And why does it have EV? We already have a featured picture of him, what's this one adding that one isn't? J Milburn (talk) 21:54, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know we have a featured picture of him but for example we have a FP of Obama but we have alot of VP of him anyway. Spongie555 (talk) 03:07, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The whole point of valued pictures is that the pictures are valuable. Why's this one valuable? Where's the EV? J Milburn (talk) 12:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is valuable beacuse it is a good quality image of him. VP is less harsh about the EV then FP is. Spongie555 (talk) 01:12, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Which demonstrates in one how this project has failed. The whole point of VP was to award high value images which were not of the quality needed for FP. J Milburn (talk) 01:40, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the argument here is that it presents the subject with a more natural facial expression, unlike the somewhat crisp FP (which has more info about the details of the skin and hair), hence its use in the article as well. However I am not convinced of it being among Wikipedia's most educational work. "It has EV" is clearly not sufficient. --Elekhh (talk) 03:10, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
