This is the flower spike of a Banksia quercifolia and is the Information box image for this article. I took this in Kings Park, Western Australia on the 14 August 2006. The plant is part of a garden bed collection of Banksia species native to Western Australia.

Weak OpposeI like the picture. I think the color use is very good, and it's appealing to look at. However, I think you could crop it a little, because the tree and background, while a little should be there, is a bit distracting. It's also not centered perfectly. If the picture is edited a little, I'll change my vote to support. Joniscool98 16:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)- Still Weak Oppose per Tewy...much better, but still a bit grainy.Joniscool98 11:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Oppose. Per Joniscool98, needs a bit of cropping, and it's nothing special (looks like a typical photograph). --Tewy 00:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)- Oppose both. The second is better, but the graininess really becomes apparent after the cropping. It was also tilted too much. --Tewy 18:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose - non-notable, poorly taken picture, not eye catching at all. --GoOdCoNtEnT 04:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - how's this then? I cropped and tilted it. The natural colour of these flowers is brownish orange.Cas Liber 11:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Non-notable? What, you just threw in every Wikipedia phrase you could think of that meant "I don't like it" and ran with it? fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 15:16, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- That appears to be the case. Therefore, I will vote: Delete, NN vanity puff piece, original research, unverifiable, does not satisfy A7, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. ;) — BRIAN0918 • 2006-08-17 18:55
- Comment The article it points to is a very short stub and should be expanded significantly. The picture of the inflorescence is fine, but a whole plant picture would be more informative. Jeeb 01:51, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Befuddled and bewildered, by earlier comments. The last review the flower spike is the most unique feature and most recognisable feature of the species and genus as such its what is used in the taxo box --Gnangarra 02:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Dull and lacks sufficient detail/resolution. Perhaps even a bit artifacted? Rtcpenguin 21:45, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
