• comment Very high on false colours and not a very good illustration of what NGC 6530 is. What are we trying to show here?©Geni (talk) 23:58, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The NGC 6530 is within a nebula (i.e. a cloud of gas, dust and other materials). The infobox image [1] captures the visible spectrum and it does a poor job of showing the gasses and clouds. The nom image is in the infrared spectrum [2] and shows the cloudy and gaseous nature of the NGC 6530 region (albeit a small part of it). I wouldn't call it false colors because imaging the non-visible spectrum is just as important as the visible spectrum. Bammesk (talk) 14:20, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NGCs are visual spectrum. Indeed with one exception they were all human eye discoveries rather than photographic. Meanwhile the link you provided doesn't even going as far as saying the thing is IR (the closest it gets is saying that the WFC3 can view near IR). This isn't covered in the article so it faces EV issues.©Geni (talk) 19:47, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, it doesn't say infrared, it says near-infrared. As far as your point about the EV, the nom image shows the gas and clouds vividly which is relevant to the star forming nature of this region. Bammesk (talk) 01:16, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – Visual content not readily intelligible to most English-speaking readers/viewers. The pic's only usage is on Arabic Wikipedia. – Sca (talk) 12:56, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The language concern strikes me as inappropriate. We have a history of promoting non-English texts, such as File:1581 Bunting clover leaf map.jpg, File:Poster by Anna Soós Korànyi for the Seventh Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance.jpg, File:Sesshu - Haboku-Sansui - complete.jpg, and File:Tugra Mahmuds II.gif.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:02, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Support, but with caveat - do we know if the skew of the text is in the manuscript or is it due to an issue with the scan?  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:57, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Look at the file page, there's an uncropped scan there... --Janke | Talk 13:32, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The skew is in the manuscript. If it was in the scan, then the skew would've been equally present in the bleed through of lines on the opposite side of the paper. Bammesk (talk) 00:52, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Support as nominator – UnpetitproleX (talk) 22:43, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose for now. Great quality image, but it is currently only used in a gallery near the bottom of the page. Do we have images of the other three gates in Pritam Niwas Chowk? They could be used as a set in the discussion of that part of the palace.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:32, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Unfortunately, this is the only good quality image of any of the gates I could find at the galleries in Commons:Category:Pitam Niwas Chowk (City Palace, Jaipur) when I nominated the image at Commons:FP. A set of all four gates is a great idea, but currently not possible. UnpetitproleX (talk) 20:37, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Support – MA Javadi (talk) 14:30, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – nice photo, but the article says very little about this gate. If there was say a paragraph in the article that described this gate or added some context, then the photo would have a stronger encyclopedic value in the article. Bammesk (talk) 14:37, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Bammesk: Added it to the relevant section and expanded caption UnpetitproleX (talk) 01:24, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  It's a nice image and well done photo. I am neutral on voting. It still seems like a small feature within the article, just my opinion. Bammesk (talk) 02:47, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Elena Grimaldi doesn't appear to have been to prominent in her house, based on the fact that she's only listed because of the painting, and both ruff and umbrella have much better examples in the articles.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:34, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose – per Chris, weak EV. Bammesk (talk) 13:54, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Part of my Women in Red work (and my first nomination this year, wow.). Li Fu Lee was a bit of a sensation back in the 1920s for being a Chinese woman who came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with her husband and then decided to get her degree in Electrical Engineering.

Reason

It's not a perfect composition, but, for the time (1870), I think it did a very good job. The Kendals were two of Gilbert's favourite actors, so they appeared in a lot of early Gilbert works, as such, they can't all appear in the Kendals' articles. actually, this is way better quality than the one that was in them. But this adds a lot to the article by showing them, reenacting a scene from the opera, in costume.

Reason

Now that I've actually done some things this year - c.f. the three nominations currently up, although admittedly the Kendals had a big chunk done last year - Let's have a look at some things that probably should have passed already. This is a second nomination (See: Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern), but the first was during a particularly quiet period that we've moved past. This isn't from the first production, but it is one that not only was directed by Gilbert (the author), but one that included him acting, so it it at least captures the artistic vision of the author.

As an aside, I think it does an excellent job at showing how images were prepared for woodblock engravings: Most of them had a lot of middle-shadow with some darker and lighter bits that more care is put into. This really shows how the careful are of the woodblock was planned for - if I can get the published version, this is going right up there in woodblock engraving alongside it, but for now, let's judge it for the play.

And it does a great job illustrating the play. Key scenes, key characters, gets a lot of the feel of the work across in a way that I don't think any other known illustration does. And I've studied Gilbert. Absolutely stable in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (play), despite a series of March edits, which means it's stable for six months. Perhaps not as meaningful as on some articles, but it's also stable in Hamlet, so that's saying something. FP on Commons, for what that's worth.

Articles in which this image appears

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (play), Hamlet (in the section on derivative works; again, quite stable), and also in the articles for two performers: Madeleine Lucette Ryley and Nathaniel Newnham-Davis (journalist).

• Support There's maybe a few minor things left, but they're all well below film grain size. Only thing at all odd is that fingerprint-like mark at the bottom right of the shadow on her neck, which might be an artifact of historical (e.g. contemporaneous to the image) retouching. I'd leave it, though: It could also just be her clavicle. More relevantly, there's light spots around where you moved the photographer's stamp (which isn't required, but also isn't forbidden). May be worth some tweaks there. It's worth uploading a PNG version as well, since JPEGs are a lossy format so repeated saving of JPEG images can cause degredation.

Reason

Given my other nominations are passing, time for this one to come back. Featured picture on Commons, for what that's worth. Now, the first nomination pointed out that it's not from the first production, which is true. However, it's early enough to still be in the performing tradition of the first production (I know that, at least with Gilbert and Sullivan, it was required to use the exact prompt books provided up until they left copyright; I'm not sure this was quite as strict, but...) Also, there are multiple ways for an image to add value: This one is a great illustration of the opening number, and . It also gives a good feel of a production, since it shows more of the setting and scene, and I'm not sure the original posters did that. While it's a major work in the development of musical theatre, it's unlikely a traditional production with a high budget will happen again (the "selling off the geisha" plotline is going to feel kind of awkward nowadays to just casually throw in).

  Aye. It's an interesting cultural relic, but it feels like the orientalism go well beyond things like The Mikado or The Good Person of Szechwan, or even most adaptations of Aladdin, probably because late-Victorian musical theatre so actively encouraged such a flippant use of the setting.

The intent with this is fantastic, though it's very, very grainy at full size. On the other hand, it's very large.

  I'd say that's not a problem; we've promoted plenty of obscure things. I think the big problem is that there's no caption in the article. When multiple things exist in an image, it's rather important for the article to be clear on which one is the subject. File:Quartz-Tetrahedrite-denv08-50b.jpg may be clearer for this.

  I added a caption in the article. The mimetite is micro (i.e. small) and seems to be distributed. The color of each mineral is listed in its corresponding article's infobox: [5][6][7]. As far as "multiple things exist", and User:Geni's concern below, the article says "pure endmembers of the series are seldom if ever seen in nature", so that's a feature of this mineral, not a defect or bug. Bammesk (talk) 02:43, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Leviathan is one of the most famous and significant books of western political thought. Its frontispiece is surely the most famous book cover of western political thought. I'll only speak for the UK, but I'd expect anyone with a degree in politics or philosophy (along with plenty of people who studied history, law, or similar) to have at least a passing familiarity with it. Anyone with an interest in the history of political thought will (or should) have some interest in the book, and that's far more than just a few academics.

Reason

The play itself is... obscure. It does exist, and it probably just about meets GNG since there's newspaper reviews.

However, this is the only illustration of William Brough's plays we have, and also part of a highly notable theatrical troupe's early days. I think it's great for that reason, even if the play is obscure.

• Support – I see that one reviewer described it as a burletta (i.e., a comic opera), but The Musical Times (April 1, 1865, p. 29) was not impressed by its musical qualities: "A Peculiar Family, although cleverly written, and acted ... with more real intelligence than we often see at the regular theatres, has so little claim on our notice in a strictly musical point of view, that we content ourselves with merely recording its success." Ouch. Still, the image gets a support from me. I wish the text were online, because I really want to know what the significance of the china plate is, and what the suspicious German soldier is writing down in his little notebook. Choliamb (talk) 12:21, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I believe the music was by Thomas German Reed, as most of Brough's works had music arranged or written by German Reed. He's honesly not a terrible composer; We did A Sensation Novel a bit before COVID, and - while we had a score by a modern composer (Mike Nash), we had a listen to the extant Reed pieces. They're a mixed bag, though:

  • "No father's care" is sentimental smaltz, but pretty good sentimental smaltz.
  • "Oh Agony, and O despair" is pretty decent
  • The Detective's Song is good - but not good enough for six verses without variation!
  • the Jewel Song was actually really good (and we used it instead of the Nash setting; we also used O agony, but Nash never set that one as he knew O agony existed, but the rest were discovered after he set them).

  However, given those survived by being published, it's quite possible that those are the best of the opera's songs, so A Peculiar Family might well be a middling score with a few highlights. It's also possible at least a few of the songs exist, as I don't think anyone's been looking for them (A Sensation Novel's songs were literally right there in the V&A archives, though I don't think they were indexed as Sensation Novel songs, even if the opera's name was in small print on the cover), and it wasn't unheard of for songs to get new lyrics added for publication to make them more generic for a general audience.

  Shame about the 1861 date on "I Never Does Nothing at All". If it were later I could easily persuade myself that it was sung by the maid holding the plate in the scene from A Peculiar Family.

• Comment - Per metadata, the photographer is Eric Long for the Smithsonian. I agree that the noise is less than ideal for a studio environment (which this appears to be, based on the clean cut and lack of other displays' reflections in the solar panels). I can see the argument for 2015 and 8,400 × 6,000 pixels, but at the same time... it is a studio environment and thus ISO shouldn't be increased.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:29, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
