  • Oppose per FP criteria 1 and 7. My sympathies for Kallerna and thanks for electing to share the image, but the focus is on the back of the hand rather than the injury site, and neither the file description nor the caption in the article explains what happened here. (It's an accidental injury, right? At what stage was this photo taken? Seems like emergency sutures were made. Is the clear material the wound dressing and the black stuff blood clots? Did this require further surgery for wound closure?) --Paul_012 (talk) 10:11, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I just took this photo for myself, but realizing it could have some EV, I uploaded it to Commons. Did not think there would be need for details of the accident. The accident happened with a table planer, and the amputation was made after that in operating room. The photo was taken about a week after the operation.
I did not nominate the picture. However, I got to say I somehow like the picture: a really common object everyone knows with a small twist to make it interesting. —kallerna 05:30, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Charlesjsharp, the instructions on top of this page say in Bold: "All objections should be accompanied by a specific rationale that, if addressed, would make you support the image." Not appropriate for FP is not a specific rationale. Nor are things like "I don't like it", "bad photo", "low quality", etc. etc. Oppose rationals should be specific, such as: Low quality because of x, y, z. On a different note, why isn't a photo of an amputation, in an article about amputation, not appropriate!! If it is appropriate to be in the article, then it's appropriate to be FP, assuming (or given) it meets the eight requirements of the FP criteria. We are not here to judge what we think is appropriate to display. We are here to recognize (give a star to) photos that improve the encyclopedia, by improving at least one article, period, per the FP criteria. Bammesk (talk) 02:20, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
