Ellicott Square Building[edit]

Reason: This is a high EV image. After viewing File:Le chateau de Vaux le Vicomte.jpg, I realized that you don't have to have a blue sky for a VP. I would do a perspective correction, but fear I would lose the sculpture on the far right.

And why does it have EV? We already have a featured picture of him, what's this one adding that one isn't? J Milburn (talk) 21:54, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know we have a featured picture of him but for example we have a FP of Obama but we have alot of VP of him anyway. Spongie555 (talk) 03:07, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The whole point of valued pictures is that the pictures are valuable. Why's this one valuable? Where's the EV? J Milburn (talk) 12:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is valuable beacuse it is a good quality image of him. VP is less harsh about the EV then FP is. Spongie555 (talk) 01:12, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Which demonstrates in one how this project has failed. The whole point of VP was to award high value images which were not of the quality needed for FP. J Milburn (talk) 01:40, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the argument here is that it presents the subject with a more natural facial expression, unlike the somewhat crisp FP (which has more info about the details of the skin and hair), hence its use in the article as well. However I am not convinced of it being among Wikipedia's most educational work. "It has EV" is clearly not sufficient. --Elekhh (talk) 03:10, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Off break small[edit]

**Original** - Animation to show the trajectory taken by a off spin (or off break) delivery in cricket. This sort of delivery is bowled by a right-arm bowler.

Reason: An animation showing the trajectory taken (from above) of a typical off break delivery in cricket. The image is, in my opinion, of very high educational value: indeed, I have to refer frequently to these animations to remind myself which sort of spin bowler delivers which sort of ball.

Weak Oppose Low resolution but still it's not too blurred. --Extra 999 (Contact ^me + _contribs) 11:13, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Support Really like this one, very high EV. The fact it is staged almost makes it better. Acather96 (talk) 20:09, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice, clear image, but find File:Michigan Ave Bridge 060415.jpg significantly more educative, as it demonstrates the functioning of the bridge. --Elekhh (talk) 11:52, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Elekhh. Acather96 (talk) 19:39, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is educational in its own right, I might never know people can walk over it from the other image. --I'ḏ ♥One 19:46, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Support~~ Weak oppose per Elekhh. --Extra 999 (Contact ^me + _contribs) 04:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose EV not outstanding: too low resolution to illustrate façade detail, tightly framed frontal view does not illustrate building volume and site context. --Elekhh (talk) 02:49, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is the lead image in the article. Spongie555 (talk) 03:27, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The image could be much more educational if it would reveal the building volume, context or architectural detail, ideally several of these qualities combined in one image. --Elekhh (talk) 03:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think the building on the left is distracting. I think that was a one of the reasons it failed FP as i remember. Spongie555 (talk) 02:32, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support But it's not distracting the main focus. --Extra 999 (Contact ^me + _contribs) 02:42, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose If it wasn't for the building on the right, I'd support. Acather96 (talk) 20:05, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
