Wikipedia:Picture of the day/Unused
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a page of featured pictures that have been skipped and are unlikely to appear as Picture of the day for various reasons.
| Image | Article | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Lunar distance (astronomy) | Too wide to fit comfortably in the POTD template (even though the Main Page could use {{wide image}}, the regular POTD template cannot), and the very nature of the image (with the Earth and Moon at far ends of the image) makes it impractical to use a small cropped portion. | |
| Michele Merkin | Too cheesecake-y for the Main Page. Will call into question Wikipedians' character ("She only got picked because she's hot" etc, what with WP:HOTTIE also existing, even if that's just a joke page). A POTD blurb for glamour photography could potentially be written as well, but it would preferable to not have a topless woman for that case. | |
| Death and culture | Too graphic. | |
| World map | No context available. This needs more detail about the map itself before I can use it. | |
| Navajo people | According to an anonymous comment left on File talk:Zahadolzhá--Navaho.jpg, this is a culturally inappropriate photo. In the interest of cultural sensitivity, I'll have to assume that is true unless shown otherwise. | |
| Burlington and Missouri River Railroad | No context available. This would go well with an article about how Congress granted land to rail companies so that they would build railroads, except we don't have anything like that. | |
| Guano | Although shows how guano is ejected from the bird, will invite too many juvenile comments from the peanut gallery. | |
| Public indecency | Like the seagull photo, will be the catalyst of much hand-wringing and/or vandalism. | |
| Pin tumbler lock | This image replaces a PNG version which made two appearances as POTD. | |
| Timeline of young people's rights in the United States; Lewis Hine | No context available. Would go well in an article about the history of children's sports or something like that. | |
| Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell; James Bryce, 1st Viscount Bryce | No context available. There is no information about this meeting in either article. | |
| Jacques-Louis David; Dominique Vivant | No context available. Was this costume ever actually used by legislators in the French Republic? | |
| List of works by Thomas Eakins | No context available. | |
| Mike Godwin | WP:SELF | |
| Eristalinus megacephalus | No context available. Article is a one-line stub and picture is not used anywhere else. | |
