The following discussion is an archived record of a request for comment. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Responding to an ANRFC request, I find that there is no consensus. Editors express concerns with all of the images present: some opine that image 5 is "grainy" and has an "abysmal resolution"; others object that image 3 is backlit, outdated, and unflattering, while still others criticize image 7's background or image 6's shadow. (Other images gained little or no support at all.) As a closer, I can find no policy basis to favor or discount any of these arguments: the selection of a lead image is fundamentally a question of aesthetic opinion on which reasonable minds can and do disagree. Given the numerical deadlock between images 5 and 3, as well as the lack of majority support for any option, I cannot divine a consensus from this discussion, and the status quo should thus hold.If there is a desire to litigate this matter further, the following observations may prove helpful. First, the large number of suggestions prevented consensus from coalescing around any particular image. If this matter is to be discussed again in the future, it would be prudent to prevent the presentation of a ponderous proliferation of pictures. Second, the participants seem to share a general antipathy toward all of the images discussed: HAL333's comment that "none of these are great" is typical. If another, higher-quality image can be obtained (perhaps some sort of official photograph), it would be more likely to gain consensus.I note for the record that I discounted a comment supporting "Option 4 or 5, even though they're a bit off, because so is he", for obvious reasons.

Option Five, the current one, where he's smiling. He has an odd look in most of the others. Ann Teak (talk)
Option 3 strikes a middle ground between his smiling and frowning facial expressions in the other images. I think this is the most neutral facial expression, and therefore the best option. (Option 1 would be my second choice.) ––FormalDudetalk01:48, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Option 3: I think that the current image looks grainy and weird from my screen (Likely due to the low resolution), option 1 and 4 seems way to zoomed out, and the expressions in 2 and 6 seems a bit weird Justiyaya08:37, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Option 3. While his facial expression looks a bit more normal in 5, 5 is really grainy and low def (if there was a higher definition version of 5 I would prefer it the most). 2 is just a bit odd, and you can't really see his face that well behind the shadow in 6. 3 is just the least-worst option.Option 7 was just added, I like this one the most actually. Not sure how well this RfC will work as images have trickled in after people have !voted. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 07:34, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
3 or 5 as decent close-up images of his face; 1 is tilted, 2 is a weird facial expression and 6 is too much in shadow. -sche (talk) 19:35, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Option 6. This photo appears to be a recent photo and also is a higher resolution than the other photos. Though the shadow on the picture is not ideal, it appears to be the best of the suggested options. Jurisdicta (talk) 05:50, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Option 5 as first choice, option 7 as second choice. Oppose 1 and 3 because he looks too pose-y and is looking somewhere else, oppose 2 cause of the saturation, oppose 4 cause of the zoom (too far away), and oppose 6 cause of the zoom (too close up). Option 5 and 7 both seem the most normal, but slightly prefer 5 because of the background (curtains instead of the subway). Some1 (talk) 00:10, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Option 3. He's smiling, good portrait, it's a quality photo and high resolution. Option 4/5 is abysmal resolution, and the smile is a bit over the top for a portrait. Option 2 is atrocious, but fortunately it has no votes anyway. Alsee (talk) 01:09, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Option 7 or 3 - Unlike Option 5 (the current image) this photo is more recent, of a higher camera quality, and is cropped in the same way as other lead images for articles about politicians. Also, he's still smiling in this photo too. Three is my second choice because its of a higher quality and he has a neutral expression on his face. BlueShirtz (talk) 00:32, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Option 3 This appears to be the best one. It's relatively good quality and straight on and he is making a neutral expression. I noticed 5 is the most popular, and I'm surprised since how bad quality it is. I think option 6 would be my 2nd option, it's just not as straight on as option 3.

The current wording is fine: "On October 28, 2021, a spokesman for the state court system announced that Cuomo would be charged with misdemeanor "Sex Crime" in the Albany City Court." While there is always room for improvement, I don't see why this should promote an edit war. TFD (talk) 23:34, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am not a native English speaking editor, but the sentence "At the time of his resignation, he was the longest-tenured governor in the United States" made me thinking what it really mean, so I decided to reword it better. However I do not have a source for the date I used for the beginning date (January 7, 2019), it is my own research, but there was no source before my edit either. I found that before him Butch Otter had this record, who served continuously from January 1, 2007. So please double check it! Thanks! JSoos (talk) 19:16, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mateodepalacios: I understand, it is much easier to delete a relevant statement with error, than correct it. So I was wrong, before him it was not Otter but Gary Herbert, so the beginning date is 4 January 2021. Still I can not put reference, only the snapshot of the list of current governors article proves it (Ordered Inauguration column shows it):

On October 28, 2021, a spokesman for the state court system announced that Cuomo would be charged with a misdemeanor sex crime in the Albany City Court.[1]
On October 28, 2021, a spokesman for the state court system announced that Cuomo would be charged with a misdemeanor sex crime in the Albany City Court.[2] The office of Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple would file a criminal complaint against Cuomo related to Brittany Commisso’s groping allegation.[3] However, on January 4, 2022, Albany County District Attorney David Soares declined to prosecute Cuomo and asked a judge to dismiss the complaint, stating that "While we found the complainant in this case cooperative and credible, after review of all the available evidence, we have concluded that we cannot meet our burden at trial.”[4] Soares also stated that his office considered other potential criminal charges, but none fit the allegations.[4]2601:447:4000:220:1959:7952:E4E3:A8B3 (talk) 22:31, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
