Delist and Replace: Apollo 11

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 3 May 2019 at 15:10:34 (UTC)

Current featured picture – Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot, stands on the surface of the moon near the leg of the lunar module, Eagle, during the Apollo 11 moonwalk.

Replacement photo. This is the original composition of the photo taken by Neil Armstrong. The original film exposure can be found at NASA's image database

Reason

To be replaced by File:Aldrin Apollo 11 original.jpg. The current FP was promoted in 2005 when this alternative was not available, I believe. It also fails WP:FP? #8 (bullet 4): "Any manipulation which causes the main subject to be misrepresented is unacceptable. (See: Moon landing conspiracy theories#Photographic and film oddities) It is also of lower resolution. There was a previous discussion to delist where it was kept in 2013.

The current FP currently appears in 2 pages in the article namespace compared to the 18 pages it appeared in 2013.

The replacement is currently in 25 articles.

Articles this image appears in

Current FP appears at: Dark Side of the Moon (mockumentary) and Moon landing conspiracy theories. (I believe this version of photo is relevant to these pages.)

Newer version appears at: Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11, Moon landing conspiracy theories, Colonization of Mars, Extravehicular activity, History of spaceflight, History of the United States, History of the United States (1964–1980), July 1969, List of spaceflight records, Space exploration, etc.
