Proposed replacement, JPEG
Reason
Simple housekeepping: Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was run when only a PNG existed; due to the bugs of Wikipedia's handling of PNGs, it's been universally replaced with JPEGs. By bot, to make it more confusing replacement

  • Comment - I'm not sure about that. Is this new mosaic a real image? I may be wrong about this, but I feel like the details and edges of the boulders look suspiciously smooth and rounded, as if they are rendered, and the shadows at the right edge of the asteroid look strangely long even though they're pointed toward the direction of illumination. There's no opposition effect (brightening towards direction of illumination) in this new mosaic unlike the previous one, so it looks rather unnatural. The new mosaic's description doesn't explain the image in enough detail, so I have no idea how it was made or processed. Nrco0e (talk) 01:19, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That makes sense. The top image (current FP) is a composite of 12 images, according to its source. Bammesk (talk) 03:10, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The original looks more detailed. -- Sca (talk) 14:34, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just how? The mosaic has some special traits as Adam mentioned, but it's really much more detailed when viewed at 100%. Artem.G (talk) 18:56, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will admit I'm finding it difficult to line the images up. If they show different sides of the asteroid, I'm not sure this is a replace situation, just an add an addition. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.6% of all FPs. 02:02, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it's the same side, though the image is rotated 180°. The two central craters are visible on both images. Artem.G (talk) 19:14, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Artem.G: Delist and replace. By the way, you should probably add "and replace" to your vote, presuming that's your intent. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.6% of all FPs. 22:20, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

a suitable caption for the image
Reason
Okay. First of all, a version of this with lower pixel size, but far more detail exists: File:Charles Darwin by Elliott & Fry, 1874.png. It's restored well, but the Library of Congress version is degraded, and that's... basically a fundamental obstacle.
It's also questionably dated: Harvard says 1874, this says c. 1880. This is kind of a problem when one of the big draws of it was having a date nearer certain books' publication. It was put in Rotogravure as an example. There's no source for it being a rotogravure. It has contrast issues: His face and hair blend into the background, and that's not really an issue in the original. I think we can have multiple FPs of Darwin. Having a frontal portrait, an early portrait - there's many valuable options. However, they need to be the best copy of the image we have at the minimum, and that's not what we have now.

The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, a shunga illustration by Hokusai depicting a woman in carnal relations with two octopi
Reason

Although this was good for 2011, it hasn't held up. I've uploaded File:The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, British Museum, version 1 (cropped).jpg, which is from the British Museum (more reputable colours) and of significant enough resolution to see the grain of the paper. It also shows correctly that this was a diptych. Unfortunately, that copy has some dirt and muck, so I don't think a D&R is feasible here.
