  • It's pretty, but I'm not quite sure I understand the significance of the lantern colours and such, and the article doesn't really explain much beyond lanterns being connected to Ramadan (I gather from Fanous that they represent light into the darkness, but is this lantern and its colours more significant than other lanterns?) I do apologise for my ignorance. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:17, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    the significance is this that is an old and handmade lantern (Fanous), Made of Copper and stained glass and lighted by a candle. this type of lanterns now become so rarely. the another reason is the wonderful blending of the colors make a pretty artwork. --»» Ibrahim.ID 07:03, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, I agree it's beautiful, just the article it's attached to isn't very good at present, so, in order to integrate the picture better, we need to expand the article a bit. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:30, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Green tickY you are right, the article is very small and low content, I will expand it »» Ibrahim.ID 22:58, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Unique and original work for folklore, and meet all featured picture criteria. --»» Ibrahim.ID 07:03, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Having thought about this, I think I will support it, even though its article is very poor. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:25, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The caption needs to be improved. "An old and Handmade Fanous Ramadan or Ramadan lantern, is a famous Egyptian folklore associated with Ramadan..." doesn't make any sense. Folklore is the set of stories, songs, customs, etc., associated with a certain people. You can't say an object is "a folklore"; and this image represents a single lantern, not the whole class of them. The caption should also say how it's used or something of its symbolism. Right now, not only is the caption written in poor English, it isn't informative enough. As for the picture, it's pretty but it lacks context -- where is the lantern in the picture? Where are such lanterns usually found? I feel like this picture raises more questions than it answers. Aɴɢʀ (talk) 19:27, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
