  • I fully understand your point, IamMM, and agree that we should be cautious. I can only judge from the available indications. Even when examining the image with adjusted tonal levels in Photoshop, I can make out some grain in the background. So I'm hesitant to draw any firm conclusions and think it's best to keep an open mind. I really appreciate your thoughtful and considerate perspective.

Cassini captured the 30 frames required to construct this mosaic on 23 July 2008, from a distance of about a million kilometers. About a year before Saturn's equinox, the ring shadows have shifted from where they were early in Cassini's mission to a fat arc a little above the equator.

That sounds like a political proclamation. There was a public referendum in Crimea to return to Russia. Occupation was not needed because, historically, there has been an almost universal pro-Russian sentiment in Crimea. --Argenberg (talk) 21:01, 11 October 2026 (UTC)reply
  •  Comment I fully agree with George. To keep it factual: UN General Assembly Resolution 68/262 stated that the 2014 referendum had no validity as a basis for changing Crimea's status and reaffirmed Ukraine's territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. In April 2014, Putin himself acknowledged that Russian servicemen had supported the Crimean self-defence forces. Subsequent UN resolutions have explicitly referred to Crimea as temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory. These documented facts show that describing Crimea as occupied territory is grounded in international law and documented history, rather than being merely a political proclamation. I realise this discussion is primarily about photography, but I believe it is also legitimate to clarify the historical facts when they are brought into question. I am expressing my view in support of a fellow contributor, based on documented facts and official sources.-- Radomianin (talk) 08:40, 12 October 2026 (UTC)reply
The cited UN General Assembly Resolution does not provide any historical facts, nor does it present a documented history. It reads as a declaration, or a short assessment at best. Yes, some 10,000 troops were transported to Crimea in 2014, in addition to the 15,000 already stationed legally on the peninsula. This was known and publicly documented long before Putin's announcement. The historical fact is that they were not used as an occupying force, aside from several isolated incidents involving silent standoffs and the blocking of a few military bases and one administrative building in Simferopol. There was widespread enthusiasm and public commitment to a free and open referendum. By late 2014, over 90% of the Crimean population had received Russian passports via personal applications. Crimea was fully integrated into the Russian legal system, and some 2.5 million people have lived there happily ever after as an integral part of Russia. I am not a lawyer, but as far as I know, General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding. UN General Assembly Resolution 68/262 neither provides historical facts regarding the public referendum, nor does it constitute international law by itself; rather, it offers an interpretation, and a rather conflicting one, because it contradicts Article 1.2 of the United Nations Charter “to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace”. --Argenberg (talk) 00:01, 13 October 2026 (UTC)reply
For me, it is great as it is because it puts me into a solemn, meditative, yet analytical mood where one can appreciate the textures and colors of the rocks and shrubs against the sea backdrop. With the sun setting or rising, it would be just one of many cliche photos with sunset hues washing over everything, hiding the texture, flattening the colors. You can be sober and meditative during sunset, but you can’t really be analytical. It would be just another sunset mood picture. --Argenberg (talk) 21:01, 11 October 2026 (UTC)reply

  •  Keep Your statement is correct, but this is not the way we usually deal with this problem. In the good old times, animations and the like were always promoted to featured picture status, not yet to featured media status. You can find all of them on Commons:Featured pictures/Animated, a gallery page which is kept as an archive. It does not make much sense (and means useless work for all of us) to delist every single one of these animations, just in order to nominate them again on Commons:Featured media candidates. Please consider that there are far less participants in FM discussions, and that there is not even am official maintainer for the FM candidates and gallery pages; delisting and renomination all these animations would just shift the burden on the two or three volunteers who kindly help out with counting, closing and archiving the FM nominations. – If we really think that we must change the status quo of all these featured animations, I would rather suggest a general discussion and a concerted action. Open a new discussion on Commons talk:Featured picture candidates and propose that we change the status of all these featured animations by replacing the {{Assessments}} template with a {{FM promoted}} template and replace the ‘Featured picutures of …’ categories by the corresponding ‘Featured media of …’ categories. (Technical hint: the {{FM promoted}} template usually links to subpages of Commons:Featured media candidates, but we can create redirects which would be linked from the {{FM promoted}} and just redirect users to the original FP nomination.) Let’s discuss this for a while and vote on it. If a majority of users votes for transforming all featured animations to featured media, I can handle this and update all image description pages etc. That’s my proposal.

Mile, it is a very special lighting situation, and colors can be like this in shallow tropical lagoons under clouds. The original version seems too pale to me, and not “true”. But I made a new version with the vibrance lowered to just +15. That is a very modest value for sensors from the late 2000s. Olympus used Sony sensors in their cameras. I believe this particular camera (E-P1) had a sensor manufactured by Sony. --Argenberg (talk) 11:39, 5 October 2026 (UTC)reply
  • I think it was Panas Live-MOS. Later they used Sony. But using dont tell much, there were 1-2 producers, but codec on chip was more important. For me, Panas GH have best i've seen. Here, to much green etc, for my taste. --Mile (talk) 15:38, 5 October 2026 (UTC) p.S: Make Alternative.reply

Fjerning av utmerket-status

[edit]

Etterhvert hender det at statusen for utmerka bilder endres. Bilder som tidligere var bra nok, vil kanskje ikke lenger bli ansett som det. Her listes bilder som du ikke lenger synes fortjener å være det. Da trengs to tredels majoritet (og minst fem stemmer) som er enig i å fjerne statusen fra bildet. Dersom ikke to tredeler av stemmene er enig i å fjerne statusen, blir den beholdt. Her stemmer man med {{keep}} (behold bildet som utmerka) eller {{delist}} (bildet fortjener ikke lenger å være utmerka). Når du nominerer et bilde her, ta med lenka til den opprinnelige nominasjonen (den finnes under Lenker på bildets beskrivelsesside. Bruk denne lenka for å legge til en fjerningskandidat.

  • I fully understand your point, IamMM, and agree that we should be cautious. I can only judge from the available indications. Even when examining the image with adjusted tonal levels in Photoshop, I can make out some grain in the background.

Cassini captured the 30 frames required to construct this mosaic on 23 July 2008, from a distance of about a million kilometers. About a year before Saturn's equinox, the ring shadows have shifted from where they were early in Cassini's mission to a fat arc a little above the equator.

That sounds like a political proclamation. There was a public referendum in Crimea to return to Russia. Occupation was not needed because, historically, there has been an almost universal pro-Russian sentiment in Crimea. --Argenberg (talk) 21:01, 11 October 2026 (UTC)reply
  •  Comment I fully agree with George. To keep it factual: UN General Assembly Resolution 68/262 stated that the 2014 referendum had no validity as a basis for changing Crimea's status and reaffirmed Ukraine's territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. In April 2014, Putin himself acknowledged that Russian servicemen had supported the Crimean self-defence forces. Subsequent UN resolutions have explicitly referred to Crimea as temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory. These documented facts show that describing Crimea as occupied territory is grounded in international law and documented history, rather than being merely a political proclamation. I realise this discussion is primarily about photography, but I believe it is also legitimate to clarify the historical facts when they are brought into question. I am expressing my view in support of a fellow contributor, based on documented facts and official sources.-- Radomianin (talk) 08:40, 12 October 2026 (UTC)reply
The cited UN General Assembly Resolution does not provide any historical facts, nor does it present a documented history. It reads as a declaration, or a short assessment at best. Yes, some 10,000 troops were transported to Crimea in 2014, in addition to the 15,000 already stationed legally on the peninsula. This was known and publicly documented long before Putin's announcement. The historical fact is that they were not used as an occupying force, aside from several isolated incidents involving silent standoffs and the blocking of a few military bases and one administrative building in Simferopol. There was widespread enthusiasm and public commitment to a free and open referendum. By late 2014, over 90% of the Crimean population had received Russian passports via personal applications. Crimea was fully integrated into the Russian legal system, and some 2.5 million people have lived there happily ever after as an integral part of Russia. I am not a lawyer, but as far as I know, General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding. UN General Assembly Resolution 68/262 neither provides historical facts regarding the public referendum, nor does it constitute international law by itself; rather, it offers an interpretation, and a rather conflicting one, because it contradicts Article 1.2 of the United Nations Charter “to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace”. --Argenberg (talk) 00:01, 13 October 2026 (UTC)reply
For me, it is great as it is because it puts me into a solemn, meditative, yet analytical mood where one can appreciate the textures and colors of the rocks and shrubs against the sea backdrop. With the sun setting or rising, it would be just one of many cliche photos with sunset hues washing over everything, hiding the texture, flattening the colors. You can be sober and meditative during sunset, but you can’t really be analytical. It would be just another sunset mood picture. --Argenberg (talk) 21:01, 11 October 2026 (UTC)reply

  •  Keep Your statement is correct, but this is not the way we usually deal with this problem. In the good old times, animations and the like were always promoted to featured picture status, not yet to featured media status. You can find all of them on Commons:Featured pictures/Animated, a gallery page which is kept as an archive. It does not make much sense (and means useless work for all of us) to delist every single one of these animations, just in order to nominate them again on Commons:Featured media candidates. Please consider that there are far less participants in FM discussions, and that there is not even am official maintainer for the FM candidates and gallery pages; delisting and renomination all these animations would just shift the burden on the two or three volunteers who kindly help out with counting, closing and archiving the FM nominations. – If we really think that we must change the status quo of all these featured animations, I would rather suggest a general discussion and a concerted action. Open a new discussion on Commons talk:Featured picture candidates and propose that we change the status of all these featured animations by replacing the {{Assessments}} template with a {{FM promoted}} template and replace the ‘Featured picutures of …’ categories by the corresponding ‘Featured media of …’ categories. (Technical hint: the {{FM promoted}} template usually links to subpages of Commons:Featured media candidates, but we can create redirects which would be linked from the {{FM promoted}} and just redirect users to the original FP nomination.) Let’s discuss this for a while and vote on it. If a majority of users votes for transforming all featured animations to featured media, I can handle this and update all image description pages etc. That’s my proposal.

Abandoned, deserted shipwreck in a tropical lagoon in the Gulf of Thailand.
Mile, it is a very special lighting situation, and colors can be like this in shallow tropical lagoons under clouds. The original version seems too pale to me, and not “true”. But I made a new version with the vibrance lowered to just +15. That is a very modest value for sensors from the late 2000s. Olympus used Sony sensors in their cameras. I believe this particular camera (E-P1) had a sensor manufactured by Sony. --Argenberg (talk) 11:39, 5 October 2026 (UTC)reply
  • I think it was Panas Live-MOS. Later they used Sony. But using dont tell much, there were 1-2 producers, but codec on chip was more important. For me, Panas GH have best i've seen. Here, to much green etc, for my taste. --Mile (talk) 15:38, 5 October 2026 (UTC) p.S: Make Alternative.reply
The blue-green color here is exactly the color of aquamarine and turquoise varieties often found in shallow tropical waters and some high-altitude lakes. Category:Aquamarine (color), Category:Turquoise water. --Argenberg (talk) 13:44, 6 October 2026 (UTC)reply
