Image:2006-01-28 drop-impact backjet.jpg - not featured
[edit]- Info created, uploaded and nominated by Roger McLassus -- 06:46, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- I hesitated for two months before nominating this picture because of the suboptimal lighting, which I was unable to avoid with my limited technical equipment. But finally I have made up my mind for nomination and Support because such a backjet is very difficult to catch. Roger McLassus 06:46, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

- Support -- even though the thumb looks average, the fullsize image is great! -- Boereck 09:09, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose -- My english is bad but I hope everybody will understand me(:-|)... Ok, it's a good photo, but... how many photos of drop impacts must be included in WikiCommons and featured (I personnally prefer Image:2006-01-28 Drop-impact.jpg and Image:2006-02-13 Drop-impact.jpg)? Is it a competition for the one who will have the greatest number of photos featured? What's the interest for WikiCommons? I believe that people should think more about the cost of the memory space for the Wikimedia foundation... El Comandante 13:20, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- The backjet shown in this picture is a characteristic hydrodynamic phenomenon and cannot be found in any other picture in the commons yet. Backjets are normally invisible since they last too short a time for the human eye. So the scientific and encyclopedic value of such a photo is considerable. Roger McLassus 15:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- Just a note, the developers have repeatedly flagged that "running out of space" is not an issue. So I personally do not accept this argument as valid, especially when en.wp allows an increasing variety of cruft articles, from pokemon-cruft to porn-cruft to whatever... Very likely we don't need any more pictures of certain subjects (sunsets!), but it doesn't seem to be in the wiki spirit to restrict people from adding them. pfctdayelise (translate?) 02:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
