While necessarily imperfect - bits of the plane get in the photo - it's by far the best photo of the bombing of Hamburg I can find, showing the devastation in a hugely compelling way
Comment As a general comment, this looks like a post-war photo. It was likely from one of the many sightseeing flights RAF bomber crews made over Germany after the war to see the results of their bombing and show the ground crew what they had contributed to (yes, it was ghoulish). As a result, this is a somewhat sanitised version of the results of the bombing, believe it or not, as the roads had been cleared of rubble, demolitions had begun, etc.

I checked the Film Superlist book, Volume 2 (1940-1949). Contrary to what I assumed, the book doesn't list motion pictures which have fallen into public domain. The book is a better organized compilation of the data in the
Online database on motion pictures released from 1940 to 1949, including any renewals 28 years after the original release, plus supplementary info (search reports) on some releases.
I searched the book and the Dover Boys cartoon is not listed in it. I also searched the
Online database for motion picture registrations in 1941, 1942, 1943, as well as motion picture renewals in 1969, 1970, 1971 and the Dover Boys cartoon is missing. So there is no record that this cartoon was ever registered for copyright, nor a record that it was ever renewed. (On a sidenote: the Film Superlist book does have copyright registration info for 93 Looney Tunes cartoons and 140 Merrie Melodies cartoons.)
I think the Commons copyright tag is valid (i.e. no renewal). Plus, the cartoon may not have been registered with the copyright office (there is no record of its registration). Pinging the nominator and participants who voted conditionally @

I think the fact that it's an original poster to a notable opera, still performed today (and I can absolutely guarantee this because I was in it) is enough. It's artistically quite nice, it gets the point of the piece quite well, and shows all the main characters of the second scene (due to cast doubling, there's no way to include all the characters, and I don't think I've ever actually seen promotional work for this opera dealing with the then-present-day scenes).

The

Firstly, there was a bug in the version of GIMP I was using at the time that made images substantially redder, and second, the LoC scan is a little odd colour-wise itself. I've dropped the saturation a little bit, resaved without the bug, and I think the strengths - A photo of an actress in the original production of a major, major Broadway show - now shine through

Forgive the two nominations in a row, but I do have a ten-image backlog even including these, so I am trying to be good here. I think this is a fine image, quite good for showing off the structure as it historically was. I think the dome on the tower is the most obvious change from present day. I've gone with original crop; Given the
Detroit Publishing Company's works tend to follow very strict ratios, I believe this is how it would have been published. More accurate than the illustrations that are our only other historic guide. Admittedly, could be lower down in the article, but the article's full of modern photos, so it's hard to say.

This is my first nomination of a featured picture. I was taken by this photograph which seems to have artistic and educational merit. Potential flaws are that the photographer's name is included at the bottom and at the highest resolution, there are some image artifacts. The framing and background are artistically attractive inviting the viewer to look more closely and see the detail of the words on the sculpture, which are quotes from the subject.
Articles in which this image appears
Brenda Fassie in English and in many other languages
There are a few quibbles I have: It's an artistic monochrome, and possibly a bit heavily post-processed, which I'd normally object to as misleading, but for a bronze sculpture, I think it works. The signature in the lower right is kind of distracting, but it's not from Wikipedia, so that may justify it a bit. I'm inclined to Support, but I imagine those will be the biggest issues with the nomination if there are any. (Well, that, and we honestly need more voters if we're going to keep a quorum of five).

A version of this image has been stable in her article for years; I tracked down a better copy. It's a nice image for historical photography. I know that Van Vechten's way of composing his photos can range from beloved to hated on here depending on photo, but this seems a simple, well-executed profile photo with a confident expression, and I think it's lovely. Good companion photo to the one of her husband.

Comment It's largely really good, but a lot of it seems to be a bit out of focus when you zoom in. Could you recheck your focus stack masks? Adam Cuerden(

Thanks for the review. I took only 7 images with manual focussing. Some of the white areas in the petals are slightly fuzzy in all 7 images. I have already done the best I could with retouching in ZereneStacker. --

Fair enough. I think Support, then, as there's a lot of good parts, but a bigger stack might do you well next time, annoying as it is. It's a little odd to see blurred bits between sharp bits. Adam Cuerden(

Support, although I'd rather see an image that actually showed the red tail. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like any of the ones we have that do show the tail are high enough quality at this time (
this is probably the best of the bunch). --

The red on a juvenile isn't very visible.

Comment Although this is a super-quality shot, a juvenile from this PoV does not have high EV.

I think that it is considered impossible to find a technically superior image for this subject, so lower quality may sometimes be allowed.

Oppose Very low quality. --

Support, I think, though it's one that's going to be very hard for us to judge. This kind of image - lower quality, but possibly an iconic image of a tragedy - is really hard to judge if you don't speak the language. Adam Cuerden(

Oppose Technical quality is still criterion 1 at
WP:FP?. While this image may meet 4-7, it fails 1-3. Zhwiki might have different standards, but I don't think it meets ours. — Preceding

Comment, as per FP sub-criteria 1.4 this could bypass the first three sub-criteria's 1.1 to 1.3. This then raises the question whether the image meets 1.4. As per criteria 2 there is also an exception clause which could apply to this image. This could also pass the other requirements, even 3. However, coming back to uniqueness and the historical clause, I would say no. This is based on the reasoning that this is the second level of separation from the main incident. Further this second level of separation does not convey enough. This can also be compared with similar images that media houses have used, say with the number of flowers varying or the angle. While I have rejected the image as per FP's objective and subjective clauses, I am leaving this as a comment. These kind of journalistic images, off-hand, taken in the moment, are rare on Wikipedia. Placed alongside text and more context the images can wonderfully add to Wikipedia's voice.

Just above the locomotive, that stained-glass effect on the background is a heat distortion from smoke or something? It looks odd, so I'd like to figure out what it is before supporting. Adam Cuerden(

FPs 02:02, 21 July 2022 (UTC)reply
Yes, that is heat haze owing to the exhaust vent on the top of the loco. --
Tagooty (
talk) 03:27, 21 July 2022 (UTC)reply
Adam, that's the exhaust haze of the locomotive's engine. These locomotives run on a diesel engine. The power generated by the diesel engine is then converted to electricity. This electricity then runs electric motors which turn the locomotive's wheels. Therefore the name "
diesel-electric locomotive". There is a brief description here:
[9] and videos. In the nom photo, the front locomotive is a
SD70M-2, it has a 16 cylinder diesel engine:

So what? Here, we're still running engines that were built in the 1960s... such as
