- Reason
- It's very high quality, even if a large number of fine scratches made it a nightmare to restore.
- We do have an FP of him, File:T Roosevelt.jpg but it's barely used anymore, and I'd say that, while the restoration is fine, this is simply a better photo. Don't think we need to delist the old one, but I leave that up to others to decide after this passes.
- Articles in which this image appears
- Theodore Roosevelt + like 30 more, more if you count the 3x4 crop (used because it better goes along side the terrible image we have of his vice-president in a few articles on elections; Did check, didn't find a better image for Alton B. Parker, so it's probably best to cater a bit. Compare [1] [2])

- It looks a bit yellow to me. Yann (talk) 10:56, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Presuming the original is accurate - and it's a museum scan - I've readjusted accordingly, allowing for the slight levels adjustment as the original is quite dark in the lighter areas.
- This revealed a ton of hidden damage, so.... @Yann, Bammesk, Charlesjsharp, and Hamid Hassani: New version with additional restoration up. I try not to do this, but it's also true some things only show when you've stepped back a while. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 12:32, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Old paper often turns yellow. Yes better, so Support – Yann (talk) 12:36, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- I try not to over-speculate in the absence of evidence in that line. But I do know for a fact that different copies of photos can have wildly different exposures, and often do, and that sepia images can also vary a lot in tone between copies of the same photo (both of these were very hard to precisely reproduce between copies, as they involved some very precise timing. For an example of how much things can vary, while they're not exactly the same image, compare the tones of [3] and [4], or the exposure of [5] and [6]), so I do think a little tweaking of a widely reproduced image isn't so bad.

- No, certainly not. Bammesk (talk) 23:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- The first line of FP guidance states that 'Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles'. So if not in the infobox, they should add significant EV in some other way. One test surely is that if the image was removed, would we lose significant EV? So if the acorns were shown in a timeline, indicating the stages of growth and colour changes, then that would add EV.

- Comment There's a potentially featurable whole-body photo of the female of this species (and the male one is already featured). I think generally EV is higher in full-body animal photos. Brandmeistertalk 17:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment This is a terrific image, but I agree with Brandmeister that the full-body photo of the female has more EV, and it's also a great photograph in its own right (wonderful posture!). One point in particular regarding the EV: the full-body photo of the female gives an excellent view of the feet, which are obscured in the other lead photo in the species article (the Harrison photo of the male). This matters, because the feet are what this family of birds, the Megapodiidae, are named for. That's what makes the photo of the female such a good lead image for the Megapode article, and gives it a value that the nominated detail, for all its excellence as an image, doesn't have. Charles, how would you feel about nominating that photo instead? Choliamb (talk) 14:22, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

- This is a historically significant image of a high technical standard, with a high resolution (2,784 × 1,713 pixels). It is already recognised as a Featured Picture on Wikicommons. It is one of the few illustrative depictions of Bresci's trial, and adds significant encyclopedic value to the respective section of Bresci's article. It is in the public domain and all the details of authorship, creation and publications are known and detailed in the file description. Minor image manipulation was carried out to cover up a page break in the middle of the image.

At the same time, there's a lot of attention to detail that makes me think that truly hiding the crease isn't possible.

A daytime photo would have stronger EV in regards to appearance, as well as to better capture it's rather over the top design: there's a risk that night shots glamorise it.

- Like this one? That image has a lower image quality when closed in, though. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- No, the one you linked to has less pixels per mile. ESA has a version Here but that's also less pixels per mile. I was comparing it to Google Earth's top view. But that's not really a good comparison. Google uses multiple images, lots of processing, and very likely AI sharpening, so the result can be somewhat fake. The nom image has 400 pixels per mile, and per This link that is technically "high resolution". Same as This FP. It's just that the nom image looks soft at full size. Per MER-C, some (or all of it) is because of the original's small file size (449 KB), although I don't see any JPEG artifacts at full size. I sharpened it slightly. And for archiving, I uploaded the original as a separate file. Bammesk (talk) 18:29, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

The photographer only made small number notes on his prints, as can be seen on the print of the other photo of the scene. Cart (talk) 14:01, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes; so the 'original' here is the photogravure which should not be cropped. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:01, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- I think there's arguments. I usually go with "Is there a salvagable border?" Because weird grey paper (due to being a black-and-white-scan, when paper tends to have a very slight yellow tone) isn't really worth saving. I'd say Support, as long as the text cropped is in the description. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 08:49, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

- I know you're half-joking, but I would oppose this. I'm certainly not someone who believes that cultural appropriation is inherently evil and colonialist, but I think it is important not to make the appropriative use the primary one in which a cultural tradition is understood. Particularly for something like this that is coming out of a now severely endangered indigenous culture, the original context should always be primary, the later reference secondary. Anyway, this is a great and important image--thanks for restoring it and nominating it. blameless 19:40, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input, and I agree with your reasoning. I come from a culture where we freely float odd ideas and we like to brainstorm, to see if anything constructive can come from it. I know that is not generally embraced on wiki, hence my caveats. I was sort of going for the boost a big present-day thing could have for highlighting what you rightly call a "severely endangered indigenous culture" in some way.

ConditionalSupport Lead image of a couple articles. I might not be interested in Miss America, but it certainly passes the General Notability Guideline many times over. That said, there are a few obvious dark blotches on her face and neck that clearly aren't meant to be there, like the one on her left cheek (right as you're looking at it), and some less intrusive ones on other bits of skin.

- I suspect it'd need to stabilise in at least one article. That's an awfully major change to just presme will stick. It's probably not a suitable lead image, nor suitable for many other uses, so I'd like to see its new usage(s) stabilise.
- Slight worries about the painting copyright, but I suspect that it's hard for an American painting to keep copyright in this era. I'd also like to see a new lead image, instead of just crop and uncrop in the same article. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 13:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

- Comment – I like this image. FP criterion #5 says "It is preferable to wait a reasonable period of time (at least 7 days) after the image is added to the article before nominating it, though this may be ignored in obvious cases". I suppose this is an obvious case, though most nominators would wait. Same with your other nominations. On a sidenote, it would be nice if the article had a little more info about the current state of the town, for example population, if it's still sustained by coal mining and such.

- Support – it's a good lead image in both articles listed above. Bammesk (talk) 02:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Bammesk: For the record, adding an image where none existed is almost always a good reason to ignore the waiting rule, in my opinion.

- Comment This is the artist's signed watercolour which was presumably used for the set design. It is not the set design. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:45, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- We have a few that exist in multiple states, and this is part of the stage design process. The next is seperating out the backdrop from the standing pieces, etc. And, of course, it's from 1833, so well before options like photography existed to document final state.

- Reason
- Infobox image in main article, excellent photo of iconic view for any Swede. To non-Swedes mostly know as the venue of the Nobel Banquet. Blue hour winter photo that eliminates all the tourists, foliage, boats and commercial stuff that usually clutter this area. Bonus points for including the noted Västerbron bridge, which also gives depth to image.
