Reason:
Illustrates the character of sports and fun event. -- Ikar.us (talk)
Comment Thank you for your full report on Karlsruhe SkateNite :-) For the scope, I'd tend to prefer File:Paris rollers dsc03843.jpg (more a street; shows participants and organizers ; not geocoded but geotag could be guessed (categ "Rue du Temple (Paris)" + signs)). If the concept includes competitive sport, File:Berlin inlinemarathon riesengrppe.JPG could be a competitor too—but maybe "Street skating" is only for the leisure sport? --Myrabella (talk) 23:30, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for finding many more examples. (I had noticed that there were no good images in the articles and no category and thought I would fill a gap.) Organizers are here, too - those with blue shirts and yellow-red suspenders. One rolling beside the car, two in front of the participants and one on the left, grabbing a traffic cone to place it on the joining lane. About the term: Seems that en: talks about road skating with athletic ambitions, while street skating is for fun. --Ikar.us (talk) 00:18, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support The overall quality is so-so and I found the sound truck too prominent in this view but the argument that this truck can be seen as an extra element illustrating the atmosphere of this kind of event makes sense. Otherwise documented, geocoded and well categorized => OK to me. --Myrabella (talk) 14:14, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Question Street skating events are often called Friday Night Skating. This explains the atmosphere that is intended, and the sound truck on my image illustrates it. This example looks more like Sunday afternoon promenade to me. Is it like that? --Ikar.us (talk) 10:26, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There are several street skating events organised each week in Paris, see [1]. This one is an occurrence of the event starting from "Place de la Bastille" each Sunday since 1998, IMO, which gathers up to 20 000 persons sometimes (cf short info on fr:WP). I think it can illustrate the definition given in the en:WP article: "Street skating is the practice of roller skating (commonly on inline skates or quad skates) in groups on public roads. Street skates can be formal affairs, with prespecified routes, marshals and, at times, police escorts or ad hoc gatherings of like minded individuals." --Myrabella (talk) 12:34, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but there's no image that illustrates the subject well for me. I can understand the object by looking at many images in the category, but not by a single image. This one is cropped at the bottom unfortunately. Oppose --Ikar.us (talk) 11:55, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Reason:
Good quality, also currently the best image showing the main building. -- Pitke (talk)
Comment The building is useful to characterize and identify the venue among other racetracks elsewhere. But for illustrating such a scope, an image showing the track in use would be better. As Vermo is the main harness racing track of Finland, according to the en:WP article, it would be even more valuable with horses pulling sulkies. In fact, you've made that image, some time ago: File:Vermo sunset.jpg, which fulfills more criterion 3 IMO; it's a pity that it is not of the same quality than the one you've nominated. A "Most Valued Review" could be possible however. --Myrabella (talk) 19:31, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You can't oppose on the grounds that I can create another photo relatively easily (this isn't even true now that my school's started and all my days are 05-18); the photo satisfies easily the 3:1-3 criteria; if you think the other picture is better, then you should create a MVR. Pitke (talk) 18:36, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks, MVR set up. I don't oppose hoping a better image by you (of course it would be great if you could do it later :) but because this view doesn't illustrate the fact that Vermo is mainly a harness racing track, which is its main feature. We hardly see the track here, and there are people, but not horses. --Myrabella (talk) 16:20, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Vermo is a harness racing track of Finland. This image shows more the race track, with horses pulling sulkies. To me more illustrative for the scope. This image is used in the article about Vermo in 4 Wikipedias.
Info -and if memory serves, I added the picture to all of them. Plan was to not replace until it's clearer which is actually the more valuable shot. Pitke (talk) 19:10, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Request To compete with the present VI, you have to open a Most Valued Review. For the existing VI, "the original VIC subpage is re-opened for voting by changing its status to status=discussed and new reviews are appended to the original VIC subpage. However, any original votes are not counted within the MVR." All details on Commons:Valued image candidates#How to open a Most Valued Review. --Myrabella (talk) 20:36, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support I still guess that it would be appropriate to have an image including the Main river for that scope. However, compared with the present VI, I support this challenger because it depicts a larger part of the town, carefully documented with annotations. At the review size, this geocoded QI looks good on-screen (although I tend to prefer the rendering of the other image). Last point, it is well categorized => OK to me, all criteria met. --Myrabella (talk) 08:31, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment For this town, I imagine it would be appropriate to have an image showing the Main River if possible (I noticed 1 or 2, for instance, but better examples may exist)? --Myrabella (talk) 14:37, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, the second image you point out fails to show the city centre. The first one is taken from a skyscraper in the city centre, thus giving only a partial vue of it. It's a multi-criteria optimization problem now: is it more relevant to show a full view of the visually prominent skyscraper zone of the city or to show the river? Feel free to set up an MVR if you deem it necessary. --Eusebius (talk) 06:59, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You have brought out the issue very clearly. I tend to incline towards the second option: an image showing the river (it is Frankfurt am Main, after all :-), some "old" buildings (the town has a long history) and an evocation of "Mainhattan" (even only partially) could well epitomize the scope too. What would you think of File:Skyline Frankfurt.jpg, by Der Wolf im Wald too? --Myrabella (talk) 11:52, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support I slightly favor this one, which gives a wider view of the city. It would seem strange to have a city scope and focus on a few buildings in a small area when we have this kind of picture. --Eusebius (talk) 22:19, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
