- Reason
- This set of videos shows a snapshot of the energy absorbed (incoming, blue image) and the energy radiated (outgoing, red image) by the earth and its atmosphere. The data includes transient atmospheric effects (cloud contributions). The data was collected over a two day period in January 2012. This set is informative in the two articles and helps explain the subject. If this nom gets a few supports, I will convert the video formats to WebM (which is preferred to ogv).

- One can't help but feel that using different colour scales for things meant to be compared, and the inability to watch them next to each other, makes this an awkward set. A simple map projection - ideally without the missing information in the top image - would allow easy comparison. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs 13:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- It isn't a simple comparison, their physics are different. The incoming is shortwave radiation (blue, as in optics) and the outgoing is longwave (red, as in optics). The outgoing includes energy storage effects, but the incoming has no such thing. The outgoing relates to heat on Earth (red being a natural choice), and the incoming related to input from outer space (blue being Earth's natural color from outer space). Yes a map would be easier to look at. However, the incoming video conveys a spatial relation between the energy source (the Sun) and the revolving of Earth (useful for novice readers). There is an advantage in either type of illustration. The missing data on the incoming video is unfortunate, but this isn't an everyday type of measurement, IMO it's good enough.

Yes it's notable that the German-Polish border is now undefended and trivial for most people to cross, but there has to be a better way to illustrate this topic than this photo (a photo of a sign marking the border at the side of a highway would get the message across more effectively, for instance).

I could see it as part of a gallery/set, but it's hard to understand why specifically this one. I also fully get why it passed Commons, where the usage wouldn't be judged so much.

- Reason
- There's maybe one or two more Royal Gallery of Illustration operettas of note that posters are available for,[1] but this is to some extent the end of the set. This one is for a work by W. S. Gilbert and Thomas German Reed which is still revived occasionally; indeed, I actually performed in it back in 2017 or so. The poster gets reproduced in Gilbert biographies a lot as well, and the plot is rather fun, albeit with a couple bits we decided to cut as they hadn't aged well.
By the by, if this passes,and the Iolanthe one lower down this page does tooPassed., by my count this'll be 599 FPs. I'm planning a more labour-intensive one for #600. (I also have one backup prepared for if Iolanthe doesn't pass, because I plan these things way too much.)
- ^ Balfe's The Sleeping Queen gets occasional performances still, and Tom Taylor's The Family Legend is at least discussed in books I've read (mainly for having inspired Ages Ago and thus Ruddigore, but, y'know. That might be as much because a lot of the books I read about it in were specifically on W. S. Gilbert, who I helped raise to Featured Article well enough that I don't think it's ever been challenged.) But I digress.

- Oppose Aside from this not being a particularly great photo (in itself not a disqualifying issue for a Wikipedia FP), I don't think it illustrates the topic well as it depicts a devastating disaster that no business could survive. The 'Waffle House Index' is largely a reference to the chain's reputation for staying open or quickly reopening in the face of natural disasters, so an photo showing a Waffle House open despite destruction around it would better illustrate the topic.

- Quality image of an Antique shop, and lead image of the article since 2013. There is a small motion blur on her head-hair area, due to the low lighting and therefore the slow shutter speed. I wouldn't hold that against the photograph though, because it shows she is alive and human, unlike every object in the shop. FP on Commons.

- Reason
- And, while we're at it, a stunning chioscuro artwork - I've probably misspelt that - which shows how art was designed for woodblock engraving, as well as being a stunning image for an interesting play. It's a very good parody of Hamlet where Claudius' crime is much less (he wrote a really terrible play), so the plot focuses more on how annoying it is having Hamlet running about soliliquising all the time, and no-one dies.

- Comment This one-off charity performance should not define the play (i.e the article). Interesting of course, but not so much EV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:52, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Charlesjsharp: Given the show's history - its early history was largely defined by benefit performances, save for a single run, and the first performance was a benefit performance - I think it's not atypical, and it gets the mood and spirit of the show quite well in the middle illustration of the dénouement. It's also not a show with a lot of illustration options. It's possible I could find some of the 1891 benefit or the 1892 short run, but whether they'd be particularly worthwhile is hard to say. Known drawings do not bode well (Though I'm pretty sure that's Hamlet's speech to the players, which is at least a significant moment; mind, the current suggestion is the performance itself that the play centres around.)

- This shows flour grains levitated in a quadrupole ion trap. Science subjects are hard to depict. This brings attention to the subject, and as FPC instructions say: "to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article" (I hope). Not a high pixel count but meets the FP requirement.

- I think it's somewhat important to ask: Is the green light functional in some way? Because the ion trap works with rapidly changing electrical fields. If the light's part of the device, then of course I'd support. If it's just being used to make it look "science-y", though, I can't. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 05:18, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
- Neither. It's not part of the electric field (which is radio frequency per article, and invisible), and it's not there to make it science-y. It's there (perhaps at both ends) to illuminate the trap space and the trapped particles, to make them visible. The particles are almost microscopic. That's what the device is designed for, ionized/charged particles, i.e. very small. It will be hard to see much there with room lighting, camera flash and such.

- Support.

- Comment: There's also a current FP which shows the fruit in a longitudinal section, and is currently used (rather inappropriately IMO) in the prepared food infobox for canned mangosteen in syrup. The horizontal cross-section in the new image is a much better depiction not least because that's how the fruit is normally opened, though maybe some indication that the two fruits are shown in different orientations would be a good idea. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:14, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose. While I don't think Sca's reasoning is relevant to the Featured Picture Criteria, this photo was taken at a manufactured tourist attraction in Pattaya, and the authenticity of the portrayed subject and thus the accuracy of the information the image provides should be strongly questioned, especially since it's being used in the Karen people article as the infobox image. I've removed the image from the article, considering that it was added as part of the WPWP campaign, which is known for generating a huge amount of poor quality/inaccurate image additions. The photo could probably find better use illustrating an article about ethnic tourism or something along those lines, were it accompanied by relevant and verifiable commentary. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:08, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
