Comment: Beautifully done, but still needs some work. Apart from the above mentioned,
- I think the "microtubule" label should be dropped. Since microtubules are the constituent structures of the spindle, labelling both seems redundant and confusing when provided without explanatory text.
- Could the shading be adjusted to make the attached sister chromatids more distinguishable?
- The crossing-over isn't very clear. Take a look at the bottom tetrad in prophase I. I can't quite tell which arm is attached to which. Also, in metaphase I, the crossed-over arms appear unequal.
- The aster shouldn't be shown as sun rays; they should have the same appearance as the spindle microtubules (but shorter).
- The "Homologous chromosomes" label in prophase I should probably point to each of the pairs, the way "Sister chromatids" does in anaphase I.
- Typo in the anaphase I description: should be "chromosomes", not "chrmosomes".
- The description could also be clearer. How about "separate and move" instead of just "move"?
- Probably not necessary to show the nuclear envelope forming in telophase I only to disintegrate again right away (though the illustration in Campbell's does)?
- Don't think we should say the spindle forms "around" the chromosomes (prophase I). Just forms is probably enough, or if necessary, "in each daughter cell".
- "Metaphase II" probably shouldn't be repeated in the description text.
- Minor issue, but I wonder if the central dark area in the shading of the cells is necessary. It makes the cell look like a target, and it seems to emphasise something that isn't there.
- It would also be nice to have an image of the late interphase at the beginning, to help the viewer get a picture of the "normal" stage before division, but that's just my opinion.

--Paul_012 (talk) 04:07, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since microtubule and spindle are not same, I thought using both of them would be better. The file is SVG so you can it can be zoomed without using quality, so by zooming, you can distinguish minor things like attached sister chromatids. The same fact is true for crossing over part. Although the asters don't used exact same color as spindle but I used orange yellow colors for both of them. I used yellow at the center because of the centriole pair. All misspellings are corrected. Homologous chromosomes label in prophase now point to each of the pairs. The diagram clearly shows that chromatids seperate during Anaphase II so I just used "move" to make text as short as it could be. The central dark area in the shading of the cells is because of the gradient that was given to make the cell more spherically and better. Interphase stage is not necessary to be shown at the beginning because meiosis contain several important stages and adding that stage would make the diagram longer and also Interphase is already depicted in mitosis diagram .

Yes, but it's not explained where it's used, nor on the file description page (and given the file description page is relatively hard to get to from a video as Wikipedia's currently set up, it needs to be both). At the moment, if one sees this in an article, they need to watch it, find the somewhat-hidden button to get to the file description, then from there go to the source page.

Reason: Impressive picture of the largest single naval formation in history to take part in a battle.

Weak support - Focus seems to be on the equipment behind her. Her hand is really out of focus. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:48, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Crisco 1492: I'm not sure the focus is that bad; it's a very big scan. Consider this scaled down version - it's still well above the minimum requirements, but everything in the image looks sharp. Perfect focus distance, as would be seen at poster-size, probably was beyond 1910s camera technology, even if this is an incredible image overall. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 04:18, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Her hand is still out of focus, even scaled down. That's my main problem: her experiment (if that's what it is) is out of focus, and yet it's one of the most important parts of the photograph. The test tubes on the table are pin sharp, and though her face is a bit soft at this resolution I don't mind too much. It's the hand that gives me pause. (If this were a more modern picture, I'd have opposed). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 04:45, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support either – I kind of prefer the first image, the one with the vignetting, not because of the vignetting per se but for two different reasons: 1) I think with the vignetting, the eye is drawn more to her face and expression, and 2) for color balance. The black at the edges, especially the upper edges, picks up the black in her dress (that appears beneath her sweater). Without the vignetting, the background is nearly the same color as her outfit. However, I'm no expert in photography, so I defer to the image experts here. – Corinne (talk) 00:10, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - My only issue is that this isn't his signature vest - the article notes that his signature was a white vest, but the article has no photos of him wearing one, and two (including this) of him in dark vests. TSP (talk) 15:10, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, fair enough. He wore the black vests during training sessions. His wife made him different vests for different occasions, and sometimes special ones for unique events. I think the vest itself is the important bit, I can change up my wording. Kees08 (talk) 15:40, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Actually, I think you're right and the article is wrong - http://spacecenter.org/attractions/starship-gallery/gene-kranz-vest/ shows that his Apollo 17 vest was striped (admittedly with one of the colours being white), and http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4223/ch6.htm has him in a dark vest during the Gemini VIII re-entry. I think the 'signature' white vest was simply the one he was wearing at his most famous moment - during the Apollo 13 mission. So I think the image is fine and the article needs correcting.

Weak support I agree with Chris' comments that it would be better if these images were a bit more alike, but they were well executed and have strong EV. I'm a bit mystified by Sca's comment: soldiers are required to wear standard uniforms and use standard sets of equipment equipment, and images clearly showing the full kit of a combat soldier have significant historic value. The Australian War Memorial, for instance, goes out of its way to ensure that it has photos and examples of full combat gear in its collection and these are predominantly displayed in a museum which is visited by hundreds of thousands of people per year. Nick-D (talk) 08:58, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We all know soldiers are required to wear uniforms. The point is, these are public-relations photos, not any sort of real-world event. Sca (talk) 13:16, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And you can identify every piece of kit worn by a British soldier in the 2010s without even looking at a photograph? Good on you! But for the rest of us, these posed shots show the uniform much better than a shot of a soldier (say) caught in a firefight.Crisco 1492 mobile (talk) 00:51, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I find them boring. I don't think most readers are interested in every piece of kit worn by British soldiers in the 2010s. Nor do most of us expect to be required to identify them anytime soon. Sca (talk) 14:26, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I find several subjects presented in these fora to be boring, but nonetheless I am able to push my own biases aside to recognize the value of various contributions. Wikipedia and its processes are bigger than any one editor, and as such we are supposed to focus on content quality in featured processes, rather than some abstract ideal of 'not boring to me'.

Gertrude Käsebier[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 29 Jul 2016 at 00:38:31 (UTC)

Reason: Somewhat grainy, but that's fairly excusable - photography around 1900 is prone to that. Still, this IS a good image. The pose is very natural, and there's a reasonable amount of detail; her face is well represented. Plus the photographer is notable. Colour is reasonably accurate - the TIFF has colour bars, though I did darken up the blacks a little, to correct for fading.

@Rainbow Archer: I'm not sure you quite get hat's possible and impossible. The scratches and such have been fixed on this image, and the contrast upped. There's not much more that can be done; the remaining problems are graininess. Going back to the original negatives might help a bit, but Adolph de Meyer's original negatives are almost entirely lost, so that's probably not possible. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:22, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are other problems also. As she is wearing hat, the shadow is covering her face's upper part. Her forehead is not visible and she is the subject here. Rainbow Archer (talk) 16:25, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While true, clothing does tell us something about her - her dramatic taste in clothing contrasts nicely with her calm facial expression. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:31, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: For most aircraft in service with their parent nation it is customary for the unit to denote the number of kills that the aircraft and pilot have racked up over the course of the plane's career. Here, the nose of an A-10A Thunderbolt II close air support aircraft shows off the stars painted on the aircraft to denote the number of Iraqi trucks, artillery pieces, tanks, armored vehicles and radar sites destroyed by the aircraft during the 1991 Gulf War.

- @Crisco 1492: Come to think of it, isn't that actually one of those things photographers do intentionally? Blur the face slightly to give smoother-looking skin? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 14:49, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Some. But there are much better alternatives than missing the focus. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:54, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't think any photographer does it by missing the focus (it makes the image look odd / out of focus). It is done by putting a filter in front of the lens, or using a special purpose lens, or these days in software. Bammesk (talk) 02:27, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Good EV. Striking resemblance to her father, esp. around the eyes. Agree re focus, but overall detail is acceptable. Sca (talk) 14:05, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Au contraire, I absolutely love politicians, all of them! – as long as they're not trying to slip official pics of themselves into the media as clandestine political advertising. Sca (talk) 14:21, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – out of focus, not FP quality for a 2011 photograph. The camera-composition-lighting show this is a professional studio photo. The focus is on the far side of her head and farther back, not her face. I would be sympathetic if it was a historic photo or an action shot, but it is neither.

Bertha Lutz[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 31 Jul 2016 at 03:52:50 (UTC)

Reason: A fine photograph of a notable Brazilian scientist, which is probably an underrepresented subject. Pose isn't perfect, but isn't bad.

Support Quality is good for 1925. Pose is acceptable (heck, I thought this was in the 1950s at first glance) - — Chris Woodrich (talk) 04:24, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

Math - Computers + Katherine Johnson = Man in Space.
Math + Computers + Katherine Johnson = Man on Moon.
Men in Space + Disaster + Katherine Johnson = Men safely on Earth.

Also, it's a nice action shot. OF MATH!

FP category for this image: She's a mathematician, but she was applying that math to physics, so I think Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Science and engineering makes sense.

Comment I feel that the picture needs to be cropped, so that the focus is on her. --Rainbow Archer (talk) 11:16, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I think pictures of people at their job add a lot of value that cropping tends to remove. If we crop it to her, it would tend to de-emphasise that she was a NASA mathematician. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:59, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
