Delist and Replace — Yann (talk) 16:40, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think this new restoration has gone too far and deviates too much from the original. I quote what I wrote on another nom: "Many issues in the photo could be fixed with today's programs, but I think you should only go so far with restorations. I like the original photo to be preserved as much as possible for a historic FP. Making too wild edits and you end up with an image that is more "based on a photo by" than a restoration. (Like when filmmakers make movies "based on a novel by Xxx..." and re-warp old classic stories to fit the modern narrative.)" Cart (talk) 17:00, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I removed any denoise (because film grain is not noise) and also any AI reconstruction, applied a white balance taking the color of the computer as a reference. I also removed a lot of dirt from the original film, leaving the details present intact. I think that although this photo does not look yellowish (due to the wear and tear of time), they are more representative colors and a more respectful restoration.

Delist and Replace the "New edited version". – Hamid Hassani (talk) 02:51, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per my comment above. Also per what Wilfredor wrote on Commons FPC about this new version: "My restoration aims to show how the scene actually looked at that moment, not how a photo taken in the 80s appeared." It's a noble intention, but that's not how restoring photos works. We don't have time machines to go back and see exactly what the scene looked like in 1984 to compare. The work of the original photographer should be respected. Cart (talk) 09:39, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Technically speaking, what I did was remove stains and dirt, and also remove the yellowing from the negative. Please, could you be more specific and say which of these two things I did do you disagree with? Thanks for your feedback Wilfredor (talk) 10:19, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With photo restorations, there is a such a thing as cleaning up too much. Also, removing so much yellow component from this photo was a bit misguided. The tif was taken from a color slide (not a negative) and such film doesn't age and yellow as quickly as the paper prints that restorations often are made from. Color fade/(desaturation) is a more common problem. (I have color slides that my grandfather took some 50-60 years ago and they show not a hint of yellowing.) The color in the "old" version was graded by Janke (who is a professional film maker, and owns a Mac 512K) to match the actual original color of the Mac in the photo. I think we should defer to his expertise. Cart (talk) 10:45, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation and taking the time to respond, I agree with you, but I have one question, raising the shadows resulting in an error in the red border around the hands wasn't a very big alteration away from the original? Wilfredor (talk) 11:41, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The halos were not from raising the shadows, just a byproduct of converting the tif to jpeg and overall brightening of the photo. They already existed in the tif, but became augmented. Today I might have done that differently, but it was not challenged by reviewers so I have to live with it. Cart (talk) 11:59, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I say on Commons, Wilfredor's version is brighter, and has more cleaning of spots and scratches, so Apple may rather choose it for marketing purpose. But is it faithful to the other original? It is another question. Yann (talk) 15:54, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think Apple would choose Wilfredor's version for marketing, since the color of the Mac is wrong in it (see previous nom). Cart (talk) 16:24, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I withdraw this nomination. It was useful to have your feedback. Yann (talk) 19:44, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The original mac color was not yellow, The typical yellowish color is due to the passage of time, the negative or photo ages and turns that color, coinciding with the color that computers also acquire. I am particularly against this yellowish color and I consider that it is part of the restoration to eliminate it. Wilfredor (talk) 21:38, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the original photo (the color slide) had yellowed with age, changing the color of the Mac, as you claim could have happened, how come that the collar of the shirt Jobs is wearing in the photo is still white? Shouldn't that part of the photo have turned yellow too? Even burned out highlights in a photo on a medium (film, paper, whatever) that has yellowed with age have a yellow tint.

You might also want to take a look at the article about the color of early computers, where you can read that Macs didn't turn desaturated gray until 1987, three years after this photo was taken. Cart (talk) 22:48, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, you're correct. Apple's choice of the warm, desaturated gray known as 'Platinum' was a significant shift in their design philosophy. This color, part of the iconic Snow White design language crafted by Frog Design, was introduced between 1987 and 1990. It marked a departure from the previous generation's 'Pantone 453' beige tone that adorned Apple II and early Mac products. The Platinum hue not only endured throughout the 1990s in Apple's product line but also set a trend, widely emulated by competitors and still visible today. The initial preference for beige was influenced by the Apple I's typical wooden housing, with beige offering a more refined look compared to brown. However, the early production process of Apple Beige, involving hand-painted plastic cases, led to inconsistent coloration and visible variations, particularly after hand sanding. This lack of uniformity was unacceptable to Steve Jobs, who insisted on enhanced production quality. The original plastic used tended to develop an orange tint over time, due to the combined effects of UV light and heat. This prompted Steve to challenge Jerry Manock, the chief designer, to develop a more stable and high-quality beige. The chosen Pantone 453 color for the 1983 Macintosh 128k also faced its challenges. Yes it was designed to resist heat, but these machines are now often seen with a yellowed appearance. This yellowing is not due to heat but to UV light reacting with bromide flame retardants in the ABS plastic. FYI, it's possible to reverse this yellowing in these vintage machines using the 'Retrobrite' process, restoring them to their original Platinum glory See more. Seeing images of the original color I can conclude that Apple Beige is not yellowish Wilfredor (talk) 07:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nosferattus (talk) 01:06, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I understand the frustration here, but this is not a criterion, no? It reminds me a little bit of the famous macaque selfie, which led to a takedown notice sent to Wikimedia. Ultimately, the consensus was clear that if the free license (or in that case public domain status) was valid, then criterion #4 was fulfilled, regardless of the controversy.

Reason: The current FP was promoted about 16 years ago, and still is a good one.

Delist and Replace: Roundhay Garden Scene

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 5 Jul 2024 at 02:54:12 (UTC)

Roundhay Garden Scene (1888)

Proposed replacement

Reason: Roundhay Garden Scene is often known as the oldest surviving film. The currently featured version is very low resolution and has compression artifacts so prominent that the people's features get distorted. It's been superseded by an HD version from a documentary about the creator. The new version is losslessly encoded to preserve as much detail as possible in each of the 20 images.

Details from the man's face in the original (top) versus the proposed replacement (bottom)

Strongly disagree that there are details in the original lost in the replacement (see comparison). The features are far more legible and you can see two separate eyes instead of a horizontal bar.

The top and bottom rows here are actually offset from each other by 2. It turns out the original is missing 2 of the 20 images from Roundhay Garden Scene, which is a huge problem for its EV. hinnk (talk) 07:55, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Bank is a 1915 American comedy film, written and directed by Charlie Chaplin.

Proposed replacement

Reason: This file got removed from The Bank (1915 film) when I was uploading improved versions of Chaplin's short films. The newer copy has a higher resolution and shows more detail (try focusing in on the props or set design and you'll see a lot more of the texture, especially at source quality).

Proposed replacement

Reason: Opening this based on the discussion in the previous nomination.

Oppose — There isn't anything wrong with this picture. It's also not merely a lower-resolution copy of a file we now have a better copy of. While it's pretty much the same shot as the other, the conditions are different enough that the two pictures tell different stories. (They were also taken seven years apart.) They've both passed muster here and I think it's a false choice to have to pick one as being more legitimate than the other. Moonreach (talk) 14:54, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. It's not in use on the English Wikipedia; if it's still not in use at the end of the discussion period, this must surely default to a delist. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:18, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist: Female blackbird

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 26 Sep 2024 at 02:44:22 (UTC)

Reason: Currently unused. We have an FP of a male; ~~none of a female, though~~ and File:Common Blackbird (Turdus merula mauritanicus) female.jpg is featured at Commons [edit: and also here, thanks for catching that, Zzzs].

Delist – For some reason, the other female Turdus merula mauritanicus file wasn't tagged as a FP on its local page, so I did it myself. _ZZ^Z 'S 15:27, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist: Aurora over Víkurkirkja church

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 22 Oct 2024 at 18:26:29 (UTC)

Reason: This is a composite image, one photo cut and pasted in front of another photo. See the background photo Here. Clearly the church and mountain was shot separately and added to the aurora photo. It fails FP criterion #8, excessive manipulation. A delist nomination is ongoing at Commons too.

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 10 Nov 2024 at 14:34:15 (UTC)

Reason: Not used in any articles, probably would fail today's standards as a FP anyways. Article on subject was deleted via an AfD about a month ago for not meeting WP:BIO.
