  • On English Wikipedia Featured Picture Candidates, only usage on English Wikipedia counts towards the image's encyclopedic value, and, while I do think it's a good image, it's only used in one article here, and as the last image on it. I'm not sure that's enough. It's flat-coloured, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when you compare, say, File:Ulanen 13.jpg, it doesn't quite have the same pizazz. I feel bad saying all this, though, as, if it had better usage, and maybe slightly better shading, this feels like it'd be a very valuable image.

Thank you for your attention, Mr Adam Cuerden! I agree with the comments, I’ll try to create an article about the 4th Kharkov Uhlan Regiment. In my opinion, a vector image is better without a gradient and shadows. Best Regards, — Niklitov (talk) 19:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If we get the article on the regiment, I'll happily support. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.6% of all FPs. 22:47, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but you may need to renominate this, given how late in the nomination period this is. As a general rule, waiting a month or so between nominations of the same image is preferred, but given the addition of the article, it's probably okay to go faster than that. You may want to consider a set nomination with the two other images of the uniforms. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.6% of all FPs. 03:52, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
