Good addition to the Beaufort Gyre article, in the Dynamical mechanisms section. It shows the weekly change in the Arctic sea ice coverage. Younger ice accumulation (first-year ice) is shown in darker shades, while older ice (four-year or older) is shown in white.

• Comment – Unfortunetely this is too small. The Featured picture criteria says "images should be a minimum of 1500 pixels in width and height". In this case, however, an exception may be granted for historical reasons. —Bruce1ee^talk 12:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I think an exception is called for here. It's the deadliest North African WWII concentration camp, and this is the only photo of it. No trace remains of the camp nor of the nearby medieval cemetery where the prisoners buried their dead—so not even a photo of ruins can be taken to replace or supplement it. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 13:20, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak oppose - I'd be okay with giving this one a pass on resolution, since it's historical and exceeds 1500px on the long axis, but it's both low-contrast and kind of blurry up close. If there were a better copy of this image, I'd support it. Moonreach (talk) 14:21, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good EV for the pandemic (even if it has to compete with a lot of other good-EV pictures on both pages it's on). Aesthetically interesting, contextually illustrative (of the concept of social distancing), and historically important. I'm nominating it under "Other" for a category because it doesn't fit neatly into any of the others. "People" comes closest, since this is a human thing, but there aren't that many people in the focus area of the image, so I'm stumped. Moonreach (talk) 14:18, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – Interesting concept but poor execution. I really doubt the EV because this is a very wide aerial shot that very poorly depicts the social distancing. From this angle, it is nothing more than a courtyard with equally distant rectangles. The shadow on the lower half and the structures on the sides are distracting too. Regretful oppose but good concept. Any other angle resolving those points I raised have my support. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 16:39, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  There are two other pictures from the same set. I'd be happy to support either if other people think they have merit, but I don't think the composition of either one is quite as impactful. Moonreach (talk) 16:56, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The logic we usually use is that people advocating for change in laws, such as suffragettes, get filed under political. This is a little more subtle, as she's arguably advocating for societal change, but the movement culminated in Prohibition. She was also a religious leader of sorts.

• Comment. Charles, are you certain that this is Scolia hirta unifasciata? I know very little about scoliid wasps, but the fact that the antennae are bright yellow rather than black doesn't seem to match that species, and the two separate yellow spots on the abdomen (rather than a single yellow band, as the Latin name implies) gave me pause. There are over 900 photos labeled Scolia hirta on Flicker (including some of the subsp. unifasciata), and I scrolled quickly through all of them looking for a parallel. While I did find a some individuals in which the abdominal dots had not fully fused into solid band, I didn't find a single instance of yellow antennae. When I widened my search to other Mediterranean scoliids, however, I came across a number of photos of Megascolia bidens that seem to match your wasp exactly. The female of that species has four yellow abdominal spots and short reddish antennae, but the male has only two spots and long bright yellow antennae. Compare these photos: [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. All of these are identified as Megascolia bidens, and all of them seem to me to be a better fit for your wasp than Scolia hirta. I also found this paper, which confirms that M. bidens is found in Tunisia, where your photo was taken, and describes the distinguishing features of the species, including the yellow antennae and two abdominal spots on the male. I'm no expert, and I don't want to substitute my judgment for yours, but take a look at the photos and the paper and see what you think. Choliamb (talk) 21:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

Another in a series of photographs of photographers. There are a couple other options (e.g. File:Russell-Lee-FSA.jpg), but this one was by far the most widely used, and the one that looked the worst in the old version. I'd say the crop is fairly conservative: I didn't crop any of him (except maybe a few pixels at the bottom: edges aren't perfectly straight), but did take a smidgen more off the right to centre him, and cropped the weird... reflection? damage? intruding lights? at the top, which still has more than ample headspace.

• Yeah. There are some much sharper studio portraits from decades earlier, many of them seen here at FPC... Here, too, the focus seems to be in the wrong place. The eyes need to be in perfect focus, even if the Depth of field is shallow. --Janke | Talk 20:29, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Decades earlier was a very different camera technology. The increase in film speed was met with a decrease in focus for a while. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 00:37, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• True, but in both these photos I see a focusing error. A grainy photo can also be sharp. --Janke | Talk 09:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Honestly, I suspect there's somewhat of an issue in the 40s of them knowing what images were being used for. No need to get an amazing perfect focus in an image that's never going to be seen bigger than about 6" (15cm) tall at most, or is going to be halftone printed. 1910-1950 is kind of a nadir of photography, so I'd say the second, especially, is decent for the era.

• Since the original doesn't meet the size requirement, I found an alternative version of the image currently in Wings (1927 film)#Release and reception, a higher-resolution scan of a restored poster.

  Comment: I'm not withdrawing my vote for now, but at a closer glance it appears this illustration is neutral or even optimistic on Jewish immigration to the United States? It appears to depict the Jews gaining prosperity in the United States through "Perseverance and Industry" and acknowledging their persecution in the Russian Empire. If so, it might not be an educative illustration of antisemitic attitudes in the United States, or at the very least requires a more detailed caption in History of antisemitism in the United States. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 12:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  It also shows "our first families driven out." At most I would call this mixed, rather than neutral, and I think its place in the antisemitism article is warranted. Moonreach (talk) 13:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - The EV is in showing at what level computer animation was in 1986, nine years before Toy Story was released... --Janke | Talk 14:49, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  This is correct - it should be noted that this test film predates The Abyss, which is the first full film to feature CGI water. I think it's a good representation of not just the technology of CGI at the time, but also what experimental CGI productions were like in the late 80s to early 90s, typically being plotless and very short, intended less for a general audience and more for animators in the CGI industry. I also think it holds educational value specifically pertaining to Pixar in a vacuum as well as CGI, as AFAIK it, alongside Luxo Jr., was the first instance of the "What if *insert object or abstract concept here* had feelings?" concept that Pixar - and American CGI animation in general - has become known for.

The Wikipedia article says that it was exhibited in 1986, but the s:Copyright Act of 1976 says that "A public performance or display of a work does not of itself constitute publication." Though, the Copyright Office's Circular 45 says that exhibiting a film at a film festival may constitute publication if "copies [are] made and [are] ready for distribution." prospectprospekt (talk) 15:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's no mention of Beach Chair or Flags and Waves in either the description of the contents or the copyright notices, take from that what you will. hinnk (talk) 05:08, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I looked up the Liquid Television episode featuring Beach Chair, and there is no copyright notice for it in the credits - it is listed as being distributed by "Expanded Entertainment". The fact the film had a distributor basically confirms it's copyrighted, so I will remove the file and repeal the entry. RockosModernLifeFan848 (talk) 09:22, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment — I'm uneasy about the argument that this is PD, especially considering the discussion above. It seems likely that Pixar still considers "Beach Chair" copyrighted, and the only way to find out definitively would be a lawsuit. I don't think this is worth it. Moonreach (talk) 17:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not seeing a registration here. Pixar does have registrations for Luxo Jr. and Red's Dream. The question is if the short was published in the 80s, though. A test reel sounds like something kept internal. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:03, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

We now have copies of most of Alfred Hitchcock's silent films, and this one I think stands out among them. It's Hitchcock's first film to develop the "Hitchcockian" style we know today, and the article touches on a bunch of those elements and motifs. The restoration is a big improvement over previous releases, with better reproduction of the color scheme that Gainsborough Pictures used in the UK release (the opening scene is a good example, where instead of blue tinting it restores the amber tinting and blue toning used to look like street lighting at night).

It is high-resolution (2,200 × 2,835 px), and captures Abraham Lincoln's likeness better than any other portrait. The Wikipedia caption of the image says "Lincoln’s character was notoriously difficult to capture in pictures, but Alexander Gardner’s close-up portrait, quite innovative in contrast to the typical full-length portrait style, comes closest to preserving the expressive contours of Lincoln’s face and his penetrating gaze."

  hey, I was offline for a ~week, and had no chance to response. the photo was switched during the nomination with a larger version File:HL-10 on Lakebed with B-52 flyby - GPN-2000-000201.jpg. though it is indeed larger, its quality is worse, and it's full of jpeg artifacts.

• Hi Armbrust, it might be good to revisit the timeline of this nomination and reconsider it's closure. The image was switched Here after the nom had 6 supports and zero opposition. There was consensus for it becoming FP prior to it being replaced in the article. The image was replaced with a technically subpar image and the replacement went unnoticed. If the closure was delayed a few days and the nominator had been notified, the nominator would have caught up with it (as they did on August 2nd [11]). If it's possible, you may want to reconsider the closure. Cheers. Bammesk (talk) 16:04, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Question The wall on the right is strange. I guess it is like this in all prints that you've found. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:20, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Charlesjsharp: That's the edge of a, like, column or pillar? It's definitely a real object. You can see it better in a different image (sadly unavailable at a decent size) from the photographic session - I'm going to call that the "NYPL" image, for convenience. We could crop it: some of the publication uses crop or edit it out - [12] for example, which is the thumbnail for [13] is a half-tone print that crops rather harshly on the right. Likewise, there's a very harsh crop at [14], [15] - which I'd guess are photogravures or something else that degrades the image, because they're definitely worse quality than the photographic print I restored. I think they're the same image, but given I can barely tell the NYPL is different (look at the thumb and lack of wool on the table), I don't want to discount there being a third image that they were based on. Other copies like the Emily Dickenson Museum one appear to be a copy of the half-tone print from the LOC.

  There may (have been?) other images in that session. I think it's a drawing, but [16] looks a lot like the images from this session, but with a hand pose that blocks her face. It's definitely a drawing in File:Helen Hunt Jackson (The Magazine of Poetry and Literary Review, 1893).png and [17]. If that is based on a photo - and I can't see why you'd move the hand to block view of the face - the hand position likely blocks it from consideration, quirky though it may be. Meanwhile [18] - while composited - may indicate the existence of a standing photo of her. Possibly the same as this, but I'm starting to lose track of all these images.[19] has some thumbnails, including a few of a very young Jackson. All very small.

  We're nearing the end. Abandoning Conly to see what's out there, we can immediately abandon the goblin-faced terrible artwork in "A Short History of England's and America's Literature". There's another mediocre sketch on the Library of Congress.

  Finally, there's this from the Huntington, probably the best of the non-Conly photos that's available at a decent size. [20] is similar. This book has a lovely image of her, but I don't know where they got it from.

  Hope this helps! Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 00:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Just to note, [21] does have the book cover image; probably cropped. Tineye indicates it was on JSTOR at some point? Honestly, if somone has the book, it'd probably be easier to check the photograph credit. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 01:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do think it looks almost more like black - well the term's setae, but let's call it fur for ease of understanding - on their abdomen. Which is bad, but I think it's also forgivable. Support.

  Those dark areas are shadows, not black fur. This can cause a misconception if you're not familiar with the insect, so it lessens the EV. (You can also see the sharp shadows of the wing edges.) --Janke | Talk 07:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Support – Notable photo. Ok quality for an innovative photo in 1957. The file size 731 KB is small, but I doubt a larger file size would make any difference in this case. Bammesk (talk) 13:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
