Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This star, with one point broken, symbolizes the featured candidates on Wikipedia.

Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article. Taking the adage that "a picture is worth a thousand words", the images featured on Wikipedia:Featured pictures should illustrate a Wikipedia article in such a way as to add significantly to that article, according to the featured picture criteria.

Promoting an image

If you believe an image should be featured, create a subpage (use the "For Nominations" field, below) and add the subpage to the current nominations section.

For promotion, if an image is listed here for ten days with five or more reviewers in support and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Featured pictures list. Consensus is generally regarded to be a two-thirds majority in support, including the nominator and/or creator of the image; however, anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets.

All users may comment. However, only those who have been on Wikipedia for 25 days and with at least 100 edits will be included in the numerical count. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis. Nominations started in December are given three extra days, due to the holidays slowing down activity here.

The archive contains all opinions and comments collected for candidate nominations and their nomination results.

If you nominate an image here, please consider also uploading and nominating it at Commons to help ensure that the pictures can be used not just in the English Wikipedia but on all other Wikimedia projects as well.

Delisting an image

A featured picture can be nominated for delisting if you feel it no longer lives up to featured picture standards. You may also request a featured picture be replaced with a superior image. Create a subpage (use the "For Delists" field, below) and add the subpage to the current nominations section.

Please leave a note on the talk page of the original FPC nominator (and creator/uploader, if appropriate) to let them know the delisting is being debated. The user may be able to address the issues and avoid the delisting of the picture.

For delisting, if an image is listed here for ten days with five or more reviewers supporting a delist or replace, and the consensus is in its favor, it will be delisted from Wikipedia:Featured pictures. Consensus is generally regarded to be a two-thirds majority in support, including the nominator. Note that anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets. However, images are sometimes delisted despite having fewer than five in support of their removal, and there is currently no consensus on how best to handle delist closures, except that:If the image to be delisted is not used in any articles by the time of closure, it must be delisted. If it is added to articles during the nomination, at least one week's stability is required for the nomination to be closed as "Kept". The nomination may be suspended if a week hasn't yet passed to give the rescue a chance.

Outside of the nominator, all voters are expected to have been on Wikipedia for 25 days and to have made a minimum of 100 edits. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis. As with regular nominations, delist nominations are given three extra days to run if started in December.

  • Note that delisting an image does not mean deleting it. Delisting from Featured pictures in no way affects the image's status in its article(s).

How to comment for Candidate Images

  • Write Support, if you approve of the picture. A reason is optional.
  • Write Oppose, followed by your reasoning, if you disapprove of the picture. All objections should be accompanied by a specific rationale that, if addressed, would make you support the image. If your concern is one that can only be addressed by the creator, and if they haven't nominated or commented on the image, and if they are a Wikipedian, you should notify them directly.
  • You can weak support or weak oppose instead, so that your opinion will be weighed as half of a "full" opinion.
    • To change your opinion, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.
  • If you think a nominated image obviously fails the featured picture criteria, write Speedy close followed by your reasons. Nominations may be closed early if this is the case.
Recommendations added early in the process may be disregarded if they do not address concerns and/or improvements that arise later in the debate. Reviewers are advised to monitor the progress of a nomination and update their votes accordingly.
Prior to giving an opinion, the image should be assessed on its quality as displayed at full size (high-resolution) in an image editing program. Please note that the images are only displayed at thumbnail size on this page. The thumbnail links to the image description page which, in turn, links to the high-resolution version.

How to comment for Delist Images

  • Write Keep, followed by your reasons for keeping the picture.
  • Write Delist, followed by your reasons for delisting the picture.
  • Write Delist and Replace if you believe the image should be replaced by a better picture.
  • You can weak keep, weak delist or weak delist and replace instead, so that your opinion will be weighed as half of a "full" opinion.
    • To change your opinion, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.
Please remember to be civil, not to bite the newbies and to comment on the image, not the person.

You may find the glossary useful when you encounter acronyms or jargon in other voters' comments. You can also link to it by using {{FPCgloss}}.

Editing candidates

If you feel you could improve a candidate by image editing, please feel free to do so, but do not overwrite or remove the original. Instead, upload your edit with a different file name (e.g., add "edit" to the file name), and display it below the original nomination. Edits should be appropriately captioned in sequential order (e.g., Edit 1, Edit 2, etc), and describe the modifications that have been applied.

Is my monitor adjusted correctly?

Gray contrast test image.svg

In a discussion about the brightness of an image, it is necessary to know if the computer display is properly adjusted. Displays differ greatly in their ability to show shadow detail. There are four dark grey circles in the adjacent image. If you can discern three (or even four) of the circles, your monitor can display shadow detail correctly. If you see fewer than three circles, you may need to adjust the monitor and/or computer display settings. Some displays cannot be adjusted for ideal shadow detail. Please take this into account when voting.

Highlight test image.svg

Displays also differ greatly in their ability to show highlight detail. There are light grey circles in the adjacent image. If you can discern three (or even four) of the circles, your monitor can display highlight detail correctly. If you see fewer than three circles, you may need to adjust the monitor and/or computer display settings (probably reduce the contrast setting). Some displays cannot be adjusted for ideal highlight detail. Please take this into account when voting.

Colortest.png

On a gamma-adjusted display, the four circles in the color image blend into the background when seen from a few feet (roughly 75–150 cm) away. If they do not, you could adjust the gamma setting (found in the computer's settings, not on the display), until they do. This may be very difficult to attain, and a slight error is not detrimental. Uncorrected PC displays usually show the circles darker than the background.

Note that on most consumer LCD displays (laptop or flat screen), viewing angle strongly affects these images. Correct adjustment on one part of the screen might be incorrect on another part for a stationary head position. Click on the images for more technical information. If possible, calibration with a hardware monitor calibrator is recommended.

Current nominations[edit]

Kenje Ogata[edit]

Voting period ends on 18 Mar 2022 at 00:31:12 (UTC)

Original – Kenje Ogata, one of five documented Nisei to serve in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II, in 1943.
Reason
Ignoring the normal requirement that an image be in an article for a while since there were no images in the article before this. Lucked out on being able to find this. Restoration is... Heh. Really not much. Maybe a dozen spots, hence I'm not listing myself in the creator field on here

That said, I think it's a strong image. Decent resolution; very slightly soft focus, but that seems intentional, and, since he's most famous for being a Japanese-American who served in WWII despite the prejudice against Japanese-Americans at the time.

Nikola Tesla, Colorado Springs Laboratory (2)[edit]

Voting period ends on 16 Mar 2022 at 18:39:54 (UTC)

Original – Nikola Tesla in his laboratory in Colorado Springs, U.S., in 1899, next to his "magnifying transmitter"
Reason
Renominating this. I removed the handwritten inscription per discussion in previous nomination.

A photo of Nicola Tesla's work, a pioneer in AC electric power generation and distribution, and co-inventor of the Induction motor. Also known for Tesla coil, Tesla (unit) and Tesla (car). This is probably the most iconic photo of his work. At the time, the photo was used to promote his work. In this photo he is sitting in his laboratory in Colorado Springs, U.S., next to his magnifying transmitter. This photo is still used in books and articles [1] [2] [3]. The photo was shot in multiple-exposures (i.e. the film was exposed with and without him present).

    • @ User:Charlesjsharp You are wrong. It's the other way around, the one with writing was "edited" at the time the print was made - the area was dodged out during printing, to leave space for a hand-written note. Proof: put both images in their own tabs, switch between them. You can see that the one with the writing has the floor lightened, but the same floor details are there in both versions. Do it and you see why I support. --Janke | Talk 21:48, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I see what you mean, but can we be sure that there is no version with the original floorboards? That seems unlikely. Surely more likely that we have only seen retouched images. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:19, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • I think these are the original floorboards, since they are the same in both images, lightened and not. Back then, you could hardly "clone" photo details, and the one with writing is definitely from 1901 - dated by Tesla himself... ;-) --Janke | Talk 19:39, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Benjamin Franklin Tilley[edit]

Voting period ends on 16 Mar 2022 at 13:48:19 (UTC)

Original – Benjamin Franklin Tilley, naval officer and first governor of American Samoa
Reason
I place this at 1896-1901 by the rank insignia, so this seems a decent photo for its time, although it does fall into the period where lighting effects - extreme shadows and such - became popular. This is also the period where you're starting to exchange resolution for the speed, but that's not entirely a bad thing as it does have character and expression to it that a slow photo might not have. Editing history of the article (twice in all of 2021) shows little need to worry about waiting very long for it to settle in.

  • Support as nominator – Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 13:48, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A little lightening on the left would improve it... --Janke | Talk 17:41, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • That feels inaccurate to the original image, especially as it's not something fixable with a basic exposure correction without causing changes in his uniform. The chiaroscuro effect is definitely something photographers were very much trying for in this era, and the clarity of the eye in the shadowed portion shows a very effective usage of it, even if it's out of fashion now. There are two known pictures of him. This is definitely the better one. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 19:05, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Or, more succinctly, "It's a style that was popular at the time, and, because it's as dark as parts of his uniform, there's no simple, non-destructive way to change the decision of the photographer." Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 20:33, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would assume that the contrast has increased during all the scanning & editing stages. Old photos from this period seldom had jet-black areas - compare with the "postcards" seen here recently... --Janke | Talk 22:08, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Janke: You'd be surprised. But given the relative unpopularity of the technique nowadays, we tend not to see examples of it nowadays. It was pretty popular from about 1890 to the early 1920s. P.G. Wodehouse even has a lengthy comedic rant about how great modern photography is for dealing with ugly bastards like himself by hiding them in darkness. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 04:34, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • But I suppose that we're both making valid points here. You think the face being better lit on the left would make a better photo. And, certainly it would by any modern standard. But given that dark navy-blue uniform is basically as dark as his face except where the wrinkles catch the bright lights, it's kind of hard to change the past, and I think that the dark shadow was the photographer's intent (and I'm also a bit worried because photographic grain can look odd if you don't handle adjustments pretty subtly). On the upside, I'd say as these things go, the detail in the dark portion is impressive. I've seen worse-photographed eyes in light.

Banks of San Luis Reservoir in July 2021[edit]

Original – San Luis Reservoir in July 2021, taken from California State Route 152
Reason
This is a good photo, that shows a lot of clear detail and is composed well. One of my favorites that I've taken. Clearly shows the decrease in water level ("bathtub rings"), as well as the topography of the region.

Hen Harlequin Duck[edit]

Voting period ends on 13 Mar 2022 at 22:48:04 (UTC)

Original – A Hen Harlequin relaxes on a large rock at the Barnegat Inlet in Ocean County, NJ.
Reason
I was very close to this bird, with excellent lighting, a shutter speed that was overkill, a reasonably low ISO and a focal length less than the maximum for my lens (360mm / 400mm.) As a result this image is tack sharp with low noise and captures a single hen harlequin in a natural setting with no distraction. The feather detail is, in my opinion, exquisite. This image is 7600 px wide.

  • Oppose Clumsily added to article 2 March, so not eligible for FP. User has inflated view of his photographic abilities.

    • I think you're being a little unfair, Charles, there's a lot to like about this. The newness is the big issue here, but the feathers are well defined. Angle, in my opinion, is the biggest issue: too much of the duck is tucked in behind itself, but we've certainly passed worse than this.

Cabinet card of Sojourner Truth[edit]

Voting period ends on 10 Mar 2022 at 22:41:15 (UTC)

Original – Cabinet card of Sojourner Truth, which she sold to raise money to support herself and continue her work. Purchased in 1870 from a photograph copyrighted to her in 1864.
Reason
While I kind of agree with the other photo being the lead, Sojourner Truth sold photographs of herself to support her work, and this is the only one in the article that shows that. It's also really not an article we have a lot of photographs for.
Fun fact: This is the same image used on most of the extant carte-de-visites of her, but in a much more generous crop and higher quality since it's a cabinet card. Which presumably means she had the negatives, since there weren't cabinet cards in 1864. Compare commons:Category:Sojourner Truth

Nominations — to be closed[edit]

Nominations in this category are older than ten days and are to be closed. New votes will no longer be accepted.

Older nominations requiring additional input from users[edit]

These nominations have been moved here because consensus is impossible to determine without additional input from those who participated in the discussion. Usually this is because there was more than one edit of the image available, and no clear preference for one of them was determined. If you voted on these images previously, please update your vote to specify which edit(s) you are supporting.

Closing procedure[edit]

A script is available that automates the majority of these tasks: User:Jujutacular/closeFPC

When NOT promoted, perform the following:

  1. Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/subpage:
    {{FPCresult|Not promoted| }} --~~~~
    • Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
  2. If the nominator is new to FPC, consider placing {{subst:NotpromotedFPC|Image name}} on their talk page. To avoid overuse, do not use the template when in doubt.

When promoted, perform the following:

  1. Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/subpage:
    {{FPCresult|Promoted|File:FILENAME.JPG}} --~~~~
    • Replace FILENAME.JPG with the name of the file that was promoted. It should show up as:
    Promoted File:FILENAME.JPG
    • Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
  2. Add the image to:
  3. Add the image to the proper sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures - newest on top.
    The caption for a Wikipedian created image should read "Description at Article, by Creator". For a non-Wikipedian, it should be similar, but if the creator does not have an article, use an external link if appropriate. For images with substantial editing by one or more Wikipedians, but created by someone else, use "Description at Article, by Creator (edited by Editor)" (all editors involved should be clear from the nomination). Additionally, the description is optional - if it's essentially the same as the article title, then just use "Article, by Creator". Numerous examples can be found on the various Featured Pictures subpages.
  4. Add the image to the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures - newest on left and remove the oldest from the right so that there are always three in each section.
  5. Add the Featured Picture tag and star to the image page using {{Featured picture|page_name}} (replace page_name with the nomination page name, i.e., the page_name from Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/page_name). To add this template you most likely will have to click the "create" button on the upper right if the "edit" button is not present, generally if the image originates from Commons.
  6. If an edited or alternative version of the originally nominated image is promoted, make sure that all articles contain the Featured Picture version, as opposed to the original.
  7. Notify the nominator or co-nominators by placing {{subst:PromotedFPC|File:file_name.xxx}} on each nominator's talk page. For example: {{subst:PromotedFPC|File:Blue morpho butterfly.jpg}}.
  8. If the image was created by a Wikipedian, place {{subst:UploadedFP|File:file_name.xxx}} on the creator's talk page. For example: {{subst:UploadedFP|File:Blue morpho butterfly.jpg}}.

Then perform the following, regardless of the outcome:

  1. Move the nomination entry to the top of the "Recently closed nominations" section. It will remain there for three days after closing so others can review the nomination. This is done by simply moving the line {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Page name}} to the top of the section.
  2. Add the nomination entry to the bottom of the March archive. This is done by simply adding the line {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Page name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive.
  3. If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.

Delist closing procedure[edit]

Note that delisting an image does not equal deleting it. Delisting from Featured pictures in no way affects the image's status in its article/s.

If consensus is to KEEP featured picture status, and the image is used in at least one article, perform the following:

  1. Check that the image has been in the article for at least one week. Otherwise, suspend the nomination to give it time to stabilize before continuing.
  2. Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
    {{FPCresult|Kept|}} --~~~~
    • Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
  3. Optionally leave a note on the picture's talk page.

If consensus is to DELIST, or the image is unused (and consensus is not for a replacement that is used), perform the following:

  1. Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
    {{FPCresult|Delisted|}} --~~~~
    • Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
  2. Replace the {{Featured picture}} tag from the image with {{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/''Image name''}}.
  3. Remove the image from the appropriate sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures and the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs.

If consensus is to REPLACE (and at least one of the images is used in articles), perform the following:

  1. Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
    {{FPCresult|Replaced|}} with File:NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME.JPG --~~~~
    • Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
    • Replace NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME.JPG with the name of the replacement file.
  2. Replace the {{Featured picture}} tag from the delisted image with {{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/''Image name''}}.
  3. Update the replacement picture's tag, adding the tag {{Featured picture|delist/image_name}} (replace image_name with the nomination page name, i.e., the image_name from Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/delist/image_name). Remove any no longer applicable tags from the original, replacement and from any other alternatives. If the alternatives were on Commons and no longer have any tags, be sure to tag the description page with {{missing image}}.
  4. Replace the delisted Featured Picture in all articles with the new replacement Featured Picture version. Do NOT replace the original in non-article space, such as Talk Pages, FPC nominations, archives, etc.
  5. Ensure that the replacement image is included on the appropriate sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures and the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs. Do this by replacing the original image with the new replacement image; do not add the replacement as a new Featured Picture.

Then perform the following, regardless of the outcome:

  1. Move the nomination entry to the top of the "Recently closed nominations" section. It will remain there for three days after closing so others can review the nomination. This is done by simply moving the line {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Image name}} to the top of the section.
  2. Add the nomination entry to the bottom of the archived delist nominations. This is done by simply adding the line {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Image name}} to the bottom of the appropriate section of the archive.
  3. If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.

The opposition above enunciates clearly my reason for cutting back my participation in the FPC process: too many participants care only about pretty pictures of charismatic megafauna and postcard landscapes, pushing out the encyclopedic but non-photogenic images. If you want that, go to Commons; they have their own FPC whose rules don't focus as much on encyclopedic content. This sort of image is exactly the sort of thing we should be including here, to differentiate Wikipedia FPC from commons (or would, except that commons actually passed this image already). —David Eppstein (talk) 20:54, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I'm not sure what "readily accessible visual information" the picture is lacking; I mean, it's obviously a map of India.

Henry Highland Garnet[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 3 Mar 2022 at 05:04:39 (UTC)

Original – Henry Highland Garnet was an African-American abolitionist, minister, educator and orator. Having escaped as a child from slavery in Maryland with his family, he grew up in New York City. He was educated at the African Free School and other institutions, and became an advocate of militant abolitionism. He became a minister and based his drive for abolitionism in religion. Garnet was a prominent member of the movement that led beyond moral suasion toward more political action. Renowned for his skills as a public speaker, he urged black Americans to take action and claim their own destinies.
Reason
For 1881, this is a damn good image, especially printed. I can certainly point at much worse from the time. Lots of shine on the head, but, well, as I said, it's from about 1881 and he died a year later, so... Mount was very plain and the border was absolutely hideous - messy background - so I didn't think it worth trying to get it in the image.

John Henry Turpin[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 28 Feb 2022 at 03:24:29 (UTC)

Original – John Henry "Dick" Turpin was one of the first African American Chief Petty Officers in the U.S. Navy. He is also notable for surviving the catastrophic explosions of two U.S. Navy ships: USS Maine in 1898, and USS Bennington in 1905.
Reason
While I don't think the photo is perfect - it looks to me like his head moved very slightly - it's also a fairly iconic image of him, compare, say, [5], and his grave here, or this set of exhibition photos. I think the historic merit, the quality, and the paucity of images of him excuses some things. I'm also not entirely sure the issues aren't just down to him being African-American: I could totally see "darker skin, so longer exposure so the facial details come out".

Original – Edward Mitchell Bannister (1828 – 1901) was an oil painter of the American Barbizon school. Born in Canada, he spent his adult life in New England in the United States. There, along with his wife Christiana Carteaux Bannister, he was a prominent member of African-American cultural and political communities, such as the Boston abolition movement. Bannister received national recognition after he won a first prize in painting at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. He was also a founding member of the Providence Art Club and the Rhode Island School of Design.

  • It is technically correct to omit the ssp for the nominate species like this one. I now put in the ssp even for nominate ssp as it makes it easier for my file naming and for VI here.

That is from the back, mind. You'd have to actively walk away from most of the stuff on Calton Hill to see that side of it,whereas the proposed image is the front side that it was "intended" to be seen from. I'd say your proposal is the better photo, though it is the same rough angle as the view from Salisbury Crags, the next photo in the article after the infobox, which I'm guessing is the reason it doesn't appear Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 17:09, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    • Should we? I think sometimes iconic photos can be ruined by changing them for accuracy. In this case, it was colour corrected fifty years later based on a different photograph in different lighting. I'm not entirely sure of the methodolog, given we have to ask how much any photo can exactly reflect the human eye. There's no one right answer as to exposure. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 17:14, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Nonetheless, digital white-balancing is considerably more accurate nowadays than the chemical processing from the 1970s. NASA themselves have released various chromatically-altered versions through out the years (https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/the-blue-marble-the-view-from-apollo-17) and yet we stick by the purple version.

  • Comment – FWIW the film frames are at this link. The nominated frame/capture AS17-148-22727 is here. Two frames earlier is the AS17-148-22725 here and it's different. The end frame of the '148' magazine (presumably the color calibration) is here. For comparison, we have this. Bammesk (talk) 20:07, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • The large resolution .PNGs are already color-processed by ASU and are, in fact, copyrighted by the university. The copyright-free 1.2 GB raw file is where you want to start if you want to color-calibrate it yourself. The original pic is quite dark and how you interpret the gamma will greatly affect the look when correcting exposure.
      BTW: nice photo from the ISS Cupola you got there! The blues in the ocean look remarkably similar to the blues in this photo. Aaron1a12 (talk) 00:59, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Nom image has better colors than this older version, but it looks overexposed (by about half a stop i.e. 0.5EV) (just the midtones, not the highlights). I support if it's adjusted. About the comparison-image, I think it's background is overexposed too (overexposure of bright spots is common in high dynamic range photos). Bammesk (talk) 03:19, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison of notable bridges to scale[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 22 Feb 2022 at 03:18:42 (UTC)

Original – Comparison of elevations of some notable bridges at the same scale
Reason
Photos of famous bridges do not adequately show how large they are compared to one another. This SVG shows them all at the same scale, and lets the viewer highlight them interactively. Additionally, the Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, the first bridge in 20+ years to become the world's longest span, is planned to open on 2022-02-26,ref and I think it appropriate to mark the occasion.

    • I got the profiles from [6] and [7], respectively. The engineering drawings show that the spans are measured from the towers' centrelines. The much wider base above water of the Akashi bridge makes it look like it has a significantly smaller span if one assumes that the span is measured from the inner part of the piers. cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 18:15, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Cmglee, I checked the Çanakkale bridge on google maps: it extends about 3000 ft to the left of the west tower and 4000 ft to the right of the east tower. Looking at the SVG file at full screen size on my browser, the Çanakkale bridge extends more than 3000/4000 ft !? Although, looking at Google Earth, maybe I am looking at it wrong.

            • Cmglee, never mind, I struck everything above that confused me. Your drawing has slightly wider grids on the left half, because of the meters to feet conversion, and that threw me off.

  • Drive-by comment. I saw this at the science reference desk[9] and, on coming here, was taken aback by the superimposed version at the top.

Edmonia Lewis[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 21 Feb 2022 at 20:06:00 (UTC)

Original – Edmonia Lewis, or "Wildfire" to give her Ojibwe name, was a sculptor of the Neoclassical school, internationally popular for a time before Neoclassical art fell out of favour, now being rediscovered
Reason
While the age - 1870 - is somewhat going against the image quality: The original negatives, if they exist, tend to be far, far better than actual prints can be from that age - I think the quality of the image shines through. We also get a really good look, on her left-hand side (right as you're looking at it) at an example of one of the devices meant to help the sitter stay still long enough for the lengthy exposure cameras of the period needed. It's a very nice photograph of a notable person. One could argue as to whether this was intended to be cropped; if you want an alt, we can consider File:Edmonia Lewis by Henry Rocher (cropped).jpg
