  • Oppose As a juvenile, it should not be the image to illustrate the article. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:33, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's a topic for the article talk page, no? Oppose if it doesn't significantly contribute to the article, but that shouldn't be based on whether it's an infobox image, especially if the content/quality of the image is just going to be superseded by the age of the particular animal for infobox purposes. IMO it's silly to get into talk of positioning in these threads because no decision at FPC overrides editorial judgment at the articles themselves, so what we promote today could be moved out of the infobox tomorrow. Meh. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:55, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well said, I agree with Rhododendrites. Besides, Charles has previously argued for promoting (and has nominated) various images of the same animal, such as an adult, a juvenile, a flying pose, etc. So why is he opposing this for being a juvenile!? Bammesk (talk) 02:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • FPs are fine for juveniles etc., but I don't think juveniles are right for the infobox picture. Particulalry not of this species. If we had an FP of the adult with its horns, then that is different. We shouldn't mislead readers of an encyclpaedia. I have changed the Wikipedia article.
