Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Mourning for victims of 2018 Shanghai knife attack
Used in	Global usage zh:2018年上海市世界外国语小学砍人事件
Reason	It depicts an historic or rare event, that neighborhoods and parents gathered at Shanghai World Foreign Language Primary School West Guilin Street campus to mourn victims in 2018 Shanghai knife attack, which has a high historic value and encyclopediac value. -- A1Cafel (talk)
Review (criteria)	Previous reviews  Comment. A very sad occasion. But I can't see much in the picture because the main part is grossly overexposed. I am amazed that this photo is marked as "one of the most outstanding image files". -- Spurzem (talk) 11:31, 14 July 2022 (UTC)  Support This photo was declined at QIC because of the fault you mention and others, but it's clear enough as a thumbnail and on the file page to be useful. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:34, 14 July 2022 (UTC) @Ikan Kekek: Should we not see especially on a valuable picture what it wants to say? I recognize a group of people, some with smartphones and camera, one man seems to be praying, but the partly overexposed picture says nothing more. Maybe that it is useful to illustrate an article but I don't think that it is a VI. -- Spurzem (talk) 21:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC) We simply disagree, which is fine. I think it's clearly an outdoor shrine to people who died, with a crowd of reverent people around it. And if it's useful to illustrate an article on the subject, that makes it a VI to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:00, 15 July 2022 (UTC)  Support per Ikan. --GRDN711 (talk) 01:05, 17 July 2022 (UTC) Result: 2 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
