Comment Baby baboon on back.jpg Is already promoted. I know the author is a very good photographer!--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 18:09, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This other one is a baby, this one is a much older juvenile, that's why I nominated it, but can go to MVR if everyone agrees. Charles (talk) 11:22, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Is there a way to more clearly differentiate the scopes of the different photos? The other one was promoted in the scope "Papio anubis (Olive baboon) carrying young on its back", which is the same scope as this one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:29, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- No idea. I would like to change the existing one from young to baby, but don't know how to do that. Charles (talk)
- Comment - Yes, this is clearly a better photo, but why can't we distinguish the scopes, given that in this case, it's a juvenile on its mother's back, whereas in the other one, it's a baby? I think both photos are clearly useful and distinct in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:57, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - My reading of that leads me to the opposite conclusion. Substitute "baby" and "juvenile" in this sentence: "If male and female of the same species can be distinguished from each other from a picture, then a "male" scope and a "female" scope can be proposed for the same species." -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:08, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Question - Does anyone else have an opinion, or will this just remain unchanged? There's agreement that this is the better of the two photos, but there's disagreement about whether to have a distinct scope for an infant vs. a juvenile. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:19, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The MVR rules accepts an MVR for two or more images that have "essentially the same scope", not "exactly ...". This tells me that the appropriate scope for the image which becomes a VI, should be the scope attached to it when it was nominated - in this case, the wording wth the word "juvenile".

- Thanks for explaining, but I can't agree with you that scopes should be set in stone. That actually strikes me as inflexible for the sake of inflexibility. Suppose someone successfully nominated a photo for best of scope in Category:Chicken, and then another person decided to nominate a rooster and a chick? Should they be stuck not being able to have successful nominees because the original nominee, which was a hen, won in the broader scope of chicken? Why not, in that case, move the first VI to Category:Hen? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:43, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
