OriginalCarlo Acutis (1991-2006) was an English-born Italian Catholic website designer who documented Eucharistic miracles and approved Marian apparitions. Acutis was beatified by Pope Francis on 10 October 2020. Currently, he is on track to become the first canonized millennial in the Catholic church.
Reason
Recent news of Pope Francis' plans on canonizing Carlo Acutis had me checking his Wikipedia page. And I thought this could this picture is a good presentation of the first millennial saint, especially with it being good EV for its article its apart of.

  • I agree with Sca that the article needs work for this to be featureable. Judith at the Banquet of Holofernes acknowledges other identifications and adds "Today it is considered to be Judith at the banquet of Holofernes." But it does not indicate what "Today" means, and the citation is just "museum website." Furthermore, the painting is still in a gallery at Sophonisba, with no source. If there is an ongoing controversy, the article should document it; if not, the two articles shouldn't contradict each other. This could definitely be featured if these issues can be resolved. blameless 15:56, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Artist Gustave Doré, c. 1867
Reason
A fine photograph of the artist, by Nadar, a famous photographer. Conveniently close in time (within a year or two) to what I'd say were his most famous works: his Bible and Dante's Inferno illustrations, which does put this in fairly early photography, but... it's a good one. Bottom isn't quite straight, but, well... I mean, I can digitally fix that, but don't think I should. It's honestly surprisingly common in prints and engravings for them not to be quite square, and it's never clear why; honestly, it's probably just that it's not that noticable if you don't surround it with a true rectangle.

OriginalThe Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a 1920 German silent horror film directed by Robert Wiene. It tells the story of an insane hypnotist (Werner Krauss) who uses a brainwashed somnambulist (Conrad Veidt) to commit murders. Considered the quintessential work of German Expressionist cinema, the film is known for its dark, twisted visual style.
Reason
One of the canonic works of silent cinema. It's best known for its bold, fantastic mise-en-scène which has made it the enduring image of German expressionist cinema. Due to a configuration issue, it hasn't been possible for us to host a high-quality copy on English Wikipedia, but thanks to a recent upgrade we now have a great transfer of it.

Original – The Xenia, Ohio, F5 tornado of April 3, 1974
Reason
Extremely high EV (one of the most well-known tornado photographs in history). It does not pass the basic criteria for high technical standards nor high resolution. However, given what the event was and how famous the photograph is, the exception clauses can be played, given the EV. As an EV note, a reverse image search on TinEye showed 224 hits, one of which is the Associated Press, who used it in an anniversary video/article back in April 2024. EV is why I believe this should be a featured picture. An additional note, one of the articles (1974 Super Outbreak) has been an "On this day" article three times.

  • Support as nominatorThe Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 05:47, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - for several reasons. Did you at all check the Featured Pictures Criteria? Does not pass #1, 2, and 3. (On the intro on the FPC page you can find the link.) --Janke | Talk 09:39, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Support: WeatherWriter did check the criteria, they even mentioned that the nominated photograph does not fulfill the recommended criteria in their reasoning. In addition, the criteria states that exceptions to recommended FP rules can be made on a case-by-case basis. Considering the wide usage of the image, its notability, its educational value, and its uniqueness, I believe that the image deserves the FP recognition. ―Howard🌽33 11:20, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Janke: Yes, I did read the Featured picture criteria prior to nominating. I actually noted that it did not pass point 1 and 2 in the nomination (noting, it does pass point 3, even though you say it doesn’t). If you actually read the criteria, specific point 1 and 2, “Exceptions to this rule may be made…”. For point 1, they can be made “…for historical or otherwise unique images. If it is considered impossible to find a technically superior image of a given subject, lower quality may sometimes be allowed.” and for point 2, they can be made “where justified on a case-by-case basis, such as for historical, technically difficult or otherwise unique images, if no higher resolution could realistically be acquired. This should be explained in the nomination so that it can be taken into consideration.” My reasoning for point one was explained fairly clearly in the nomination, given it is used by news sources all across the globe and all throughout the last few decades. Also, it is obvious that it is “impossible” to get higher quality image of that tornado, given it occurred over 50 years ago and only occurred for 39 minutes. With all that said, would you feel like changing your !vote to either support on grounds of the exceptions or at the very least, change it from “did you read the criteria” to some other reason to oppose. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:41, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I must admit I did not read your description well enough. My quick oppose was a gut reaction to the egregious quality of the image. It is probably a scan from a printed, rasterized image (the "removed squares" edit suggests that). BTW: One of the uploads is in color, no explanation? PS: Found a larger, sharper version (watermarked) with an image search, so there must be a better version somewhere... --Janke | Talk 12:55, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The colored image is edited and not the original. If you found an exact larger version, then please link it. Chances are, if you found a "better version", it is not free to use whatsoever. This happens to be a public domain image of the tornado, the only one I am aware of that is free-to-use, hence why every media outlet uses it.
