Original - Warthogs near a lake in the Ngorongoro Crater.
Reason
We have a FP of a single warthog which is very good but IMO this image adds to EV as well since it shows that warthogs usually appear in groups. The water body behind is also a plus point and the wet recently bathed warthog adds to the image.

  • Support Nice. Would you consider a bit of a crop at the bottom? Foldedwater (talk) 16:56, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: A nice enough picture, but I'm really not seeing the EV. Ok, it shows a group of them rather than one, and it may show a wet one, but as a comparison- would we promote a picture of a single mushroom, and a picture of a group of them? No, I don't think so. Seems to be just another image (and by no means an important one) in an over-illustrated article. I doubt it would remain if someone did some serious work on the article.

    • A close-up image of a single warthog shows the animals more than the surroundings and habitat. While that is no doubt important, IMO a good view of the habitat is also important but unfortunately both of these can not be completely shown in a single picture. Consider a close-up view of a single bee and another of a colony, or a single wildebeest and another of a herd of thousands. Wouldn't you say both images have sufficient EV for the article? --Muhammad(talk) 04:45, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: The scattered group of Warthogs must be occupying less than 25% area in the photo. The features of none of them are clearly visible. Questionable EV. --Redtigerxyz Talk 10:50, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
