is quite big brightness dynamics in the photo (without substantial noise in shadow areas). Personally, I find the sharpness and DOF improved and acceptable for QI. --Slaunger 12:50, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
      • it's a quite funny argumentation to find a visible shadow on the letterbox picture distracting although all parts are visible clearly and to defend it on this picture. I think the shadow is distracting here because only the bow of the boat has a nice light. If you send me the RAW file am sure I would develop a version with a much better brightness dynamic. The sharpness and DOF is for a static object like this unacceptable for a QI and I am afraid this is also not correctable with the RAW. --Wladyslaw (talk) 16:13, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
        • Yes, almost as funny as seeing you pick on dynamic range issues here and defend your own nom with similar problems. Perhaps we should just agree to disagree on what exactly is good light and bad light. I respect that other people have a different opinion than my own. That said, I think you are right that the exposure here is probably improvable, and you have already given me some further helpful advice about how I could do that in an email. Thank you. The raw is unfortunately too big (26 MB) to send via email for me. The wheather forecast here in Denmark is still promising for the next few days, and I am determined to finally take a shot and develop a raw of this subject which has very good quality (or as good as my glass and sensor can make it). --Slaunger 19:34, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

      • The picture is clearly posed to have the sculpture and the building, therefore the building being overexposed is an issue. Mattbuck 12:59, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • The Renaissance Sukiennice is the focus for many visitors to Krakow but the composition and crop clearly bring art (in this case a modern sculpture) in the Main Square to the fore (with obvious details of the Sukiennice faded into the background) hopefully provoking the question of the balance we would like to see of history and art (with an eye to the future from the past). Admittedly the description would benefit from some more information relevant to the sculpture, but am in the process of gradually working through my photos to remedy this. --SM1 (talk) 13:18, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • It explains the idea. Good (nothing wrong). But the result? Both the sculpture and the upper part of the building are cropped. To me it doesn't work here (despite the good intentions). Regards--ArildV (talk) 17:46, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • Accept that whether overall this works or not is a matter of individual opinion, which to me is a more important consideration than whether background features are overexposed or cropped, deliberately or otherwise. The cropping of the sculpture is deliberately provocative and appreciate that this will not work for many - thank you for your feedback.--Scotch Mist 06:48, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

        • patience seems not to be your strong side, I have also to other things to do during a day then checking out QIC. the extremle minor dust spot is removed.

File:Mickiewicz Monument.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination: Monument to Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań, close by the 1956 Monument. Scotch Mist 17:14, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Review
  •  Oppose - Overexposed. --Mattbuck 16:07, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
    • What relevant detail in this photo is overexposed? --Scotch Mist 11:12, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
      • You seem to misunderstand QI. We aren't especially interested in whether a photo has "relevant detail", we care about technical quality only. Your photo is overexposed - the clouds are pure white, the sky is cyan. A large part of your image is therefore overexposed. That detracts from whatever you feel may be "relevant details" because it draws the eye away. Mattbuck 12:52, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
        • With all due respect the QI guidelines are not all about technical perfection but about achieving an appropriate balance ... "...a featured picture is permitted to fall short on technical quality" for a number of reasons, and as photography itself varies in its use from technical precision to artistic perspective it would be a pity if artistic photos were sacrificed in Wikimedia in pursuit of the former (by the way I'm not suggesting that this particular photo is a work of art!). Having said all that have uploaded another version of the image where the sky is bluer and the clouds have a little more detail! --Scotch Mist 14:22, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
          • Let me quote: Featured pictures candidates should meet all the following requirements, must have a “wow factor” and may or may not have been created by a Commoner. Given sufficient “wow factor” and mitigating circumstances, a featured picture is permitted to fall short on technical quality. It says that about featured pictures, not quality images. QI is purely about quality: value and wow are not factors in our judgment. Your image is not quality, therefore it fails QI. Mattbuck 16:18, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
            • Again with all due respect, "Featured pictures are images that the community has chosen to be highlighted as some of the finest on Commons." and by inference would generally be considered as 'Quality Images', but even if they were not, there is a clear inference overall in reading the relevant guidelines that a balance should be sought for both quality and featured images ... "For example, a technically compromised shot of an important event will often receive some support because of the importance of the event depicted and an equal quantity of opposition because of the technical quality." Perhaps some others might wish to express their views here, but in the meantime are you happy with the updated image? --Scotch Mist 17:09, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
              • Again, those are featured picture issues, not quality images ones. As for the updated image, it's better, but the cloud's overexposure is unfixable and that bit on its own, IMO, means it's not QI. Mattbuck 22:52, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
                • It still seems to me that you are reading the guidelines from a rather narrow technical perspective that would prevent many artistic photographs (such as those that might include deliberate overexposure in areas of a photograph to highlight detail elsewhere or create a more dramatic and interesting effect) being presented here but promote essentially simple photographs with good technical details though little artistic merit (and perhaps overly dark through underexposure in some areas of photographs). Do not think this is the intention of Wikimedia with QI and if you fully re-read the guidelines hopefully you will get a sense of that. In the meantime I have uploaded another version (less compressed) of this image with the focus of the photograph still correctly on two significant Polish monuments irrespective of the natural elements in the sky that day. [If I was taking a macro shot of an insect I would not be overly concerned that the background foliage was out of focus or underexposed and find it difficult to understand that at least to some extent the same rationale does not apparently apply for some when evaluating photographs of monuments, sculptures and other objects, where overexposure in the background is a concern.] ✓ Done--Scotch Mist 08:29, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
                  • Would the picture be worse with a well-exposed sky? If not, then the reasoning about artistic quality is totally irrelevant. Overexposure would normally be considered something bad and if we are to accept a overexposed image there must be a purpose (and you have to answer the question "why did you choice to have a overexposed sky? and "How does it improve the picture?"). IMO: this is not an artistic photo, it's an overexposed photo with a mediocre quality. --ArildV (talk) 13:22, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
                    • While I would not have posed the question the same way, you raise some interesting points and I thank you for your comments. I certainly accept that this is not an artistic photo, but the point I was making is that many of the 'declines' for QI state 'overexposure' as the reason even when this relates to background elements and the overexposure is not extreme, yet photos are regularly 'promoted' with significant areas of underexposure and lack of focus (and without requesting justification even when it is not a detailed macro shot of an insect). In other words there seems to be a lack of consistency here in applying QI standards as written and while fully understanding that there has to be a level of subjectivity, personally I would prefer to see more consistency or at least a little lighter application of the 'overexposure' comment and a few less 'dark' photos. Would the picture have been better with what you might have considered to have been a more interesting sky - I don't think so - especially as such background detail might have distracted from the stark symbolic silhouettes of the 1956 Cross and the Head and poignant Face of Adam Mickiewicz? In fact even the detail on the Poznan Palace I find a little distracting and I was tempted to crop this, but decided against this for the sake of overall balance of the composition of the photo. Agree this is not an exceptional photo but personally think it has merit for consideration as a QI. --Scotch Mist 14:32, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Support Seems acceptable as QI, in my opinion. But all the arguments developed by Mattbuck about the definition of Quality Images in the guidelines is right.--Jebulon 14:46, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Looks like it's not vertical - lamps and some other details seem to be \ (leaning left). Try to look more carefully into perspective control? But besides that it seems to be ok. (no idea why Mattbuck expects HDR) SkywalkerPL (talk) 19:41, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
    • Understand your comment but think this impression mainly comes from the fact that the 1956 Monument has distinctly sloping sides (actually two vertical sections joined by one horizontal section) with one side masked by a tree - the tapered flag poles may add to this impression but perhaps these are not all truly vertical (refer building in background). --Scotch Mist 12:36, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
      • I made an illustration :) http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/805/29636706.jpg/ - black square is pixel-perfect vertical. Red line is more-or-less an offset of few chosen elements - all of them are bit off towards left. SkywalkerPL 18:13, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
        • Thank you for going to the trouble of creating this example image and for providing this feedback. It would appear that the flag poles and building are offset by less than a degree so I would think on this basis, and your earlier comments, that in fact you support this photo for QI? --Scotch Mist 21:03, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
          • I should point out that your derivative work is a copyright violation, as it does not attribute Scotch Mist. And I don't expect HDR, but if large areas are overexposed that's a problem, the solution to which is to take a darker photo, so you get the highlight detail, and do some photoshopping to increase brightness of the lower levels - you lose a bit of highlight contrast, but that's the only real issue. Mattbuck 01:53, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
            • First I should point out that this is not a derivative work and there is no copyright issue here as both the 'Source' and 'Author' is 'Scotch Mist'. Second, while I agree with you that the sky\clouds in the original image presented were 'overexposed' I believe that this is not the case with the current image. Third, if the sky happens to be pale blue on the day and contains puffy white clouds tinged with grey (just as I am looking at now), then if I attempt to edit the image to bring out detail in the sky that is not there I will probably simply create a darker image overall and possibly lose some detail on the focal point of the image which is the face of Adam Mickiewicz. Appreciate though that photography, like art, can be quite subjective, and we undoubtedly have different views as to what we like and dislike, but perhaps if you look closely you will see the poetry for which he was famous in Adam's deeply reflective expression (while standing in the 'shadow' of the 1956 Monument). If you can, perhaps you might view the merit of QI for this photo a little differently? --Scotch Mist 06:09, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

  • That is wrong. First, if the light is not natural the WB will not be correct, you need a gray card for these cases. Regarding the ISO, you can also increase the exposure time and keep a lower ISO, but that will not be possible as long as you use the camera in automatic mode. Poco a poco 22:47, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

  •  Oppose The white balance is yellowish (the AWB of the Canon's body may fail indoor). Regarding the ISO, as the hand is overexposed, may be reducing a bit the shutter speed and shooting at ISO 1600 would have been ok.

  •  Oppose Insufficient quality. Just below the driver in the cab is a chromatic aberration which appears to be caused by the light in the lower left hand corner of the train, probably caused by a lens filter reflecting the light. --Mifter Public 14:54, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

But since it is not on a vital part of the image it can be corrected without going to too much trouble. I do not know whether this would change anyone's mind about the discussion. -- Aisano 18:15, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
    It's probably due to the UV filter on the lens. I'll try and fix it once Photoshop finishes creating an 80 photo panorama. Could be a while. Mattbuck 22:03, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

    • I agree, please don't re-sharpen the picture, too strong sharpening is always visible, and does not make a picture better, in any way. I've annotated the stripes in the sky (as example) along the roof of the bell tower.

    • QI requires proper categorization and an ID to species level when possible. ComputerHotline categorically refuses to do this even when given this information. Promotion of this incomplete nominations will reinforce that behaviour. Especially for common organisms it is a must that they are correctly identified. Nobody knows all the species, that is very true, but everybody here knows how to look something up on the internet or contact a specialist when the search does not deliver. Biopics 10:54, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
    • Per the QIC rules 3.Quality images must .... have a meaningful ... description. This should include the Taxa naming for organisms. Nominators do not have to be biologists. When in doubt I either ask other users here, which I know are knowledgable about the subject, or I ask over at en:Wikipedia:Reference desk/Science prior to nomination. It works very well and it is part of the homework. --Slaunger 10:18, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Support good quality image. Biopics: instead of making a speech about your perception specify the category if you can, if not: don't get on our nerves. --Taxiarchos228 21:00, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
    • It is not Biopics or other reviewers responsibility to do their homework prior to nomination. QI is not just about high quality pictures. They shall also have informational and/or educational content to be realistically useful in Wikimedia projects and elsewhere. It has not when we do not know what we see. --Slaunger 10:05, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
      • There is nowhere written how deep a description has to be done. For me the present description is enough, for a biologist for sure not. Biopics profession has to do with arthropods. If he is able to specify it better he can do it. But just complaining about s.th. without helping is not my understanding of this project. And once again: there is not written how deep a description has to be and it's not reasonable to claim someone to make a thesis out of this. --Taxiarchos228 12:27, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
        • It is common sense that a taxon level corresponding to some big hoverfly on some flower resembling carrot/parshly is inadequate. And at least it is clear that people should be entitled to express the opinion that it is not good enough without being claimed to "get on our nerves". Thereafter reporting to COM:ANU - shakes head. --Slaunger 12:35, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Support Image quality is very good. In the meantime a valid description and categories have been added. --High Contrast 11:43, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I disagree. The identification is not sufficiently good. Volucella sp. on Apiaceae sp. is more or less equivalent to "Some huge hoverfly on some flower resembling carrot or parsley". I am not an expert, but it is evident from looking at the Wikiepdia pages for the genus, that different species of Volucella look very distinct. The same applies for Apiaceae. --Slaunger 10:05, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
    •  Neutral Striking my oppose. Hoverfly seems to be adequately identified now. Ideally, the Apiaceae (which is just a very general family of plants) could have been better identified, but this is not as important af the hoverfly. The categories were a mess as Biopics points out below. I believe I have now fixed the overcategorization and missing categorization. Concerning the image quality i think it is so, so, not good enough for me to support, not bad enough for me to oppose either. --Slaunger 07:55, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per Slaunger. --Avenue 11:09, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
    •  Support ID now good enough, considering the hoverfly is the main subject. Image quality also just good enough IMO. --Avenue 11:30, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Per Biopics, Slaunger and Avenue. For unknown plants, we have a very good "workshop" here [[4]] in the french Wikipedia. I use it frequently, as I'm far to be a specialist. I find this very interesting, funny and useful, and there, the specialists answer very kindly and very quickly. I guess the same thing exists for insects or other animals. In my opinion, the "meaningful description" must be the deeper as possible, because (only one reason among others) some other users here are spending a lot of time to do a very great identification job for living species, and they need to be helped and supported. Moreover I think that what is identifiable must be identified for "Commons", and more for the QI label (like coats of arms, for instance, because every CoA has an unique identification and cannot be confused with another). The great wealth and richness of "Commons" are that there exists always somebody somewhere, to be asked for an useful advice or a precious information. Never forget that we are very lucky: it works !! Furthermore, QI label rules are clear: it is not only "visual". According to the guidelines, a visually good picture can be declined because of a bad file name, a wrong description in the file page, a bad categorization etc. For what I understand, it is the same for identification. --Jebulon 16:11, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

    • What use is a nice image which cannot be found by those who could potentially use it, because there is not accurate information to search for? That is why an accurate file description is important. Facebook, flickr and other image sites are excellent alternatives for those who only worry about that the photo looks good, but not what it depicts. Here, we have a COM:SCOPE.

    • There is no hurry with a QI stamp. Why not wait until others have filled in the missing information before you nominate. In wikipedia you do not get an article to featured article status under the premises that "oh, well, this and that is not OK, but it is a wiki, so over time it will become an FA, so let's promote now."
  •  Support now because of the following reasons:
  • We have a few QIs (including mine and Gidips; last week we promote a mushroom by JJH) which are identified up to the genus level. We can't be different stands in different cases.
  • It is difficult to identify True flies and bugs by just viewing a photo or the subject itself than subjects like butterflies because they are very small and the visible properties are common to the genus; not to the species. So we have to collect the specimen and send it to an expert for detailed microscopic examination to get the real ID. Or we can simply guess; no one can prove it wrong by looking on the photo. :)
  • I saw the complaint of Biopics that this user is neglecting the suggestion; but is this the space to handle that issue?

Anyway I prefer to find the ID to the lowermost level as much as possible but it must not be the species in all cases. I have photos of Owl-flies; not any expert even at tamu.edu can resolve the ID so far.

Any help on IDs are always appreciated. Regards, Jee. Jkadavoor 09:22, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

  • There are many cases where the genus level is OK, like for many mushrooms, as there really are no easily or only very subtle visual distinct features at the species level. The same applies for many types of other "critters". The point in this case is that there is a significant difference in how different species of the hover fly and the plant look like. this would be apparent for you if you looked at the articles for Volucella and Apiaceae. --Slaunger 13:30, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Oppose This image is of medium photographic quality. There are too many blurred areas and the contrast is too hard. The failure to identify the plant does not bother me, because this is not the subject of the image. We do not see the whole of the abdomen: the species can not be identified. This image has a right to exist in COMMONS and, perhaps, she will have a utility. But this work to propose a label is a fault. The public for whom we work, we do not judge the quality of our images, but the rigor of our work. If together we will raise the level of our realizations so our project will have a long life. --Archaeodontosaurus 16:30, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Disagree with respect. If we make species level identification as a must for FP/QI/VI, it will force people to make wild guess without proper reference that degrade the integrity of Commons, I afraid. Jkadavoor 09:19, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Support It is very difficult to make photos of insects with a complete DOF. To reach this we must photograph butterflies lateral (the we have a flat object), or we must kill, mount an stack. So a complete DOF is not necessary here. To determine the species is often not possible in the living species (some insect species can only be determined by investigating their genitalia!). Shall we kill every specimen after photographing and make a section to get the correct species? I think in this case the genus and DOF is sufficient. PS: I think it could be Volucella bombylans (compare [5], [6]) --Llez 17:49, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

  • There is clearly two groups of voters here: those that attempt to apply the rules and those that flaunt them. Maybe the flaunters will be consistent now and decline the image? Biopics 19:14, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
    • Could you please show me the RULE (Any organism should be identified to the species level to qualify as a QI/VI/FP) anywhere in the guidelines? And I didn't understand the current issue with the categories. Jkadavoor 06:50, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
      • Per above. I know it is a lot, but please read it again. Biopics 13:03, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Comment When I look another time to this picture and file page, without the current comments, I think, as a non specialist, that the description is now sufficient enough, due to the cooperative work here in "Commons", but nevertheless I don't remove my "oppose", because of the overall quality of the picture. I think it is not possible for me (again, as a non specialist) to support a picture of a flying insect with one of the two wings totally out of focus...--Jebulon 15:49, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
    •  Comment But as for the general discussion about the need of a prior correct identification of species (or anything in "Commons") at a "good/relevant/meaningful/correct/sufficient level", I continue to agree with Biopics and others, of course.--Jebulon 15:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
      • See; we took only a few seconds to add the description and categories because Biopics already given the hint. Then why all these mess?

Regards, Jee Jkadavoor 06:33, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
        • "All these mess" is due to the fact that some of us "do the job" here, trying to improve the general quality of "Commons" as a good quality media deposit (including the description), and some others absolutely don't care. Why ? Clin--Jebulon 07:44, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

I disagree. No need to explain why I did not vote "contra", abstained, and censored my opinion, but for me, the given example is indeed not a QI for the same reason as Janowski. But there is actually nothing "inappropriate" in any of the two pictures, only an opinion. The other one promoted picture of Blokhin was very good.--Jebulon 22:33, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Contemplative physiognomies are valuable pictures as well as (boring) friendly smiling faces. In press commentatorship such picture are often used to express e.g. a critical situation in which the person is involved. Your arguments are not comprehensible, indeed they are sadly not really established. --Taxiarchos228 09:03, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

 Weak oppose Guys, please, focus on arguments. Actually, I agree with both of you but my position would be a weak oppose. I will try to explain why. Pictures like that from Blochin or many others are fine when the thinking pose is natural or, let's say, conventional. I specially like those with the hand at the chin. In this case I don't feel that having a finger in the mouth is a favorable picture of Janowski. That is not an elegant thinking pose to me. Poco a poco 10:50, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Neutral Only carapace and wing bases in focus --V-wolf 10:48, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
  •  Comment I understand that the DOF is borderline here, but most of the abdomen and the left pair of wings are also sharp. Note also that the picture shows almost every morphological character important for determination of the species in this part of the range. — Yerpo Eh? 18:28, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
