Comment - I think these two pictures should have different nominations. They are from different creators and have both the chance of promotion. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does it really matter? Voters could say yay to both, one of them or none of them. Nergaal (talk) 17:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not so, only one picture can be promoted in a given nomination. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:50, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, then take the first as the original and the second as an alt. Nergaal (talk) 17:54, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Two are sometimes promoted in one; as "male and female", these wouldn't make a bad set, though I admit two separate nominations would probably be best. Nominations like this often cause confusion/lead to problems. J Milburn (talk) 12:03, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removed second altogether. Nergaal (talk) 14:54, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why aren't people voting on this? What is it missing? Nergaal (talk) 06:30, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The opposes and discussion at the German FPC give a clue: [1]. Along the same lines as Purpy Pupple's comment, the head is slightly unsharp. Maedin\^talk 20:04, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support good picture! It seems that the head and thorax are less sharp than the wing, but meh, it's good enough. Nice and encyclopedic. Purpy Pupple (talk) 11:20, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
