NGC 6530
FP category for this image
Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Space/Looking out
Creator
NASA
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]

OriginalLi Fu Lee at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's radio experiment station in 1925
Reason
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. There's a newspaper article that uses this image, so it's kind of a key image of her.
Do note that I need new glasses, so - although I went over some of the key parts six times - if you spot anything I missed, let me know. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 21:59, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OriginalW. H. Kendal and Madge Kendal in the première production of W.S. Gilbert's The Palace of Truth
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.

Original – Illustration of a 1904 charity performance of W. S. Gilbert's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, as prepared for publication in the The Illustrated London News
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).

Original – Opening scene of The Geisha, in a poster for a 1906 production.
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).

  • Like Adam, I prefer the uncropped version. I could live with MyCat's compromise crop, but I can't support the head shot. Any crop that cuts out the copy of Finck's Grieg and His Music that Grainger is holding in this portrait is, for me at least, a non-starter.

Original – Frontispiece of Leviathan by Abraham Bosse, with input from Hobbes

Original – Illustration to William Brough's A Peculiar Family (1865), for the Royal Gallery of Illustration.
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.

    Still orange-tagged re sources. And 3,300 words isn't what one might call succinct. -- Sca (talk) 12:19, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Short of having an Estonian speaker, I don't see referencing reaching a point where the orange tag can be safely removed. As for the length, 3,300 words is about par for 150 years of history, especially for a company that has been deemed culturally and historically significant (for comparison, the current TFA is 7,700 words). The POTD Coordinator will certainly have to be careful with the blurb down the line, assuming this passes. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:40, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason
Co-nomination with Adam Cuerden - After nominating his headshot a few days ago, it was agreed that the original should be restored to incorporate the rest of his body. Adam worked with me to get this back here.

I agree that the photo is not ideal, but it's the best photo of the spacecraft that exists and is in public domain, and it's very unlikely that Smithsonian or anybody else will create another studio photography of better quality. The photo is still very good in my (unprofessional) opinion, and it has an encyclopedic value. Artem.G (talk) 06:48, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think I'd rather have out-of-studio good quality than in-studio and mediocre, though it depends where on display it is. 11:03, 29 April 2023 (UTC) Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 11:03, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OriginalTombstone, Arizona in May 1940, looking north up 5th street.
Reason
The "quiet" period of Tombstone, between the end of being the county seat and the start of the tourism shows a lot of features no longer there. This is a lovely image for Tombstone's history.
