Comment – Looks promotional = boring. – Sca (talk) 12:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – Promotional then, but historical now, EV is good enough for me. However, I'd only support Alt 1 (the edited version) shown lower down on the file's page, fingerprints & dust removed (from a 35 mm slide, I presume). --Janke | Talk 12:30, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Added as Alt 1. Inclined to agree this is superior - the proposed version crops off part of the subject, for a start. TSP (talk) 13:17, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - One little tweak would be nice; The color is a bit wrong in the alt, the Mac looks brownish gray. The original Mac had a slightly yellowish hue, which is much better in the original. --Janke | Talk 16:22, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment: If this photo was published with good reproduction at the time? If so period magazine/promotional material may help guide to original color details. -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:33, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - If necessary, I could try doing a color tweak - I know the color exactly, since I still own an original Mac 512K... EDIT: Done. --Janke | Talk 09:12, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt 1. (I uploaded the first version; I only cropped the non-photographic border and did a rough levels adjust to be closer to what looked more natural to me - I just wanted to get a usable version of Commons promptly after I became aware of this free licensed photo was available.) I'm glad to see this photo getting the attention to restoration by others more skilled with photoshop than I. -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter what the source is (ebay, a magazine, a blog, etc.). Publicity photos circulated without a copyright notice, which were common at the time [1], are in public domain.

Comment Copyright status unclear, "source: eBay" isn't good enough. --Janke | Talk 15:52, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter what the source is (ebay, a magazine, a blog, etc.). Publicity photos circulated without a copyright notice, which were common at the time [4], are in public domain. Everything about this photo says it falls in that category. Two FP examples: [5], [6]. Bammesk (talk) 15:59, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support The original Ebay item is in the file history and clearly doesn't display a copyright notice. Per my understanding, works published without a notice between 1923 and 1977 automatically ended up in the public domain. I almost opposed the image when I noticed the original was a lower resolution image (and that the image looked a little fuzzy), but on closer inspection of the file history, it does look like a genuine higher resolution version was uploaded. —CodeHydro 15:09, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I am not familiar with all the details, but for promotional prints like this, I think something is needed to establish that it was circulated without a copyright notice and also to establish the date of publication. Placing an inquiry at Commons:Village pump/Copyright can clear the copyright status. Bammesk (talk) 17:16, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hayden Bridge[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 12 Oct 2021 at 18:20:02 (UTC)

Reason: The photograph significantly improves the article on its corresponding subject. It is of a high technical standard and resolution, with the main subject clear and in good focus. It illustrates the bridge in a compelling way, is free, has good lighting, a good file description, and helps Wikipedians to understand the subject better. It is a photograph from before the bridge's renovation, as part of historic documentation, and comes from an authoritative source, adding to its encyclopedic value. It meets all FP criteria and is among the best examples of Hayden Bridge, and of wrought iron, phoenix column bridges that the encyclopedia has to offer.

- Sca, This is the standard format for photographs by the Historic American Engineering Record. See the HAER Guidelines. Tyrone Madera (talk) 16:56, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – It needs a bit of restoration in the sky area, the label on top right corner as well. I think the original Here is in B&W because it was shot on large format (5x7 inch) film [8] which gives much higher resolution for (government) documentation purposes, as opposed to 35mm color film (the digital scan isn't high resolution though). Bammesk (talk) 16:36, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bammesk: I cropped it to File:Hayden Bridge (cropped).jpg for you. — Jeff G. ツ 16:51, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff G., I did a restoration of the original TIF (removed scratches/dust), cloned out the label on top right corner, and uploaded the file on top of your version. I didn't change the contrast of the original TIF. I agree with TSP's comments below, I think the contrast revision was excessive. But if you want to change the contrast slightly, feel free. Support. Bammesk (talk) 02:58, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm not sure about the amount of contrast that's been added in the edit. Looking at the diagonal pillar coming down from the front of the bridge, on the original the pillar has a smooth gradient, clearly showing the round cross-section. On the proposed edit, the upper side of the pillar looks (at least on both my monitors) almost blown out, obscuring the shape of the pillar. The edit has also darkened the underside of the bridge, hiding some detail there, and made the sky harsher and the dust specks more obvious. There are certainly also areas where it has brought out detail, especially in thumbnail, but I'm not sure it's universally an improvement - I think a slightly gentler touch might bring better results? TSP (talk) 17:15, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- TSP & Bammesk, I've added two identical versions with lower contrast based on File:Hayden Bridge (cropped).jpg, but my attempts to do things properly have only mangled the file descriptions more from their original states. They are File:Hayden Bridge lower contrast.jpeg and File:Hayden Bridge lower contrast.jpg. The pages are messy and I don't know how best to fix them. Hopefully, these are more the contrast you're looking for and at least function as a proof of concept for reducing the contrast. Best, Tyrone Madera (talk) 17:59, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(Weak solely because I may be missing something obvious.) Josh Milburn (talk) 18:36, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think they made (or make) large format (5x7 inch) color film. If they do or did, it's rare and not common. Pinging @Janke: he may know more about this. In 1990 (pre digital photography) the government's objective was to document "significant" structures [11], [12], [13]. Capturing the details of this structure is why large format B&W film was used (large film ~ high resolution ~ more detail). Color information wasn't important. That's why it's B&W, but that doesn't justify supporting the nom (the digital scan isn't high resolution anyway). I am supporting the nom because the bridge has two innovative design features, "milestones" per Library of Congress [14] (for its time, 1882) and the photo shows the two features in sufficient detail (Whipple truss and Phoenix column), noted in article's text as well. The image enhances the article. It shows the bridge in its original state, before it was converted to a pedestrian trail with additional fences [15]. The color information would have been nice, but it's not detrimental to what it shows. Bammesk (talk) 03:30, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Event Horizon Telescope and Apollo 16[edit]

Reason: Image demonstrates the incredible magnification achieved by the subject of the article. Image is a composite of 7 other free-use images, with no alternations other than cropping, rotation, and scaling as appropriate for the zoom step. Image is sufficiently high resolution to see many of the larger features of each step in the red box of the previous step.

Oppose – Per Janke. Confusing montage. – Sca (talk) 12:50, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The montage actually zooms into the actual position of the Apollo 16 Rover, which is the exact same rover being featured in that image you're calling incongruous. There is no higher magnification available of the step before that one. I used the highest resolution image available of the Apollo 16 site from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, the newest orbiter around the moon by NASA. Sure, the picture with the astronaut isn't bird's eye like the rest, but I'd say showing the astronaut better demonstrates the magnification because it gives a familiar size to compare: the size of a human. —CodeHydro 15:43, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- If you think about it, the fact that a satellite from moon-orbit can barely resolve a 10-foot long rover while the Event Horizon Telescope's image of the black hold was effectively equivalent to resolving a tennis-ball-sized object on the moon from Earth makes the black hole image even more impressive. —CodeHydro 15:55, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

John Snow's cholera map[edit]

**Original** – Map by John Snow showing the cholera cases of the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak.

Reason: The image significantly improves the article on the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak and is a prototypical example of human geography. It is of a high technical standard and resolution. It illustrates the outbreak and human geography in a compelling way, is free, has a good file description, and helps Wikipedians to understand the subject better. It comes from an authoritative source and is an important part of the history of disease mapping and epidemiology, adding to its encyclopedic value. It meets all FP criteria and is among the best examples of disease mapping that the encyclopedia has to offer.

"General interest" has nothing to do with it. We have a 15+ year archive of featured content [16], [17], [18], just look at the archives, it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

FPC standards are FP criteria and instructions. A) and B) are your personally chosen standards. You have been rejecting noms based on your own chosen standards for a long time [25], which manifests itself in slow and persistent disruption: frustrates participants including newbies, weighs on participation, sinks nominations in certain categories.

Support; ~~for the record, I did not create it (that would be Tom Patterson, also the creator of FP File:Everest-3D-Map-Type-EN.jpg, who released it into the public domain). I just uploaded/added it to articles.~~ eviolite (talk) 19:45, 20 October 2021 (UTC) I see that this has now been noted in the nomination. eviolite (talk) 19:59, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
