Comment Not one of his best. Bird is looking away. Hasn't been put up for FP on Commons yet. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:55, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support - When it comes to birds, one of JJ's "not his best" can still readily be FP worthy. In this case, it appears that the focus was slightly off (beak and eye appears slightly out of focus), but given the resolution, focal distance, and size of the bird, I don't think it's a deal breaker. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:27, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Interesting discussion at the Commons about the drone restrictions. Hats off to the creator for respecting the restriction, even if it meant having to crop the original image because he couldn't get any closer. (I am unimpressed by the argument that there are "so many points in Germany where, in theory, drones are not allowed" that we should all just feel free to ignore such restrictions whenever it suits us to do so.)

Human karyotype

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 1 Feb 2023 at 17:10:00 (UTC)

**Original** – Karyogram of human genome

Reason: Quality image of human karyogram, it gives an overview of the human genome. The image is used in numerous articles (50+). There is a SVG version, but the SVG is not used in any articles (it has rendering issues). If and when the SVG replaces this file, then we can do a delist and replace nom. I had an easier time enlarging this file with ZoomViewer [2], which is linked to on the file page. Currently at Commons FPC as well.

Oppose – Visual information is not readily intelligible to general readers/viewers. – Sca (talk) 14:08, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can you clarify which featured picture criteria does this candidate image not meet? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:06, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What about No.3 "It illustrates the subject in a compelling way". I feel uncompelled. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:02, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I intentionally kept any prose out of the image in order to keep it relatively language neutral, and indeed that makes it not readily intelligible without reading the image caption in each article. Still, in this case, I think that sense of incomprehensibility is a valuable impression in itself, as the complexity of the human genome is indeed daunting and, still today, largely enigmatic. Mikael Häggström (talk) 22:10, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, the criterion is "helps readers to understand an article", not "readily intelligible to general readers/viewers". Bammesk (talk) 13:21, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Criterion. – Sca (talk) 14:00, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. We need more FPs that are encyclopedic scientific illustrations, relative to the huge proportion currently taken by postcard views, charismatic megafauna, and old poster scans. This is a good example: informative, detailed, and well laid out. Incidentally, the kneejerk opposition to including any such content, on display above, is a large part of why my recent participation in FPC has been so limited. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:16, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the image tells me nothing. My cognitive facilities are quiescent, and my knees aren't jerking -- Sca (talk) 13:38, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't oppose, but it is impolite to call a reasoned oppose a 'kneejerk reaction'. I'm capable of understanding many scientific diagrams, but I don't think this enhances the article enough for it to be FP. Without any text, I look at the image and click away. That is not what you want for a top-notch image in an encyclopaedia. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:33, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Text in illustrations is often helpful, but is not uniformly a positive thing: for instance, it makes them much more difficult to internationalize, compared to illustrations where the relevant text is presented in a caption. Have you ever opposed a photograph because it was lacking text? —David Eppstein (talk) 01:58, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I actually had someone comment (couldn't oppose as they were an IP) against a nomination because the scale was not labeled on the photograph itself. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:19, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, leaning support - That is massive, to the point that you could probably print this on a full sheet of A2 paper and still be downsizing. How much information would be lost by reducing it to, say, 60% of its current size? (Honestly, it's a shame the SVG has rendering issues...) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:19, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Chris, with this type of image, sometimes there is more to it than visual display, printing and such. Sometimes minute details are incorporated as a means of tabulating data (or information) precisely. That way the image can be enlarged on a computer screen and the data read off the image precisely. I am not an expert in genetics, but I see lots of grid marks, so that might be the case. Bammesk (talk) 02:06, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's fair. My question was mainly driven by the fact that, even at 60 percent resolution, the text was perfectly legible on my display and it felt as though no fine details were being lost (the reference to the A2/poster size was mainly to highlight just how many pixels were there). Given that, due to the resolution, a lot of browsers have trouble loading the image, I was simply wondering if a smaller size would be workable to improve accessibility. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:20, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Technically, there are a few "woulda, shoulda, couldas"; less lens distortion, less tight crop, etc. But that's moot now that the monument is gone, and so I would support this on technique and quality. It is well lit, very encyclopedic, and irreplacable. What is the copyright status of the work itself, though? The rusty part of my brain that dealt with copyright questions is telling me that FOP doesn't cover three-dimensional artwork in the United States. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:59, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I corrected the lens distortion with DxO PhotoLab on the RAW file, but there is perspective distortion. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 03:09, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - My apologies; I've only taken my camera out rarely, and am rusty on a lot of the terminology. I was referring primarily to the warping of the grass and dirt at the bottom edge of the image; the monument itself looks fine. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:33, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - No problem. For some reason, I was using my 35mm lens, which does enhance perspective distortion. Normally I would use a lens with a longer focal length and get farther back, which would reduce the perspective distortion. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 16:49, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      - For sure! I know I nearly retired my 18-35 mm because of the distortion. Any which way, glad to have this here. — Chris Woodrich (talk)

Referring to the Hirtle Chart, there doesn't really seem to be anything for works of sculpture (it explicitly states "This table is for image and text works"). Assuming that the table for "Works except sound recordings and architecture" also applies to sculpture, the creator of the Guidestones had five years to register a claim if no notice was included with the sculpture. I'll see if I can find anything for "Robert Christian", "Elberton Granite Finishing Company", or "Guidestones". — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:13, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support - After reviewing the LOC Copyright catalogue, I have found nothing for the finishing company, only conspiracy books for the Guidestones, and a series of books on Bayesian statistics by Christian Robert (nothing for Robert Christian). I am satisfied that there is no copyright registration for this sculpture, and based on available photographs there appears to have been no notice included with it. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:20, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
comment Might be able to crop something better out of File:The Georgia Guidstones.jpg.©Geni (talk) 16:49, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I've given it a go, but honestly the fact that much of the monument is in shadows makes me feel that it's an inferior alternative (as an aside... that image is pretty good for a cell phone). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:10, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah its a bit annoying that we have a bunch of photos that would be great if they weren't over processed.©Geni (talk) 01:01, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - I despise cells and their overprocessing, even with manual mode. Just wish I could get my camera into concerts... — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:51, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I like the fact that this one shows through the sculpture, but on the downside: (1) it is in shadow, and (2) it isn't very sharp. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 01:46, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Roosilawaty

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 7 Feb 2023 at 02:53:07 (UTC)

Reason: Excellent, high quality image of an Indonesian film star. This image admittedly has a checkered past, what with having been promoted as Chitra Dewi, then delisted when we realized she'd been misidentified. Now that Roosilawaty has her own article, however, things should be golden; we also have an image of her with her autograph scrawled across it, as well as numerous other images identified with text beside them, supporting the ID.

Yes, it can be added to Industry City. All buildings (5 in foreground and 2 in background) are also in the 1958 lead image in Industry City (background buildings can be ID-ed with the help of this, exterior colors have changed). The depicted area (in nom image) is part of the warehouse and storage section of Industry City, next to the 7 covered piers (only traces of the piers remain now).

Support – the infobox image [6] is a good depiction of the mountain and I'd have supported its nomination. But if we are ever going to have a qualifying sunrise or sunset photo, the nom image would qualify. It shows the city (Rio) in the foreground and is a well rounded and attractive balance of foreground and background, including the mountain. Bammesk (talk) 15:56, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Uniform compound of four tetrahedra (UC₂₃)

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 13 Feb 2023 at 06:11:59 (UTC)

**Original** – Uniform compound of four digonal antiprisms, or tetrahedra UC₂₃

Reason: This uniform compound of four tetrahedra (UC₂₃; p=2, q=1 and n=4) is beautiful, and surprisingly not very well known. It has a distinctively striking appearance, that to me is both very symmetric and tangible. The infinite families of uniform compound polyhedra UC₂₀ through UC₂₅ tend to be overlooked, so this image being featured could bring some attention to these, through this one example of a uniform antiprismatic compound.

When I asked if people about this model in the Tea house, people said they'd prefer a rotating model. I can make it move more smoothly. Also, colors are supposed to be bright for these models, the only darker colors available are generally reserved for regular, semiregular and other more important uniform polytopes.

What's wrong with toy-like? Aren't all 3D polytope models toy-like? Radlrb (talk) 04:13, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's the flat lighting and the saturated coloring. Try another shading algorithm to make it look more natural... Also, there are a lot of spurious pixels in the background area. Janke | Talk 07:41, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely, thank you. I'll cook something up really nice. It's comical because I didn't zoom in, and while these images are heavier in general, I thought it was cleaner than it is. There is something I like about the pixelation as is when you zoom in, it's electric. For our purposes something cleaner is naturally needed. Radlrb (talk) 08:49, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – Radlrb, for me the main issue is the 250x250 pixel size. It's good enough for infobox, but I like to see something bigger, say 500x500 pixels or larger when I open the image in its own window. I will support if that's done. Bammesk (talk) 15:34, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Will do! I might not get to it by the 13th, if so I'll renominate once it is cleaned. I might modernize it slightly too. TY Radlrb (talk) 02:18, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I agree with Bammesk, I was thinking the same. Please consider that 250×250 looks tiny on high dpi displays. I wouldn't go under 500×500 pixels and stay above if possible. I wonder if the movement could be smoother, too, and if the colours can be reworked to look prettier. Thank you :) --Lion-hearted85 (talk) 16:41, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Normally I would automatically support this sort of eye-catching and informative geometry visualization. But the parent article is so badly sourced and packed with what appears to be original research (like so many of our polyhedron articles) that I can't bring myself to do so. It's not even obvious to me that the topic is notable: you can place any number of copies of a tetrahedron rotated around one of its axes; what makes this choice of an axis and number of copies special? Do any sources specifically address this shape, not merely mentioning it without depth as an example of a more general construction? —David Eppstein (talk) 03:05, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, this is not the place to discuss such a topic, I would rather discuss that in the talk page, rather than here. It's notable because, it is a uniform compound, and the third of its class, if you'd like a quick answer. You know. Ah, that article is not badly sourced, and has zero OR, you must not know the material well, I suggest you read it. And you are also over-generalizing. Thank you for your input. P.S.: In depth, this compound has only been studied for what it is, just another example. Is it yet known to be applicable somehow? Yes, in a sense, in that it is the double compound of the stella octangula, which is self-dual. So for that reason alone it is notable. This doesn't need to be explicitly stated anywhere since it is common sense and explained by Coxeter and many others, however you seem to not have caught that yet? Radlrb (talk) 05:41, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Weisstein was never actually voted a non-reliable source, and made policy, was it? It's more your sentiment against it, since you're referring to all sources in the article, and as I have meant yet not gotten to yet, I'll get that page number for the Norman Johnson article (I imagine you mean there especially? Since Robert Webb is obviously the important expository source that makes the article valuable). It's not unreliable, at least not for this article and for most articles that I have read for (98%). And gee, do I really have to say that we need to also be responsibly creative with Wikipedia, because where we can fit notability even though not as strongly, and allow an article to come to fruition, then we should, since it expands knowledge that is important. I bet you this compound beauty will have vast significance beyond what we have found thus, which is though small, still important, since it's another compound with octahedral symmetry that is uniform, aside from the known polyhedra and compounds. Yes, third of its class uniformity is sufficient notability, for which we have at least two sources listed (and will be adding Coxeter and others that did mention these compounds too for completion). I hope I'm being clear, I'm not trying to create 50 articles of Compounds of Tetrahedra, obviously, the first four through five compounds, yes, because it makes sense, aside from the larger uniform ones (10, 12, and 20 tetrahedra). They share tetrahedral and octahedral symmetries (rotational or full), and icosahedral, as immediate subgroups (for the compound of 4 tetrah, it's like a merging of octahedral and octagonal prismatic symmetry, 24 or 48, and 32). I guess I just explained it here, rather than in the talk page. Radlrb (talk) 05:58, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And to be honest, I was kind of looking for your comment, but not wishing it would be an attempt to just minimize, you know? Like I'm hoping we can make amends here. Radlrb (talk) 06:06, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Although I can't speak to Brazil, my experience in Indonesia suggests that the tropical sun can certainly lead to high levels of saturation at higher altitudes (this FP is an example... though admittedly that FP is somewhat less saturated). However, the noise in the sky suggests that quite a bit of post-processing was involved to get this saturation, and even if it weren't, the noise would be a deal breaker.

**Original** – Don Lemon at the Pulitzer Prizes, 2018

Reason: High quality, encyclopedic image. Illustrates the subject in a jarring yet fascinating way and is somewhat of an article hook. No technical issues from what I can tell.
