• Comment – This looks oversharpened and overprocessed. It's visually interesting but it looks unnatural to me, particularly the lighting (rendering) of the tree trunk and branches under the canopy. Bammesk (talk) 17:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose - Looking at the head, this image appears to be out of focus, and there appears to be some strange noise on the image. Weird for one of JJ's pictures.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:48, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm a little worried about the diagram being misleading since it depicts the speed of light as being larger for lower frequencies. Isn't that inaccurate? hinnk (talk) 02:57, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• It isn't misleading. It's accurate. The fact that higher frequencies travel through more cycles, in a given time span, does not mean (or imply) that they move slower. In air all frequencies are moving at the same speed. In the prism the higher frequencies are moving slightly slower, as they should (in this case 25% slower). Also the relations between frequencies, speeds and angles of deflection are proper. Bammesk (talk) 15:02, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Cool, I'll take your word for it. This was an issue in a previous version of the image (see c:File talk:Light dispersion conceptual waves.gif) so I'm glad it's been fully corrected in the current one. hinnk (talk) 23:23, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

Close-up detail of the faravahar, an important symbol in Zoroastrianism, as it appears on the Fire Temple of Yazd. I think the image is technically quite good, I like that this example has color (a lot of the other examples on the faravahar page are simply hewn from unadorned stone), and the mild shadows bring out the relief. Rated a Quality Image on Commons.

• Comment – Accessibility of complex information for general readers/viewers seems doubtful. – Sca (talk) 12:43, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The divisions of elves in Tolkien's works are a very complex matter. This diagram organizes practically all the knowledge in this area and presents it in the most accessible way possible. Agnaton (talk) 13:14, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose Per Sca - This certainly has value in the articles, but I can't imagine it as a FP on the main page... (FYI I've read LOTR five times, so I'm kind of a fan, but this is just too much...) --Janke | Talk 13:47, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm sorry you're against it, especially since many of the diagrams have FA status. Agnaton (talk) 13:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Question Has the colors used been tested to be optimal for persons with sight issues?★Trekker (talk) 23:01, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  No, but it is also perfectly understandable without colors if needed. Agnaton (talk) 17:33, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – It's too soon to nominate this image. The image was added to The article a few days ago. There is currently a discussion about the image on the article's talk page. The image should be renominated at a later time, after there is no longer a discussion about it, and once the image is stable in the article for 7+ days (per FP criterion #5), preferably longer in my opinion. Bammesk (talk) 15:31, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To the nominator, image use in non-English Wiki articles is not relevant. I suggest removing those entries from the list above, to declutter. Bammesk (talk) 15:35, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Agnaton (talk) 17:32, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion is not about my diagram per se. I started the discussion about current diagram used in Sundering of the Elves, that in my opinion have some errors, and provided my diagram as solution. Agnaton (talk) 17:30, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Older version of this diagram was used in Elves in Middle-earth for 5 years, from 2015 to 2020, and in Sundering of the Elves for almost 6 years, from 2015 to 2021. Agnaton (talk) 17:36, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
