Image:Kaiseradler Aquila heliaca 2 amk.jpg - featured[edit]

Aquila heliaca

You are mistaken. The image Image:Kaiseradler Aquila heliaca e amk.jpg was featured.--Mbz1 05:56, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To both of you. I think it is a different composition and atmosphere in this pic. I also had your thought for a moment but then I remembered how many bees, hoverflies and wasps of the exact same species we have as FP already. So I see no reason not to nominate this additional eagle-pic. And in the end what is wrong about having several FPs of one and the same subject? You never know what kind of pic someone searchs and needs. And with FP we want to give a source for good pictures...at least that's how I think about it.--AngMoKio 17:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hm...to be consequent you should start nominating a lot of insect FPs for delisting now. You are aware of that, right? And I really don't understand your reasons...what is wrong about having 2 different pictures of the same bird on the same day? How do you know that someone is not searching for a pic where the front of the bird is visible?! What is in your opinion the purpose of FP?! And if I might add that: To oppose because of those reasons says that you don't judge the photo itself but follow your own rules that don't exist in the FP criteria. --AngMoKio 06:22, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are right, I do not know, if somebody is or is not searching for a pic where the front of the bird is visible. That's why I suggested adding the image to other_versions of the aleady featured picture. If I'm looking for an image of a specific bird or animal, I'd rather go to category and see all images availabale.You are also right about insect images. There are many almost the same. I'm not going to nominate them on delisting because I'm afraid I will not succeed. IMO the more images of the same subjects FP has the less value each image and FP in general have. IMO the biggest purpose of FP is to educate, to introduce an interesting, high quality image to a Wikipedia reader and let the reader an opportunity to learn more about the subject.May I please ask you a question too? Why, when Karelj has changed his/her vote to support the image, you did not tell him/her that the other one got featured?

Anyway, I believe this image would also get featured, so no worries. Thank you.--Mbz1 13:09, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear MBZ i am not permanently present on commons. I can't always check if someone misunderstood sth. Thank you. --AngMoKio 22:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Great eyes. --Manco Capac 07:08, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose There is already one featured picture that is nearly identical in subject matter. As a matter of fact, I've often requested the delisting of duplicate images and am happy to support those delistings. As per Mbz1, this is a matter of the purpose of a FP, to feature the very best and to not allow duplicates. -- Ram-Man 11:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a duplicate. It is another picture. But it doesn't make sense to discuss as we have completly different opinions about FP. For me it is a source for the best pictures of commons. I don't see a reason why not all great pictures of bees, eagles, flowers or what ever should get featured. We are not only talking about the subject on the picture but also about different compositions. --AngMoKio 22:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
result: 9 support, 4 oppose >> featured -- Alvesgaspar 09:01, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
