  •  Comment Perhaps I have a short mentality. But do you think normal (and neutral) that a image of an alive dictator it was QI or FP? I hope that it is not image of the day in Commons--Miguel Bugallo 01:55, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It is the picture - not the person. --Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 12:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment His people have nothing against him. He is not a dictator and this fake revolt of few groups of rebels has been imposed from outside - states like: France, Germany and USA, which could be called a real dictators. --Alex discussion 13:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment The comment just above is only an opinion. It is completely out of scope, useless regarding the assessments of pictures, and should be deleted. The (so-called) "Community" here really don't care with the author's point of view in international affairs matters. FPC page is really going wrong... --Jebulon (talk) 14:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I like the composition but this picture is a bit too much on the soft side in my opinion. The focus is quite narrow.  Comment Indeed this is not the right place to argue about political (etc.) opinions, or who is wrong and who's right – it is not what Commons is about. Just keep it neutral and focus on the pictures as pictures. By the way, I personally wouldn't have anything against a featured picture of any dictator (or not a dictator, however you see it. I don't mind!) if the picture was good enough and met the FP guidelines. I just accidentally dropped a cucumber from a bread into my fish soup. --Ximonic (talk) 17:45, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment That's right, Ximonic, good photo-critic is what we need here. I'm sorry for your lunch :) I'm sorry but I had to react, because I was kind of provoked by Lmbuga. Alex discussion 18:12, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, Alex, I did not want to be provocative. I only wanted an answer so that I clarified my doubts. My doubts are about publicity and about of if commons can do publicity with a person--Miguel Bugallo 22:15, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the word “dictator” has been inopportune and disrespectful. Sorry--Miguel Bugallo 22:43, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*****Haha, lol. It's just paperwork on a desk (maybe authorizing the killing of innocent civilians). But anyhow, must we have a portrait of every dictator in the featured pictures list? I don't think so. —stay (sic)! 15:59, 10 July 2011 (UTC) The previous comment has been stricken-through, due the partiality and non–neutral point. Alex discussion 14:57, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
