No. 3 - it is a bit unflattering though! :-) Privatemusings (talk) 04:55, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would've liked 2, but the photo's bad. So my vote goes for 3.--thunderboltz^(TALK) 07:44, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No.3 is the best of the lot. But they're all sub-optimal though... Sidin (talk) 08:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. 3, No. 2 is a overexposed. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 07:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Poll: Amber Halliday

No 2 for Amber IMHO--VS ^talk 08:59, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. 2 -- Mattinbgn\^talk 09:02, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
2. Giggy (talk) 00:59, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. 2. No. 3 would be good if it wasn't so blurry, though. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:13, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Number 3 is the best picture except the quality isn't as good as the others. It would be best if it was a "frame" instead of a "thumb". Khoikhoi 03:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
3. I resized to fix the blurry. -- Y not? 04:24, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
3. Put more light in this photo and it worth putting in album. Looks very old in all other photos PurpleView (talk) 07:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. 2. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 23:37, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. 3. Even though it could be better quality, I like this because she looks vibrant and happy. Cirt (talk) 00:38, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No 3 also is the only one in which she is not squinting, and the lines are not in sharp relief. Although it is a bit blurry. -- Avi (talk) 04:38, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
With all these pics why doesn't her bio have one?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 20:43, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some people don't like cramming all the low quality images they can find into an article: these polls are, if I read them correctly, designed to select the best quality picture to go into the article. Woody (talk) 21:01, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added teh second one when I uploaded it but somehow YetiHunter thinks that it is a net negative. YellowMonkey (click here to choose Australia's next top model) 23:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

3. 4 is a cute pic though, probably not particularly representative. ~ Riana ⁂ 08:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. 2. Although I like 4, it's kinda funny. Coldmachine^Talk 09:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. 3, despite the fact it is slightly hazy, the smile is good.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 01:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. 3 Could this be Naomi Watts' long lost sister? ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 10:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
2- sweet. The last one looks like my nose sometimes lol. Sticky Parkin 12:43, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
3- It would help if it were lightened though.— Ѕandahl ♥ 03:58, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No.3 is the best! Sidin (talk) 08:55, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No.4 - No.3 is the best pose, but the photo didn't come out that well. For No. 4, photoshop out the automobile and the lamp post. -- Suntag ☼ 07:55, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. 2 seems to be the best available. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 07:07, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
3 - maybe you can "push" it to make the face brighter? Pdfpdf (talk) 11:26, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. 3 Abraham, B.S. (talk) 03:51, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
#3 would be best if not fuzzy; too much light in #1 and 2; #4 is a poor angle and again she's clearly got too much sun in her eyes. ---BlackJack | ^{talk page} 06:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
#4 - probably not her best angle but you can see that she's cute. --vi5in^[talk] 02:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Poll: Grant Schubert

No: 1 - background also adds interest to the photograph.--VS ^talk 09:05, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Probably No. 3, although unfortunately the hat in No. 2 obscures part of his face, otherwise I would choose that. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 09:06, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Someone good with photoshop could remove the hat in 2, but if not, then I'd say 3. Giggy (talk) 00:59, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
1 or 3. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:13, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuff

Concordia

Howdy. This is weird; generally I find myself supporting you or following up to support our joint POV. However, this time I really think you've got it wrong. Are you acquainted with the school? If not, please take my word for it - the student leadership is highly relevant. If so, please explain to me why you feel it is unencyclopaediac. Looking forward to receiving your response. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:55, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why prefects and SRC etc are relevant. Why is it different from other schools. YellowMonkey (click here to choose Australia's next top model) 07:26, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"I'm not sure why prefects and SRC etc are relevant." - Yes, I could see that. (First answer is that they are neither Prefects nor SRC. But I don't imagine that helps you much.)

"Why is it different from other schools." - There are many answers to that.

I see you're not prepared to take my word for it.

Oh well.

Please tell me why it's unencyclopaediac so I can give you an answer that addresses your concerns.

Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 10:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I like to see both sides of the discussion in the one place, so please respond here.

Well it was just a general rule of thumb that student leaders aren't notable, I guess less notable than actual teachers. I don't know that much about this so I'm not going to sit here arguing vigourously or anything. YellowMonkey (click here to choose Australia's next top model!) 08:15, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Waterfall Gully & WP:ELLIPSES

The manual of style seems pretty clear: "Put a space on each side of an ellipsis, except at the very start or end of a quotation." This is followed by examples. If you think the manual is wrong, or just doesn't follow usage, that's another thing.

Personally, I would myself have left out the spaces, but I can see a plausible argument - to avoid long non-breaking blocks. In any case, I won't lose any sleep over it.

And, by the way, thanks for your work on Waterfall Gully. It's appreciated. Pingku (talk) 06:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FACs

YM, that's four FACs at once ... and the first still hasn't gotten support. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 05:50, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you mean Faith Leech? It has one.... I know 4 at a time is a lot, but I've been able to deal with in the past quite easily. Unfortunately because of the type of topic, with nobody caring about Vietnamese history and swimming, these ones have always attracted about one comment per week, whereas the cricket ones have usually got 3-4 per week. I know about the karma theory of FAC and all that, but I was the most prolific GAC reviewer in a few months, and usually, a large majority of my articles have gotten onto the WP:GAN/R topic because of the fact that nobody is interested in VN or swimming. Whereas I think TonyTheTiger has 100+ GAs and has probably had maybe 150+ GANs in total and only a handful of reviews because more people out there are interested in American stuff...I do believe I'm within the proviso of not-nominating without prior supports and having dealt with objections, because there aren't any. I should be right apart from any copyediting concerns though. YellowMonkey (click here to choose Australia's next top model) 06:17, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
