Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/RG-12

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Good photographs of non-US armoured vehicles are not all that common, and so I'd like to nominate this photo of a Land Systems OMC RG-12 armoured vehicle. I feel it adds value to the article by being a clear representation of the subject matter, as well as being fairly pleasing to the eye. It is used in the RG-12 article, and the photo is my own.

  • Comment — It would appear I misinterpreted the FPC criteria regarding image size, as I assumed this would be adequate. Nevertheless, I understand the objections, even while I personally regard the vehicle itself as far more interesting than other subject matter, such as frogs. Personal opinion, I guess. — Impi 14:34, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just to clarify, I find the PICTURE uninteresting, not the subject. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 14:51, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Fair enough. My comment was directed more at Childzy's sarcastic "Oooohhh a van how interesting" comment. I'm not even close to being a good enough photographer to believe my photos themselves are uniformly good or interesting. — Impi 16:40, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'm right there with you. I have tons of photos I've taken, many of them useful to articles (as is your nice RG12 photo), but none that I'm confident are truly up to FP standards. I guess we'll both have to keep honing our crafts. ;) --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • The "oooohhhh" comment is not new to the FPC process, but if it makes you feel any better a fellow wikipedian wrote "A shiny penny. Ho-hum" during the Licoln Cent FPC and that image still managed to get featured. The important thing to remember is never give up ;) TomStar81 04:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
            • Heh, I guess I'll have to admit that the photo just wasn't up to it. Ah well, thanks for the comments and the votes guys. Besides, failure's not a bad thing, it's a great way of telling us what not to do. :P — Impi 22:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
