Morelia viridis[edit]

Reason: ...
Articles this image appears in: ~~none at the time of the nomination :-(~~ ~~Morelia viridis~~ it's been reverted (it remains a much better image than the existing images so I left it on the talk page for someone with more involvement in the article to judge) Mfield (talk) 21:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Object Since it is in no articles and thus cannot be judged as encyclopedic or non encyclopedic which unlike commons is the main thing here. Cat-five - talk 20:19, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I just added it to Morelia viridis, as its surely a better image than the top one there was. Now I'll go and look at it further to vote. Mfield (talk) 20:56, 2 August 2008 (UTC) Followup - background far too noisy, have uploaded an edit since its a pretty subject and picture, but the blown highlights prevent me from supporting.

Comment: the nominator appears to assume that "reason for nomination" and the inclusion in articles criterion are optional. They are mistaken. Not to sound too harsh (in truth I am mildly annoyed, but trying to AGF), you can't just shrug your shoulders when asked why you're nominating this - follow the procedure and WP:WIAFP please. This presents a face of a bad faith nomination, especially when the nominator is also the creator of the work - it almost sounds like you're saying "I don't care about the criteria or whether it's a good photo, I just want it to be featured because it's mine". I'm going to assume that's not the case, and you're just new here. Oppose on grounds of FPC politics. The photo is also quite noisy and has blown highlights, but that's a minor issue compared. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 21:01, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
