Original – Photograph of a reproduction of the Emancipation Proclamation
Reason
A reproduction of the emancipation proclamation issued by then President Abraham Lincoln. While this was a landmark moment in the abolitionist movement in the United States, it did not in fact free the slaves; instead, the proclamation declared that the federal government of the United States would confiscate all slave in the south for use in the northern war effort - which was within the powers delegated by the United States Constitution to enable the President of the United States to legally seize any property judge to be needed by the government in for a war effort. Slavery as an institution in the United States (excepting sexual slavery and human trafficking) would no be abolished until passage of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which would outlaw slavery in the United States as a whole. A word of caution: This image is very large; if you've got a slow connection or a computer with limited bandwidth perhaps its better not to view the image here.

  • Support it's a bit grubby and has a little tear or too but I'm not too bothered about that; if, for example, the corner had been dynamited off and it was smeared with lard it would be different (Diliff, that isn't an image request ;) ), but these little imperfections don't harm the EV much IMO.

Echinocereus reichenbachii (var. reichenbachiiis) a perennial plant and shrub in the cactus family. Its popular names, lace or hedgehog cactus, refer to the appearance of the spines. The species is native to the Chihuahuan Desert and parts of northern Mexico and the southern and southwestern United States, where they grow at elevations ranging from 0 to 1,500 meters (0 to 4,921 ft). It earned the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Reason
This is a focus stack of six images. It's technically sound, high resolution, and has good EV. Since the last nom wasn't promoted due to lack of support, and the consensus was that the pot looked odd, I made another image with much softer detail in the pot, and I think it looks better.

OriginalThe Punishment of Lust 1891. Also called The Punishment of Luxury by people that can't bring themselves to say ... you know ... the "L" word;
Reason
It's freaky. For the sin of Lust you get to magically float around naked in the Alps in a child's sleeping bag with a lot of other women who look exactly like you. It might be a bit nippy, and I'd like to take a jumper and some gloves, but other than that it's pretty cool. Google Art Project hasn't been tempted to lighten it so you still get the twilight in the mountains feel.

Reason
High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set). The Half Eagle $5 gold coin was authorized by Congress in 1792, stuck in mid-1795, and was the first gold coin produced by the United States. In production for 134 years (1795–1929), five designers/engravers executed eight different design types. In addition, two excessively rare varieties are presented.
Original
A complete typeset (10 coins) of eight Half eagle gold $5 coins and two additional excessively rare major varieties from 1795 to 1929. The diameter of a Half eagle ranges from 25mm (roughly the size of a current issue U.S.quarter) to 21.6mm (roughly the size of a current issue U.S. nickel).

  • That gives it more value, but I'm not sure something so generic rates FP status. It's kind of like featuring the block of red squares at Red. Of course I can't point to anything in the criteria that disqualifies it; that would be too easy; I'll just have to have a think about it; I'll just have to have a think about it ... over cocktails. Belle (talk) 14:20, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think the EV is in any doubt, but I think this is so simple that it falls below my threshold for what makes a FP; I'm not going oppose it though as there's nothing the FP criteria to oppose on. Belle (talk) 00:11, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for your participation here, I've tried my best to address helpful specific suggestions raised by others, above.

  • I think it may come down to taste, I dunno... I didn't vote against, but even so... This image seems inscribed in an online political battle, and I'm not sure I completely understand its usage and importance. it just sort of looks like "test pattern" to me, not aesthetic, not a pretty image. I referenced the Christopher Wool painting b/c its definitely a touchstone in today's "Emperor's New Clothes" conceptual art market (and the Christie's lot notes are notorious for hyperbolic oversell). But I'm just trying to understand the "Support" here. What am I missing, what makes it pretty? Is it even supposed to be pretty? Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 20:29, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Local being very pedantic: Daniel Case, it is not typical for the Space Needle to dominate the Seattle skyline because it's a mile north of the central business district, where the tallest skyscrapers have surpassed its height since the 1980s. Photos of Seattle in which the Space Needle looks taller than other towers are all taken from the north, usually Queen Anne Hill, where the Needle is well in the foreground. This photo gives a better idea of how the Needle and the downtown skyscrapers relate to each other: Commons:File:SeattleSkylineSuperPanorama.jpg. 98.247.144.23 (talk) 05:48, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's another reason to like this as an FP. I suppose I should have said "atypically for photos of Seattle." Thanks for the (ahem, in this instance) clarification ... I've never been there so I wouldn't have known this. Daniel Case (talk) 15:07, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support as nominator –  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:05, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ha, that's interesting. I took some photos of it when I was last in Paris. I didn't get an architectural view of it like this though, as I just wandered through the park (which is not that big compared to the height of the tower) and took a photo looking up at it from a considerable angle, so I'm not sure it would have as much EV as this view, but I never got around to processing it, so perhaps I'll take this as inspiration to actually work on the photo and upload it... But back to this image... I'm pretty sure Benh has used exposure fusion to create this, which from my experience creates the dull under-saturated sky that you see in this photo, along with the haloes around the buildings. At the very least, I think it could be reprocessed using true HDR tone mapping to get a more realistic looking sky. That's just the perfectionist in me though. :-) Ðiliff «» (Talk) 10:29, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Featured on Commons. And also Quality image on Commons. Quite nice perspective lines. — Cirt (talk) 11:04, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support The muddy sky could just be Paris; romantic maybe, but occasionally a bit smoggy too; how I long to have him take my hand in his and whisper those three little words: Get ... me ... oxygen .... Belle (talk) 11:54, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think it's smoggy though. I've taken enough photos (and London is not so different!) to know that the sky tends to get lighter the smoggier it gets (more light reflecting off particles in the air). You don't get that dark grey-blue sky when it's cloudy or smoggy. I'm sure it's the image processing that has caused this. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:40, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Probably more the polarizer than the processing (the polarizer tends to desaturate the sky). But I like how it makes the golden tower stand out. If you folks think this affects EV, I can fix that. - Blieusong (talk) 20:24, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • It could be the polariser but I haven't noticed that it desaturates the sky - only darkens it. Did you use exposure fusion though? If so, I think it's the cause because it's a similar effect to what I've seen many times before when using it. As for it affecting EV, I don't think so, but as you mentioned many times on other nominations, it's worth making it the best image it can be. ;-) Ðiliff «» (Talk) 22:50, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • Yes exposures blending, which actually yielded a sky much darker than this (but it's really mostly from the polarizer because the effect is dramatic when light comes from the side). Would you believe I had to brighten it? I could go further but if it doesn't affect EV to reviewers over here, I'll leave it like that. As I said, it makes the golden tower stand out and I like it. My personal artistic touch. But if I think about it I should fix the halos. - Blieusong (talk) 17:31, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Lovely quality on main target, yes a small halo on surrounding buildings, but happy enough to support this... gazhiley 12:38, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OriginalPortrait of Mrs Richard Yates, 1793. She's sewing, but she's thinking about where to put that needle if you cross her.
Reason
Does she look like the sort of woman you should be messing with? Megahigh (that's two steps up from highest) EV, even if the painting is only in galleries and isn't in Gilbert Stuart's article (all taken up pictures with someone called George Wassingdon or something and a skater; I'm sure I can squeeze it into the gallery though)

Reason
High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set). The Double eagle $20 gold coin (final set of regular-issue U.S. gold coins) was struck from 1849 to 1933. The Liberty Head types (1849–1907) were designed by James B. Longacre. The Saint-Gaudens types (1907 – 1933) were designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The first coin in the set (1849 Liberty Head Double eagle) is unique because (according to A Guide Book of United States Coins) only a single coin was minted. Each of the Liberty Head types is the first year of issue. The Saint-Gauden types include the scarce high relief and very rare ultra-high relief.
Original
A complete typeset of seven Double eagle gold $20 coins from 1849 to 1933. Included is one image (a three-photo montage) of edge lettering and detail on a high relief 1907 $20 coin.

OriginalView of Delft is an oil painting by Johannes Vermeer, painted around 1660–61. It shows the southern aspect of the city on a calm and tranquil day. Typical Vermeer, this uses natural light in such a marvellous way. (Interesting to note that Delft was a little scruffier than this: Vermeer tidied the place up a bit for his picture). The painting was acquired by the Mauritshuis in the Hague in 1822.

Original – View of Piazzetta San Marco toward Grand Canal of Venice, at dawn, with Doges' Palace on the left and Biblioteca Marciana on the right. The two columns are, from left to right, Saint Mark's, protector of the city, and Saint Theodore's.
Reason
Large size, nice blue hour timing, gives a context for where the palace is located and... not a single d*mn tourist (ok there's one on the left) means zero distraction (although not quite representative of how insanely busy this place usually is).

Original – The Areni-1 shoe is a 5,500-year-old leather shoe that was found in 2008 in excellent condition in the Areni-1 cave complex located in the Vayots Dzor province of Armenia. It is believe to be the oldest piece of leather footwear in the world known to contemporary researchers.
Reason
The EV is great. Quality is as good as it gets. It has nice indicators to clarify its size. I am renominating it because it received a lot of support votes but not enough to meet the deadline. It's worth a second shot.

Reason
High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set). Beginning with South Carolina (December 20, 1860) and ending with Tennessee (June 8, 1861), 11 states seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America. The Act of March 9, 1861 passed by the Congress of the Confederate States authorized the issue of $1,000,000 in Confederate banknotes, followed by an additional $1,000,000 in August, 1861. Seven series of banknotes were authorized for $678,000,000, but just over $1.5 billion was actually issued.
The text underneath the images below includes: denomination, type number ("T" numbers refer to the categorization system widely used in Confederate banknotes and denote major design changes), portraits, vignettes, and/or allegories depicted on the note (from left to right), the engraver and/or publisher of the note, and the number of notes issued. Notes illustrated without a reverse were only printed on one side. The First Series (T1–T6) is already a Featured Picture set and is only included to be part of the complete set.
Condition – The usual supplies and equipment necessary to manufacture currency (i.e., paper, presses) were generally unavailable as a result of the Union blockade. The National Bank Note Company in New York and the Southern Bank Note Company in New Orleans (both subsidiaries of the American Bank Note Company), were forbidden by Federal authorities from further work with the southern states after the First Series of notes were issued. Using lithographers and very low quality ultra-thin paper, the issues produced in the middle series often look crude and hastily prepared. All notes are in at least average (or significantly better) condition for their specific type (i.e., factoring in rarity and issue size). Some types have never been seen in anything close to uncirculated condition.
Original
A complete typeset of 72 banknotes of the Confederate States of America (1861–1864). The first six notes are already Featured Pictures leaving 66 (the second series on) for your consideration. All images are 800dpi.

Original – Diagram showing a side view and underside of a conventional 18-wheeler semi-trailer truck with an enclosed cargo space. The underside view shows the arrangement of the 18 tires (wheels). Shown in blue in the underside view are the axles, drive shaft, and differentials. A table for the number listed can be found on the image page.
Reason
Respectable diagram of the major points on a standard tractor trailer truck (or articulated lorry, if you happen to be from the other end of the pond). Admittedly not a particularly exciting image, however it does label and show and the standard points of a tractor trailer truck quite well, and that I judge is worth a shot here. Note that this is an SVG image, and therefore while not at the minimum pixel size required to be listed it can resized as needed at no loss, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Chris- Interesting... I've never sharpened any coin image in processing so I wonder if it happened during shooting (or if someone else was in the raw file before me)?--Godot13 (talk) 01:06, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why does the gold have spots of red? And I don't recall silver forming iridescent oxide layers. Any particular reasons why this one has it? Nergaal (talk) 04:28, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is fairly common for silver and gold coins to develop toning over time (unless they have been kept in an air-tight environment or they have been cleaned). Both coins are well over 200 and 300 years old respectively and are in extremely good condition for their age.--Godot13 (talk) 05:27, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I knew some metals get the rainbow iridescence but never realized silver does it to. However, I really don't understand how does gold get "toned". You need reaaaaly special conditions to get it to oxidize. I am not doubting the coin quality, I am just worried about staining by some external layer/substance. Also of curiosity, what sort of grading would these get based on how old they are? Nergaal (talk) 06:36, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Silver écu – technically AU (Almost Uncirculated) but given the eye appeal it could be graded as mint state. Gold écu – fully struck AU (and its existence for 374 years might partially qualify as a "special condition").--Godot13 (talk) 18:34, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose until inaccuracies are addressed. One of our criteria is accuracy and verifiability. Misrepresenting the subject is an issue. Also, aren't there higher quality illustrations from books like Sobotta's Atlas and Text-book of Human Anatomy? Something like this would work much better than the fairly simple SVG we see here. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:30, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose this is a very high-quality image used on many articles that adds significantly to understanding, and I'm very grateful to the creator for making it. However I'm very uncomfortable promoting it to a "featured picture" because it's factually incorrect, something I feel should be a determining characteristic of featured pictures. Some examples:
    1. Nasal cavity bottom should be flat
    2. Uvula or soft palate?
    3. Epiglottis not labelled
    4. Abdominal contents quite high, as discussed
    5. Esophagus should be behind liver, as discussed
    6. Shape of stomach does not show pylorus
    7. Small intestine appears to be behind ascending colon
    8. Atypical labelling of common bile duct, this usually points to the duct above and the ampulla of Vater is usually where the label currently lies
    9. Ascending colon arrow points to the Taenia coli but descending to a haustra.
  • We may not have many anatomical featured images and so be it, I think the factual standards for accuracy should apply here just as they do in GA and FA. So without trying to diminish the high quality of this work, I appose this nomination for its accuracy. This oppose stands regardless of what commons users thought in 2007. --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:57, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • (E/C) Oppose due to inaccuracies and thus diminished EV, per soupvector and Chris Woodrich. Here are some further concerns:
    • The style is inconsistent. The intestines are shown as exteriors, while the stomach is shown as a hollow cross-section. Furthermore, the stomach's walls are shown in the same colour and confusingly appear continuous with the entire oesophagus and the nasal cavity and phraynx, which are empty spaces. Also, the highlighted colour of the oral cavity loses the fact that it is continuous with the pharynx.
    • It isn't clear what the shading in the liver is supposed to show. At any rate, it doesn't help convey that the gallbladder and bile ducts attach to the "underside" of the liver which is to the back. As with the liver/stomach positions, the entire image needs a better way of representing front and behind, not just simply changing the anatomy, which is misleading.
    • If the anatomical distortions are deliberate, in order to show each structure unobscured, this needs to be properly conveyed.
    • The roof of the mouth is far too thick.

Reason
High quality scans of an early example of this (now discontinued) form of Indonesian identity card. The law was passed in 1971; this card dates to 1973. The Surat Bukti Kewarganegaraan Republik Indonesia (SBKRI) was ostensibly required for all Indonesians of foreign descent, but in practice only enforced for ethnic Chinese. Without such a card, Chinese Indonesians would have difficulty making passports, ID cards, registering births, or otherwise dealing with the government. A law invalidating its use was passed in 1996 and reaffirmed in 1999, but in 2008 Kompas was still reporting Indonesian citizens of Chinese descent being asked for it.

Original – This oil on canvas painting of Thomas Lister, 4th Baron Ribblesdale was undertaken in 1902 by John Singer Sargent, the leading portrait painter of the Edwardian era. It portrays the Baron in hunting gear—he was the Master of the Buckhounds for fifteen years. In 1916 Ribblesdale presented the painting to the National Gallery in London in memory of his wife and his sons, Captain the Hon. Thomas Lister and Lieutenant the Hon. Charles Lister; the latter two had died in the fighting on the Western Front.

Reason
High quality, high EV (presented as a set).
Siege money is a term used for emergency issue currency (usually notes) that are produced during times of war, generally by the defenders during a prolonged siege. During times of siege and/or war, metallic currency is usually hoarded for the intrinsic value of the coin (e.g., gold, silver, bronze, copper), leaving a shortage of money, particularly small denominations. This has led to different types of siege notes (and in earlier times siege coins).
Original
Khedivate of Egypt, nearly complete set of Siege of Khartoum emergency currency issued by British Major-general Charles George Gordon in 1884. Denominated from 5 – 5,000 piastre, and 50 Egyptian pounds, half of the notes in the set are hand-signed by Gordon (the other bear a hectographic signature). Three of the notes appear to have been linen-backed. Design details can be found in the article.

Original – Correggio -The Head of Christ (Correggio) is a small devotional painting in oil on panel, by Correggio, who was also called Antonio Allegri dated 1521. Christ's head is given volume through alternate use of light and dark shadows. Correggio was noted for creating some of the most sumptuous religious paintings of the period.
Reason
Good scan, good artist. Head of Christ is painted by the Italian Renaissance painter Correggio, depicting the head of Christ, wearing the crown of thorns. In the background there is a white cloth showing that the image represents the Veil of Veronica. The painting is painting held by the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, Los Angeles. The Getty Museum considers this artwork as one of the masterpieces held by the museum.

Changed vote to support.

High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set). Does this seem like déjà vu? Similar, but different...
Formed on 28 October 1918, the Czechoslovak Republic was not prepared to issue banknotes until currency laws were passed. The first regular issue notes were dated 15 April 1919. In the intervening 5 ½ month period a provisional currency was used. The 1919 provisional issue of Czechoslovakian banknotes used 1902–15 Austro-Hungarian Bank issues. An important difference from the Hungarian issue (or all of the other provisional issues using the same base notes) – the Czech took over-stamp literally – affixing an adhesive stamp equal to 1/100 the value of the note (i.e., 1 koruna = 100 haleru) to the left front side, this served as validation of legal tender status in the Republic of Czechoslovakia. Following currency reform, the first regular issue banknotes were printed with a date of 15 April 1919. (NOTE: The 10 korun note is already featured individually and would simply become part of the set - it would not be featured a second time).
Original
A five-note complete set of the very short-lived issue of 1919 provisional Czechoslovak koruna using Austro-Hungarian krone as a base note with a validation stamp. One side is printed entirely in German, the other in Hungarian. The value of the note (on the German language side) appears additionally in Czech, Polish, Croatian, Slovene, Serbian, Italian, Ukrainian and Romanian.

Original – Painting by Alexander Roslin (1718–1793), though sometimes it was considered as a self-portrait too. But it is not quite made in her style, and documentation points towards Roslin. Vallayer-Coster was admitted to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1770, a rare achievement for a woman painter. Most painters were male that time in the Academy.
Reason
Good scan, good artist. The portrait is of Anne Vallayer-Coster (1744 – 1818), 18th-century French painter; one of the rare and successful woman artists in the art-history, who according to our article: " achieved fame and recognition very early in her career". She was known for her still life paintings.

Original – A picture with a fascinating history. When Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington entered Madrid during the Peninsular War, the Spanish artist Francisco Goya started his portrait—it accounts for the slightly strained, haunted look in his eyes—and showed the sitter in red uniform wearing his Peninsular Medal. By the time the painting was displayed in 1814, Wellington had been awarded the Order of the Golden Fleece and Military Gold Cross with three clasps and Goya had altered the painting to add these, also showing Wellington in full dress uniform with gold braid. The painting was stolen from the National Gallery in August 1961, but returned in July 1965; in the interim a copy appeared in the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No.

The painting, purchased for just $67,000 in 1952 from the London showroom of Agnew's by an alert trustee of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art,[1][2] has inspired envy and regret among numerous other prominent American museums (including New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art) for their failure to acquire, at a bargain price, what is often regarded as the most significant Caravaggio on the open market in the post-World War II era.
Reason
At least seven of the 80 or so surviving paintings by Caravaggio (1571-1610) are of St. John the Baptist, and of that series, this brooding, "psychologically interiorized" portrait of the young adult saint, shown (except for the cross) without any of his usual symbolic attributes, is considered by scholars the most radical portrait of the series. Caravaggio's unusual practice of composing directly on the canvas without any underpainting, incising salient features with the blunt end of his brush handle (or perhaps with a knife, as dramatized by Derek Jarman in his 1986 film) is evident here particularly on John's left leg. The scoring is visible in the high resolution scan from Google Art.

You might personally dislike the painting but I fail to see how this being a life portrait of Bacon by one his contemporaries a weak association by any means. And unless I'm some sort of lobbyist for Gray's work then I fail to see how it's conflict of interest. JJARichardson (talk) 13:33, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • You say the resolution is high enough to be FP; which worries me as you are backing into that judgement, based on the NPG owning it, which is really your rationale. Not good enough. Your reason for including the portrait on the Bacon page is weak, actually its not even stated, past being an opinion amounting to "because we can, we should". FP needs better evaluation criteria, or even some criteria, and what I'm seeing here is ILIKE it and inclusion creep. I remember the van Gogh lead image fiasco, and this is brewing here again. Pff. Ceoil (talk) 20:02, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello, thank you for your comment. I'm sorry that you are feeling worried. For my taste I think the resolution of the reproduction is just about on the edge (are the highlights a little crushed?), but just on the right side of ok. I bring this up because it is a significant part of the Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria, which are well worth a read, especially if you are voting here. I see that you feel the painting is "something a 14 year old would be ashamed by". However, the notability is not in question. Whether we like it or not, the artist has notability, has painted other high profile Irish subjects and yes, as I say, is part of the National Portrait Gallery's primary collection. I currently feel that it adds to the Encyclopaedia because it gives a contemporary's insight into Francis Bacon. I hope this goes some way to alleviating your worries. Chris TehGrauniad (talk) 20:50, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello, not really as you are thinking of the picture only, and my *fear* is insertion to the Bacon bio, where it it only properly belongs in a trivia section, if the article was badly enough maintained to allow. By the way, are "the highlights a little crushed" (the onus is on you as supporter), or is ILIKEIT the only criteria at play here? Further, my granny was a contemporary of Francis Bacon, or were you looking for another word. Ceoil (talk)
  • In my opinion it meets the 8 criteria. My comment about crushed highlights is to do with the quality of the reproduction (criteria 1 and 2) rather than a comment on the artwork itself, and I’ve noted that I think that it is good enough. I'm happy with my use of the word 'contemporary'. Chris TehGrauniad (talk) 12:55, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reason
High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set).
Inflation in Danzig during parts of 1922–23 had reached 2,440% (per month) and the denominations printed in papiermark had spiraled out of control. In 1923, the Free City of Danzig abandoned the German papiermark in favor of the Danzig gulden. Initially introduced under the Central Finance Department on 22 October 1923, the issuance of the new gulden was overseen by the Bank of Danzig, established in early 1924.
Original
A complete denomination set of seven Bank of Danzig gulden banknotes (1924–38). Each note contains the city's coat of arms (obverse, left) and an important local architectural structure (center).

  • Oppose In this stance, as opposed to a side-on view, too much of the bird is concealed to allow identification. A good taxobox image should aid identification; however, anyone who's looked at Passeriformes will tell you there are many birds that look similar to the one presented here in all the visible detais except perhaps the tail (I'd have to double-check) - even then, the length of the tail is hard to guesstimate from the picture. Almost any other picture on the internet shows the upperside, with its distinctive, diagnostic markings. Of the reasonable-resolution images on Commons, this, this and this serve as better examples for identification. I've replaced the image in the article, which is currently too short to carry a second image - perhaps we can look into expanding it. Samsara 05:19, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
