Support as nominator – ArionStar (talk) 00:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:WIAFP: It is preferable to wait a reasonable period of time (at least 7 days) after the image is added to the article before nominating. Image modified today in the articles -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:09, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's just a centered version of the original one. Not a major change. Is that a final rule in this case? Can a/this replacing be considered as an adding? ArionStar (talk) 01:24, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No. The image was not in Kaaba yesterday. -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:47, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can remove it.

Done. ArionStar (talk) 02:04, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please restore the previous version on Islam too (nomination already modified). The derivative work suffers from JPG compression. Only 5.76 MB (for a minor crop) while the original weighs 8.46 MB. The embedded profile has also been changed by the sockpuppet / uploader Aliphotography pretending to be the author. It is now "Display P3" instead of standard "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" in the original version. I think this file should be delisted and replaced on Commons with a valid (and separate) upload. -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:37, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's funny that you supported it on Commons. Go on, delist and replace it, guy from Commons. Again: I do not care about your actions there. ArionStar (talk) 04:13, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

According to this discussion, one vote is missing (10 instead of 11). Maybe a "guy from Commons"? :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:30, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe… the truth is that we live in a love and hate psychoanalytic dichotomy… This is what my therapist say. ArionStar (talk) 04:42, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fascinating. -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:01, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The shot isn't completely vertical, the Kaaba leans to the left slightly. May need rotated. E_F⁵ 01:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Info: File uploaded on Commons 2 weeks ago by Aliphotography, the sockpuppet of the blocked user ArionStar (nominator). -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:09, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The author is above. ArionStar (talk) 03:29, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Armbrust: AS you seem to be the key (very helpful) user monitoring FPC, I consider that all Wikis should abide by the same code of ethics; so a ban on Commons concerning featured images should surely be respected here; quite apart from the attacks on Basile which should not go unoticed by any Admin active here. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:07, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it is quite disconcerting to note that barely a few minutes after calling me "guy from Commons", "Basile from Commons", "guy from Commons / you are the most confrontational point in the Wiki Universe ever", this user comes to send me notifications to inform me that one of my photos is loaded on his wheelbarrow. As others have had the privilege recently (1, 2, 3, and many more) I mean, no need to play the hypocrite, nor to create childish and sterile miseries. The explanation justifying these excesses is not really convincing. When you come to brag on Commons hidden behind fake illegitimate accounts, you have to measure and assume the consequences. This person comes to spam the community with excessive nominations exceeding the limit number, blatantly and impunity breaks the rules, then brags there to be untouchable on Wikipédia-new-home. Commons and Wikipedia are not rival projects. They are supposed to work together, and complement each other. This nomination, proposed just after being caught, seems quite incredible to me. -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:14, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also think Arion's comments about Commons are an attempt at good hand, bad hand. 'Ignore what I'm doing on Commons' (massive sockpuppet abuse and vandalism), 'just focus on what I'm doing here.' Cmao20 (talk) 14:27, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Charlesjsharp: I don't think that enough users would agree with you on that point. (Especially as Commons doesn't even has a banning policy.) If you think their behaviour is disruptive enough then you can initiate an WP:AN discussion about it, and can seek appropriate sanctions against them. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 05:40, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
ArionStar was "blocked for a year, and indefinitely banned from Featured pictures candidates" by Commons administrators. Then, due to non-compliance with this sanction, and in particular attempts to evade by creating illegitimate accounts, the block has extended. -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:44, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Info: Original version now restored in all articles. -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:44, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New edited version added. ArionStar (talk) 21:54, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, the file presented here and claimed to be "original" was actually this derivative File:The Kaaba during Hajj (edited).jpg. Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:32, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
