King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 17 Aug 2010 at 21:10:32 (UTC)

delist: King of Bhutan, crowned 2008
replacement edit: Flaw around hair removed.
Reason
Towards the end of the original nomination in 2008, an edit was made that fixed a flaw in this image. The edit was minor, ignored, and this one promoted instead. Just procedurally, it would be nice to transfer the star to a version that is (however slightly) better.

  • Delist and replace — Maedin\talk 21:10, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, I've literally just spent a minute staring at the two pictures side by side - what have you actually changed?! -- bydand•talk 01:01, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replace, do we really need to go through this procedure? It seems to me that we could simply upload over the original and post a nomination for minor changes like this. Cowtowner (talk) 01:03, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, some of these delist nominations seem pointless. A tiny part of the image is changed and we need a concencus on it? Seems frivolous. -- bydand•talk 01:08, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not my edit, the edit was done two years ago by Diego pmc during the original nomination. There is a halo/artefact left over from sharpening at the back of the king's head, where it meets the wall. The edit has removed that. The reason I didn't want to upload over the top myself is that the fix may have introduced issues that I didn't spot and/or the fix may be poorly done. I figured if the edit was such A Good Thing, then MER-C would have promoted it at the time, but he didn't. But okay, this is fine, too. At least more eyes have been on it than just mine, so thanks.

  • delist and delist. If this can of worms is opened, then just delist the picture. 0.8MP is a ridiculously small size. Good portrait? yes. Useful/valuable? Yes. But not top of the line, not featureworthy. --Dschwen 13:15, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Now, my eyesight isn't the best, but I just can't see the difference. What am I looking at here? J Milburn (talk) 15:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I have exactly the same issue as J Milburn, I still can't see anything 12 hours later. Maybe my untrained eyes are failing me, but really.. I replaced the image with the replacement just to avoid the ridiculousness of it, yet it was reverted. I'm quite lost, and also find it sad that Wikipedia has come to the stage of needing a concencus on this. -- bydand•talk 15:54, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • NB: There is an orange band of "light" following the back of the skull (above left of the king's ear). Side by side with the edit, you can see that it's been replaced with black/removed. Yes, the edit is minor. Regardless, I don't see why a D&R should cause a fuss. Surely if it bothers, it can be ignored? Maedin\talk 18:03, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well I am simply a bit bewildered. I see this nomination section as a place where delistings & changes etc. which people may oppose to are added. Can I ask, why would anyone oppose this? Yet we must go through this procedure? -- bydand•talk 02:30, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral. Sorry, it's gonna have to be neutral from me, as I just can't see the difference. J Milburn (talk) 10:24, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can see the difference even in thumbnail. Have you not downloaded and looked in an image editing programme (as our FPC header recommends)? Maedin\talk 10:50, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion of earlier close

Uploaded the supposed edit over the original to avoid this pointless discussion. -- bydand•talk 01:27, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted nomination because Bydand's solution did not stick (see file history). Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 15:36, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
