Depiction of a Dojikko (a clumsy girl, that doesn't miss a chance to make a mistake).
Even a "non-educational" image is being used by multiple Wikimedia sites. LOL. Masum Reza📞 22:23, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Masumrezarock100: too much better, I love your the work that has been done here, I know how difficult it is to do this --Wilfredor (talk) 16:31, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I couldn't know how much you knew about it (the same way you can't know that you are calling a sixty year old lady "Dude" :-) ) and I was only fixing the correct category. --Cart (talk) 13:11, 28 November 2019 (UTC) a.k.a Dude[reply]
  • No, I am not offended at all. Sorry for assuming your gender. I should have used a gender neutral pronoun. I have a bad habit of calling others "dude". Masum Reza📞 13:42, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose One person cut off, no wow for me --Uoaei1 (talk) 17:23, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, for the revert. I misclicked the rollback link from mobile watchlist. Masum Reza📞 17:33, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - I'm just not that impressed with the work. Sure, I get that the photo is useful, and perhaps it would be a good VI. But the frame is inconsistent in terms of realism in a way that puts me off balance. The girl on the left right (dojikko, I guess) looks like she's ice skating while throwing a platter, and some things in the background are quite detailed and realistic, but the girls and animals are not. But mainly, it's just aesthetics - I don't love this frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:50, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually girl on the right is the Dojikko. She is not throwing the platter; she was carrying an octopus and some flowers on it. She is so clumsy that she couldn't even carry those stuffs properly. The image is portraying her as if she is going to fall. By the way, what gave you the idea that she is "ice skating"? The floor is clearly not made of ice and her boot/shoe is not for ice skating either. At least take a look at the image before voting. Masum Reza📞 13:16, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - It was obvious from my comment that I meant the girl on the right, and I also said she looks like she's ice skating, not that she's actually depicted as ice skating or that there is ice on the floor. Your approach of attacking everyone who opposes any of your nominations as if they're either idiots or didn't look at the photo is not going to convince more people to vote for your nominations. Instead, you may eventually have a fate similar to the one documented at User talk:Livioandronico2013, for creating a hostile work environment for volunteers here. I know you wouldn't even think of listening to a warning from someone who was so unforgivably stupid as to oppose one of your nominations, so just carry on the way you are and see what happens. I'm done with this discussion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:57, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ikan Kekek: For your information, this is my first FP nomination and I am not too familiar with the process. I only nominated pictures for QI before. And no one accused me of attacking others there. Could you provide "evidence" that I attack everyone who opposes any of my nominations? Uoaei1 also opposed this nomination, I am not sure how I "attacked" them. I am happy to improve myself if you could show me which one of my comments look like attacks. That said, I have struck one of the sentences in my comments above as they might be little too harsh. Masum Reza📞 13:23, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are you planning to settle in UK or what? Since when "dude" has become an insult? Now you are just talking off-topic stuff here. That undeletion discussion has nothing to do with this FPD. You could have experimented in your userpage but instead you chose to taint the Template namespace. If you want to discuss about it feel free to ask at COM:HD, COM:AN, COM:L, or at my talk page. But please stay on-topic and leave your personal grudges out of this discussion. Masum Reza📞 18:24, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Masumrezarock100: Um, you were the one who asked for "evidence" that you have attacked others. Everything I said was related to a comment already made by someone else. And don't you worry about the discussion being "tainted" by "personal grudges", as I have no grudge against anyone here. I have included my reasons for opposing in my above comment. Also, I don't like how the girl on the left is partially cut out of the frame. Don't get so worked up every time someone opposes your nomination; FP nominations fail all the time, and this is only your first time nominating here, anyway. Also, no, I do not plan to settle in the UK, as I am quite happy with my life here in the States. And of course I couldn't have known that I was "tainting" the template namespace; I thought I was helping out by making a standardized version of an allowed template. But that's certainly enough talking about the other matters which you brought up; now back to the image. For starters, if there was a version of the image that included all of the girl on the left, the nomination would certainly have better chances. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 02:31, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't see anything special in this image. — Draceane talkcontrib. 21:08, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Draceane. I surely miss a point but still fail to see anything special here, it looks like some random screenshot of an animated movie to me. What’s the educational use of this fictional scene? --Kreuzschnabel 08:15, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  weak support I'm going to give it my support. The proportions are wrong, and really look like drawn by a child. But anyone who tries a bit of vector drawing will realise there's an amount of work behind this. And the result is not that bad (proportions aside, again). Rather this than a boring ceiling. - Benh (talk) 18:47, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Tomer T (talk) 23:50, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per others --Milseburg (talk) 10:45, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per others. Daniel Case (talk) 23:08, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose First of all, I agree that there's plenty educational value in this. The Wikimedia projects are are about so much more than flowers and churches. Anime and Manga are just as much a part of todays society as watching tennis on TV. They have their own terms for different styles, techniques, tropes that need explanation and illustration just like Football terminology does (or doesn't, depending on personal interests). And as far as I (as somebody who has not much insight into the scene) can tell, this drawing is doing a pretty decent job at distilling the essence of what makes a Dojikko character. That's a pro at VI as "best in scope".
So why am I still opposing? Well, the background looks very good and I can't see much being wrong about the girl on the left, but the main subject has some major issues that prevent me from considering it "top notch". 1) as pointed out above, the proportions are just wrong, the head does not fit the body. Cartoon/comic/manga proportions are of course different from real-life proportions, but they still follow some rules. 2) Despite it being an action scene, the whole thing looks extremely static, almost frozen. Maybe it's the complete absence of speed lines, maybe the pose is not exaggerated enough, but in any case it looks anything but dynamic to me. --El Grafo (talk) 10:35, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
