Steamboat Bill, Jr.

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 1 Sep 2019 at 22:28:39 (UTC)

Original – Steamboat Bill, Jr. complete movie

Reason: High EV. I cued up the very beginning of most famous scene but Keaton's amazing stunts are around 59:00 and 59:30 into the film (3 minutes after where I cued the film to start). This film is a triumph in film making and the entire film ~~has been restored~~ appears in good shape.

@Bammesk: I contacted the Library of Congress and a reference librarian responded: According to Film Superlist: Motion Pictures in the U.S. Public Domain, 1894-1939, STEAMBOAT BILL JR. (1928) the copyright was not renewed. The book the librarian is referencing is this one listed on Google Books. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 06:36, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ubu Roi

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 5 Sep 2019 at 04:43:02 (UTC)

Reason: Obviously, this one has to go on encyclopedic value more than art quality, but this is the programme, created by the author, for the incredibly influential work Ubu Roi. As such, I think EV quite outweighs the fact that it's a very weird image, although if you've seen the costumes, or know a bit about the play, you'd know it's not as weird as you'd think. ...Or, at least, it's appropriately weird.

Comment Were I already entitled to vote I would definitely rally for "support". I haven't had the chance to see a performance, but the play is reknown as a precursor to the fantastic world of the absurd theatre. The première programme sheet, albeit composed in a strange but befitting, squiggly calligraphy, thus possesses a true encyclopedic value. Compare e.g. this election campaign poster from the turn of the century (1905). -- Franz van Duns (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:55, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Conditional support~~ – Top EV, but a little restoration of the tears & creases in the corners would be welcome. --Janke | Talk 19:01, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I checked the original image at Wiki commons and found that the first image (from 22 September 2008) had retained just a slight more of the museum's mark "29057B" at the bottom right corner than the more recent image. The closing "B", for whatever reason, went amiss in the new version. No complaint, this image would still claim my full support, would I be entitled to vote (56 edits to go). Otherwise, regarding the very moderate creases, wrinkles and stains on the paper edges I would take a different stance than Janke and I would retain all as is, as it is exactly these flaws that provide this seasoned poster (now aged 123 years) with an aura of authenticity. Regarding the printed areas, some amount of retouching will certainly be necessary in other cases, but this poster makes a very well-preserved impression which IMHO renders further retouching unnecessary. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 20:53, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  - @Janke and DonFB: The text in the box in the lower right says the Vitascope films are "full of color", so they clearly were. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.9% of all FPs} 03:58, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - D'uh, I oughta look closer next time. DonFB (talk) 04:05, 31 August 2019 (UTC) [reply]
      - It's pretty small, so unless you took a really good look at it at reasonably large size, it'd be easy to miss, and that's the step after you deal with inaccuracies that might make the image fail FPC in and of themselves. I was restoring it, you weren't, so...

Now, I'm not going to say the colours were necessarily as good as indicated; this is an advertisement, after all; exaggeration is a thing they do. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.9% of all FPs} 04:11, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Alternative version "Alt 1" OK with me. This now thoroughly cleansed version is just fine, it has its merits and a fresh and renewed charm, and would also earn my full support, were I entitled to vote (40 edits to go ...). All in all, though, I personally prefer "slightly smudged" documents that, as described above, do not hide historical traces acquired over the years. But this is a personal instigation of mine. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 17:38, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt 1. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:58, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt 1. One tiny quibble - above the woman in the blue hat above the T in Vitascope, there are two white marks at men's necks, which have been removed in the restoration, presumably as damage. I don't think they are - at least the left-hand one is quite clearly-formed, and looks to me like it's the man's collar. I'd be slightly happier if these were put back; but not a huge deal.

Glenn T. Seaborg

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 8 Sep 2019 at 02:58:16 (UTC)

Reason: 1951 Nobel prize winner in chemistry Glenn T. Seaborg in front of the periodic table. Photograph 1950. The element 106 of the table, Seaborgium, is named after him. He also identified the proper location of element 90 Thorium within the table. He synthesized over a hundred actinide isotopes and here he is photographed with an ion exchanger apparatus of actinide elements.

Lili'uokalani

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 8 Sep 2019 at 05:49:10 (UTC)

Reason: A fine image of a very important monarch, who also wrote quite a number of well-known songs. Also, has her signature on it. And, yes, the image is meant to be sepia. If I were to remove the sepia, I'd need to remove her signature, because it wouldn't be a good representation of the signed photo seen here.
Articles in which this image appears: Lili'uokalani, Hawaiian Kingdom, and quite a few other notable usages. It replaced an older, smaller and crappier Library of Congress scan, and various low-res scans from various places.
FP category for this image: She's notable in several fields, but I'd image most people would look in Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Royalty first.

Comment Impressively huge panorama of an impresssive vista, extremely great detail for a vario lens (EF24-70mm) even at 1:1 screen pixel resolution, 38mm must be near the "sweet spot", albeit the far lower corners are a bit soft. At first view when maximised I thought I had found a stitching artefact two finger widths from the left edge at almost exactly half height: looks like a short distance of gravel roadway coming diagonally from behind the hilltop at front which abruptly ends in nowhere. Upon close scrutination I'm sure the road simply levels out and continues almost invisibly to the right to disappear behind the next hillside. So all's OK! I would vote for support, were I but entitled to do so. Alas, still 39 wikipedia edits to go. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 13:04, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Janke, @Charlesjsharp: Thanks for your encouragement!
In the past decennium I (and my wife) have continually been doing translation cleansing hither and thither whenever we stumbled upon wikipedia articles with obvious language deficiencies (both English and German), albeit all anonymously signed by daily changing IP addresses, until I decided to join wiki commons in 2018.
Last week I added a flurry of modern, high-resolution sensors to this List of sensors used in digital cameras, each with an appropriate reference (... ahem, once I had found out how to do so properly).
Upcoming to-do list: I've decided to have a bash at some of the articles centering on stereoscopy, and, of course, I'll keep up correcting typos and translation mistakes. We'll see. Thanks again. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 08:26, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Video of a humpback whale singing and diving

Original – Video of a humpback whale singing and diving

Reason: High encyclopedic value as a visual and audio recording of a humpback whale singing and diving
Articles in which this image appears: Humpback whale and added on 7 September 2019 to Whale vocalization. While I would prefer a more stable visual angle, I think that the high EV more than makes up for this shortcoming.

Support thank you for nominating the image! I also thought, that the image is a bit titlted and I just wanted to de-tilt it. But I think that it is actually not tilted at all. If you look at the trees behind the flagpole, there are a few absolutely straight. Also the roof of the main structure goes up to the right which adds to the tilted look.

Reason: A fine image, and Norway's feminist movements are underrepresented (Okay, they're getting better represented now, but that's because of me nominating more). The licensing may seem odd, but it's either correct, or the photo is PD (so, at the least, it's a valid photo to host) For those interested: The uploader licensed it CC; Norwegian law means you can yourself gain copyright by releasing a previously unreleased photo. It's either CC because of the uploader publishing it as CC (giving him/her rights over it) or PD because it was published at the time. The uploader has not responded to a clarification request.

Reason: A very nice photograph of a major, major figure in Norwegian feminism and suffrage. I'm not the BIGGEST fan of 3/4 length, but I think it works here.

War Pigeon

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 29 Sep 2019 at 06:56:14 (UTC)

Reason: Having realised I've fuully restored this twice, and that any remaining detail is very minor and very localised, I think I'm feeling happier about this. And it passed Commons FPC, so maybe I'm being too hard on myself.
