  • 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]

Original – The faravahar, a Zoroastrian symbol, as it appears on the facade of the Fire Temple of Yazd.
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 – I'm torn on this. I think this is an important event and the photo captures the important aspects of it, but the framing is off-center and the focus was made on Obama, so the women behind him are slightly blurry. Is there any chance this is one from a set of images taken by White House press? Perhaps there are others we could choose from. Moonreach (talk) 20:45, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a delisted featured image because the original scan a while ago was low quality. However, there is a way higher quality image in it's place now. Anyway, the poster is historically significant and very famous

Original – A pixel art image of a stylized wizard, showing the limitations of the medium and some techniques for working within them.
Reason
I think this is a good exemplar of many of the aspects of pixel art: A limited color palette, the use of complementary colors to create the illusion of a gradient, places where emphasis is placed on individual pixels (such as highlights and the border) and places where a blended effect is desired (the beard and the tones of the face). The one thing it doesn't have that I wish it did is dithering in the gradient areas, but that's not a mandatory aspect of the medium.

  • I wasn't aware of the other two maps. One of them is older, it dates to 1918. The settlement regime ended around 1942. The nominated map dates to approximately 1935 (per the map itself, although it's a 1945 print), so the nom map is the most recent of the three. I like the bilingual annotations on This map, but the problem I see is that its legends are in Chinese only (not readily legible in an en-Wiki article). Also the nom map is in the article since 2012, whereas the other two maps aren't. Bammesk (talk) 00:59, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Stability is a fair point, though given that the two I linked above were uploaded this year (though other versions saved at higher compression are older) it's to be expected. Hmmm... given the dynamic construction of Shanghai in the early 20th century, the seventeen years between the 1918 map and the 1935 map nominated here could be significant.

Original – A Currier & Ives color lithograph depicting the Great Chicago Fire of 1871
Reason
I saw this pop up in On This Day for Oct. 8 and think it's pretty good. This is a crop from this version, and I think an improvement, since the color plates didn't line up cleanly with the printed border. There's good detail in close up; what irregularities there are are aspects of the original print (that is, overprinting with successive color layers that often have hard edges). There is some mild browning on the paper itself, but the sepia tint to the bottom area is its own printed color, as is clear on the uncut version.

Original – The explosion following the plane impact into the South Tower (WTC2) during the September 11 Attacks.
Reason
A high quality picture for 2001 (along with being one of the highest quality 9/11 pics on Wikipedia), which shows the explosion impact of the South Tower in great detail. I feel like this picture really shows a historical moment, in which many people realized that 9/11 was a terrorist attack and not just a result of an accidental plane crash. It shows everything from the blast to the smoke to the towers in good detail

Original – A dust storm (or simoom) approaching Phoenix, Arizona in 2011.
Reason
Majestic shot of a weather event (its usage on the Phoenix, AZ page describes it as a simoom; the file name just calls it a dust storm) over a populated area. The one notable flaw I see is that the white section of sky on the right-hand side of the storm is fully blown out. I'll argue that that's acceptable because it's outside the area of interest, but I understand if that's a sticking point for others.

  • Fair enough. As I said above, I disagree with indiscriminately converting each and every B&W photo to grayscale. You can see some of my thoughts Here. I think distinctions can be made for notable photos, photos by notable photographers, artistic photos, strictly historic photos, versus the more ordinary B&W photos, also distinctions can be made for prints and positive transparencies (i.e. fully processed works), versus negative films (i.e. not fully processed works). I think we can make grayscale (or other tonal) judgments on a case by case basis, and vote accordingly. Bammesk (talk) 00:01, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have mixed feelings. I do still like the current version and support it, but I feel like it would have been better to present the edits, particularly the switch to grayscale, as alts. If doing so is still an option, I would suggest running the first version that was nominated (21:06, 5 October 2024) against the current version (16:10, 13 October 2024) as an alt and ping everybody to choose between them. I don't think we all saw the same thing when we voted, and therefore it would be misleading to say the current image has a consensus of support. Moonreach (talk) 19:22, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I think the description needs to note this is scanned from a Cole Weston print - in art photography my understanding is that the making of the print is part of the process (especially when it involves manual dodging and burning, as in this case), and Edward Weston also made prints of this negative before authorising his son Cole to make further prints. I'm also a little confused about the sourcing - the image page gives three URLs, which as far as I can see are for different prints of the image (thought all by Cole Weston), and isn't clear which one is actually the image uploaded.

    Honestly, I don't really like it as an image, either. I can't tell what I'm looking at; were this an image intended to illustrate the camera, rather than a piece of art in its own right, I would call it downright bad. That's just my personal taste, which of course isn't a criterion, but it does make me less willing to overlook technical shortcomings, which are. Moonreach (talk) 17:21, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'm seeing a light patch on the left side of the image that is likely not in the original print. I agree that the technical quality is lacking; Christie's gives high resolution scans, but they save them at a high compression ratio, resulting in JPG artefacting (for example, I think File:Huang Shaoqiang - Farewell.jpg is an excellent example of the artist's work, but there are a few compression issues.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:05, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – It would be nice if the article page, file page, or image caption(s) said what type of camera this is. Here are the camera info links: [3] [4]. Perhaps the image caption(s) could say the photo is of the interior chamber of the camera. As Chris said, the original upload's file size is somewhat small, 177KB.

Interesting bit of ephemera; it is promotional, but for a product long extinct. It illustrates a few unrelated and now somewhat rare things: Two-color printing, patent medicines and paper bag packaging.

Excellent copy of a visually striking poster for a well-known horror film. Target article has GA status. There were attempts to promote this image twice before, but those were over a decade ago and had low community input.

Original – This is the largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy. You would need more than 600 HD television screens to display the whole image. It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the galaxy’s pancake-shaped disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years.
ALT1 - Full resolution
Reason
This is the largest (and maybe even sharpest) image ever taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. High EV because it shows the star density of the Andromeda Galaxy, and an absolutely amazing image overall. Very surprised it hasn't been nominated yet. There's a 0.7 gigabyte version (File:Andromeda Galaxy M31 - Heic1502a Full resolution.tiff), but that one isn't transcluded anywhere and is so big that it needs to be downloaded to open.

  • I am pretty sure all those small dots filling the background are noise, not stars. It's measurement or detection noise, somewhat similar to high ISO noise (but more intense). The image has scientific value even with all that noise, because lots of tiny stars are still discernible (perhaps for first time ever) within the noise, though not easily. However, for a galaxy photo in an encyclopedia, the excessive noise misleads, coming across as stars. It's just too noisy IMO. -Oppose. Bammesk (talk) 02:02, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bammesk: From what I've gathered from HubbleSite and overall specifications for the Hubble, those objects are more likely than not individual astronomical bodies. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey did a similar look at the Milky Way's center, and it looks exactly the same when zoomed in. The link Chris posted actually sums it up really well. SirMemeGod12:26, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This confirms it. "Though the galaxy is over 2 million light-years away, The Hubble Space Telescope is powerful enough to resolve individual stars in a 61,000-light-year-long stretch of the galaxy’s pancake-shaped disk. It's like photographing a beach and resolving individual grains of sand. And there are lots of stars in this sweeping view -- over 100 million, with some of them in thousands of star clusters seen embedded in the disk." SirMemeGod13:13, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    There is an argument for uploading images from different sources as seperate files: If there's damage, it can help make repairing it easier, and it avoids the situation we have here, where there's two sources given, one of which is irrelevant to the one in question. I'd probably tease the variants out; I do think this is eminently featurable, but the nomination closes in two days, and it may be best to let this close and immediately renomnate, citing that it took a while to find the best version.
