Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Wrath of God

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Day of His Wrath, by John Martin (1789-1854).

This is a painting called The Great Day of His Wrath, by John Martin (1789-1854). I have used in anger article. A lower quality version was already available in The Great Day of His Wrath which I will probably nominate for deletion(because I found and uploaded a higher quality one). I believe it can be used elsewhere in wikipedia (such as God). I feel the picture is very grasping.

Comments:

  • While certainly an impressive picture, I'm afraid this picture would have no chance at FPC due to heavy artifacting (look closely at the dark region in the center). Also, as a general reference, I understand that the requirements say 1000 px on at least one side, but FPC has come to expect pictures that are quite a bit larger. For pictures that just barely meet this size requirement, extraordinary importance, quality, or appearance is generally needed for promotion. Thanks for submitting to picture peer review. --Malachirality (talk) 03:40, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your review Malachirality. I will not then submit it for FPC. Cheers, --Aminz (talk) 03:59, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Malachirality. See here for a FPC nom that failed for similar reasons. I completely agree that this is a marvelous painting; but there are flaws with this particular reproduction of it. Spikebrennan (talk) 16:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please do not arbitrarily remove entries from peer review without a good reason; there is simply no need to do so. After an allotted time, or after the page becomes too cluttered, old peer review entries will be moved to the archives. This way, there is a record of which pictures have been submitted to peer review before, and it also helps keep a record of what has been said about them.

Sorry. I am not familiar with the process. I archived it because I thought further review may not be necessary. --Aminz (talk) 06:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As long as you do archive an image nomination, it's fine to remove it yourself. Personally, I like to have them up to remind of what's been nominated lately, and Malachirality appears to feel the same, but you didn't do anything wrong. Enuja (talk) 00:45, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
