I'm a little worried about the diagram being misleading since it depicts the speed of light as being larger for lower frequencies. Isn't that inaccurate? hinnk (talk) 02:57, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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]

Faravahar on Fire Temple of Yazd

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 5 Oct 2024 at 16:05:25 (UTC)

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.

The Sundering of the Elves.svg

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 7 Oct 2024 at 12:00:34 (UTC)

Reason: Wikipedia's most extensive, comprehensive, readable and source accurate diagram presenting the division of elves in the world created by Tolkien. The svg format provides lossless scaling. This image has also previously been assessed using the Quality image guidelines and is considered a Quality image.

Comment – Accessibility of complex information for general readers/viewers seems doubtful. – Sca (talk) 12:43, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The divisions of elves in Tolkien's works are a very complex matter. This diagram organizes practically all the knowledge in this area and presents it in the most accessible way possible. Agnaton (talk) 13:14, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Sca - This certainly has value in the articles, but I can't imagine it as a FP on the main page... (FYI I've read LOTR five times, so I'm kind of a fan, but this is just too much...) --Janke | Talk 13:47, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry you're against it, especially since many of the diagrams have FA status. Agnaton (talk) 13:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Question Has the colors used been tested to be optimal for persons with sight issues?★Trekker (talk) 23:01, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, but it is also perfectly understandable without colors if needed. Agnaton (talk) 17:33, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – It's too soon to nominate this image. The image was added to The article a few days ago. There is currently a discussion about the image on the article's talk page. The image should be renominated at a later time, after there is no longer a discussion about it, and once the image is stable in the article for 7+ days (per FP criterion #5), preferably longer in my opinion. Bammesk (talk) 15:31, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To the nominator, image use in non-English Wiki articles is not relevant. I suggest removing those entries from the list above, to declutter. Bammesk (talk) 15:35, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Agnaton (talk) 17:32, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion is not about my diagram per se. I started the discussion about current diagram used in Sundering of the Elves, that in my opinion have some errors, and provided my diagram as solution. Agnaton (talk) 17:30, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Older version of this diagram was used in Elves in Middle-earth for 5 years, from 2015 to 2020, and in Sundering of the Elves for almost 6 years, from 2015 to 2021. Agnaton (talk) 17:36, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Fifteen-year old official White House promo pic. Meh. – Sca (talk) 12:27, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fifteen years later, this still has educational and historical values, that's the point. That's not the case for most White House pictures. Yann (talk) 16:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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]

The only equivalent is File:P070109PS-0623 (3679283361).jpg. It lacks the solemnity of the event, and IMO, that's why it is not used. Yann (talk) 13:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So? If you compare Nixon meeting Elvis (featured image) to the Moon Landing, it’s insignificant in the Nixon presidency. Wcamp9 (talk) 15:56, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support – semi-historic, this is their first arrival to the U.S. (New York City JFK airport). Merits taking an exception for the technical issues. I don't think we have any FPs of them. Bammesk (talk) 17:25, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Surely we should find a better image of the Fab Four than this, tho. -- Sca (talk) 15:36, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And am I really the only one who sees the technical flaws? Look at the man in the fedora (second row, second from right) in full magnification. There's pronounced horizontal banding in the dark areas of his suit, and if you look at his lips and the brim of his hat you can see individual rows of pixels. These things pop up in detail areas all over the picture. I think this image was enlarged to its current size from a smaller copy at some point. Moonreach (talk) 17:09, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment — I put it into Krita and checked the levels; they're not fully blown out. There is forehead detail in there, although it didn't look particularly great when I crushed the levels down enough to find it. I'd support an alt that balances things a bit better. Moonreach (talk) 20:49, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I messed with this in Photoshop last night, and unfortunately his face falls within the highlight range, so fixing the shine also makes the rest of him look like Lurch. Doing a localized adjustment was somewhat better, but it still ended up looking more grey than recovering detail. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:08, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I don't think this is a particularly good photo; it cuts off in a weird place that shows all of his torso but nothing below it, and he's leaning out of the frame.

I note the need for restoration as well. Also, I think File:Archives of American Art - Augusta Savage - 2371.jpg better illustrates the subject and her work. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:20, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It needs a crop and a restoration (and to actually be used somewhere on the English Wikipedia), but otherwise I'd support that one if you want to nominate it. A great encapsulation of an artist and her work. Moonreach (talk) 20:56, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is good also, but should it replace the lead image? Yann (talk) 12:53, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's an editing choice. Honestly, as a lede image I'm thinking File:AugustaSavage.jpg works best (there is less tension in her body than the nominated image, and it still has a sculpture). File:Archives of American Art - Augusta Savage - 2371.jpg and its derivative work best in the body, I think, as her physical identifying features are secondary to her art in that image. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hindenberg Disaster - 6 May 1937

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 9 Oct 2024 at 23:33:40 (UTC)

Reason: The Hindenberg Disaster abruptly ended an era in which airships were very popular, as is known as one of the most famous aviation accidents. These images showed people that airships are dangerous. It is just like the "Oh, the humanity" quote about the disaster, a pretty important piece of media.

Pixel art wizard

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 12 Oct 2024 at 19:33:32 (UTC)

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.

Comment – Meh. Lacks visual interest, EV. –Sca (talk) 12:54, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think for EV, File:Pixel Art Cat with Zoom-in Detail.svg is probably the better choice. That being said, this is good pixel art - and I say this as an aficionado of the genre. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:46, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That was actually my first choice, but I decided against it for a few reasons. The color selection (not just the palette but the full gamut it implies) is mostly browns and blues, there's not much to indicate how shadows are represented, and there are large areas of flat color. I also dislike the inset detail box, which is just under a 2x magnification and therefore just browbeats the viewer with information they already have. So I went through Commons, found another piece of pixel art I felt illustrated the concept better, added it to the page and waited a week. Moonreach (talk) 15:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is definitely something that looks more like typical pixel art games of the 90s. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 15:14, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
