Hillary Clinton, January 2007 edit

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 8 Sep 2010 at 21:41:37 (UTC)

 
At Gallaudet University in Washington DC, where SEIU local union leaders individually questioned Hillary and seven other Democratic presidential hopefuls.
Reason
Personally, I think it is a great picture. In the past, concerns of how "every politician has a picture like this" have been expressed, but this, I think, is a live action shot. Furthermore, she is important. Having pushed for health care reform, she also is a Secretary of State. Wikipedia currently has no featured pictures of her.

  • Oppose. Quality's good and it's interesting as a portrait (that may be a positive or a negative, I'm yet to decide, personally) but I'm not really seeing what it's adding to the article. It's just another picture of her. J Milburn (talk) 21:58, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per J Milburn. Note also that while it might be thrilling to be a regular Joe Blow and to get this sort of close-up of her, the lighting and contrast and brightness (etc.) is substandard here as far as what it takes to qualify for FP status.

  • Comment It's always good to link to the last failed nomination if a picture was nominated unsuccessfully before, Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Hillary Clinton II. The derivative work here is me removing the noise in the background of the image which was done due to the last nomination. — raekyt 05:20, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • How did you know this was previously nominated? Is there a feature that let's you know something was previously nominated? Gut Monk (talk) 14:22, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • It would take some detective-work and you can certainly be forgiven for overlooking such a thing. You’d have to go to this image’s file page and then scroll down to see if your envisioned nomination is a derivative, which it is (of File:Sen. Hillary Clinton 2007.jpg). You click that earlier version and scroll down to see where it has/is being used. One of those is Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Hillary Clinton (where the nom for FP status got ignored to death). (*whew*)

        Either you do that, or you have to have been one of the regular “innies” here to recognize that this image had been here well over a year ago. You apparently haven’t been handed your Ovaltine decoder ring yet to signal “inny” status. Go hide in shame, you detestable newbie. ;-) Raeky might have an even slicker way to figure this one out I’m not aware of; I haven’t earned my decoder ring yet so I’m still navel lint too. Looking for previous nominations is not documented in our FP directions. Now someone will jump my bones for not figuring out that this had been discussed on WP:Village Pump back in 1991 on ARPANET.

        • There was a discussion about just this topic a little while back. Worth a read, actually. J Milburn (talk) 19:00, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well considering this is an image I worked on in the past to clear up the noise, I immediately recognized it, kinda have an advantage here for this specific picture. :P Plus this image is linked in the previous nomination, so in it's usage you see a second featured picture nom page. Easist way is to look at usage for the image on the image page there you can see the FPC pages it's linked on... Pretty much a dead giveaway if it's been nom'd before if it's linked into a FPC sub-page and not a featured picture. — raekyt 21:43, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

              • Aha, eureka! Thanks, Greg. (Noob) Gut Monk (talk) 00:52, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per J Milburn -- mcshadypl TC 01:55, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
