Can you nominate your own image?

[edit]

Can you nominate your own image? TheNuggeteer (talk) 02:15, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheNuggeteer: Yes, you can nominate your own images. However, they must be under a comparable license. For more info, see WP:FP?. ZZZ'S 02:20, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two Gibson's albatrosses

[edit]

Hello all

We appear to have two FPs for the Gibson's albatross in flight – File:Gibson's Albatross 0A2A4153.jpg and File:Gibson's Albatross 0A2A8124.jpg. They look slightly different to me too, although I'm no expert... Could they be male and female? No idea. The former one is no longer used in the article... Please advise on what should happen here?  — Amakuru (talk) 10:02, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When I nominated the second FP, I didn't notice (forgot) the first FP. I think we should delist one of them. I don't have a preference and would support delisting either one. Pinging the other nominator @MER-C:. One image shows more of the feathers, the other is in the infobox, so it's a tie as far as I am concerned. Bammesk (talk) 15:04, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They're still both used in at least one article. Doing nothing is acceptable. MER-C 16:42, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine with me. Bammesk (talk) 17:17, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, not sure whether to raise this on the English Wikipedia or Commons. Anyway

If there was no crack and no cropping of the cathedral then the answer would be C. Alternatively if there was originally no cropping of the cathedral then the answer would be B. Any clues as to what should be done?

P.S. Zoom in on the pictures, there is a lot of fascinating detail. Alex Sims (talk) 12:26, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Alex Sims, the best version is This. It needs restoration. The crack can be removed, and the borders should be removed. Then we can do a "delist and replace" nomination. That's the norm in situations like this. Bammesk (talk) 03:52, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Removing the crack I think is beyond me. I can see the crack is clean and somehow the irregular shaped piece needs to be moved a bit closer to close the crack. Where can I appeal for someone with more skills and expertise to make this repair? Alex Sims (talk) 02:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Editors at Commons:Help desk or at WP:GL/PHOTO might be willing to do it. Some editors at WP:FPC can do it too (including me), and they visit this talk page occasionally. I am not inclined to restore this image myself. Generally I don't do restorations by request. FYI, sometimes restorations can be daunting and time consuming chores.

What is "EV"?

[edit]

I've seen some people talking about "EV". What is it? Mittzy (talk) 23:42, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This should answer your question. ZZZ'S 23:49, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An FP has been nominated for deletion on the Commons

[edit]

A photograph (File:Lincoln, NE EF3 tornado.jpg) has been nominated for deletion on the Wikimedia Commons. I am not sure what the procedure is, so I am mentioning it here. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 20:44, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
