Oppose (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, of too low resolution. Great picture though! I'd certainly support it as a valued picture! --Pjt56 (talk) 17:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC) - Support I have uploaded a higher-res version straight from the source and updated source and copyright info. In my opinion this can be featured now. le Korrigan →bla 18:07, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Comment Yes! The updated one it's very impressive! Thank you ! --すけ (talk) 18:45, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support Thanks Korrigan - good image --Herby talk thyme 19:09, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Question Umm... Problem here, this is a duplicate image (other version is File:Satellite image of snow-covered Great Britain on 7 January 2010.jpg and is on en.wp FPC). The other file was uploaded earlier, has better description, and is the one actually in use - which means File:Great Britain Snowy.jpg is the one I'm inclined to delete, but I'm not sure how that would affect FPC syntax. Should I just delete the file that is nominated here and move this page to point to the other file?--Nilfanion (talk) 00:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)- Support of course (commented more on en).--Nilfanion (talk) 00:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support This is an amazing picture. WikiLaurent (talk) 22:28, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Too many clouds. —kallerna™ 12:44, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- What on earth do you think causes such weather! --Herby talk thyme 13:31, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support --elemaki (talk) 15:20, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support A rare sight. --Slaunger (talk) 20:53, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Nothing special - typical Northern European weather. It is beyond my comprehension what caused such a fuss about the topic. Wolf (talk) 06:41, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Comment I do not live in GB nor know the details of usual winter wheather there, but from reading articles like w:Winter of 2009-2010 in the United Kingdom it seems like a quite unusual wheather situation for GB and it is my impression that complete snow coverage of GB is a seldom event. The snow depths and cold temperatures are also unusually severe as I understand. --Slaunger (talk) 08:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- The media are reporting that it is the most severe weather for 30 years. Equally 30 years ago the snow, while bad, was not as extensive across the whole of the UK. As such this image is rather unusual to say the least. --Herby talk thyme 09:43, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Neutral I like this picture and think it's perhaps FP, but I prefer File:British Isles on 7 January 2010.jpg. Could do with a link to it in other versions section, but the file's protected >.< Jolly Janner (talk) 17:36, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Comment There is already a link in the "Other versions" section under the copyright status. --すけ (talk) 21:01, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hm seems a bit strange calling it "Same image" when it isn't. Personally I would add a 100px image of it there so users can preview it. Jolly Janner (talk) 21:09, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Comment Why is Phil Plait being credited as the creator? The image page states: NASA image by Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Rapid Response Team, Goddard Space Flight Center. Zaui (talk) 18:00, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- Um, that's only the case on this page (and is merely a mistake in the original nomination). Fixed...--Nilfanion (talk) 14:53, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
