  • No. I contest this. Kallernas vote is decisive here. And I'm not willing to accept his behaviour anymore. --Dschwen (talk) 12:11, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I entirely agree with Dschwen. Kallerna's reason is unreasonable for opposing. Jacopo Werther (talk) 12:29, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • In the nominating guidelines, it says that "Pictures should be in some way special" in order to be featured. "Nothing special" seems to be addressing that (rather vague) requirement. Kaldari (talk) 18:58, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Uh huh... So a beautiful free high quality portrait of a reasonably well known actress is "nothing special"? Coooome oooooon! --Dschwen (talk) 19:18, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • It's a personal oppinion. It's might be quite hard to draw the border in between where a reason is valid or not if we should evaluate that for all votes. For example one could also argue that D_Kubas vote should be invalid as the guidelines never say anything about encyclopaedic value, in fact it indicates that it is not needed: "This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project.". To me it's fine saying "nothing special" even though a more constructive comment would be more helpful of course. Also if we only have reasons for invalidating oppose votes it would kind of make it easier for images to get promoted as there are no way to invalidate support votes, not sure that is what we really want. Maybe our rules about voting is just not clear enough. /Daniel78 (talk) 20:01, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • I would not be annoyed by this that much if it weren't a pattern in Kallerna's voting. Look for yourself. This is counter-productive and impolite, and nothing but a slap in the face of the contributors. Without as much as a shred of a reason these opposes are worthless at best. --Dschwen (talk) 21:08, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I completely agree with Dschwen. The oppose votes only criticized the artistic choices made by the photographer, not the quality or merit of the resulting still. And nothing special? I disagree, I'm sure this was a special moment between Mr. and Mrs. Ruspoli. There aren't many intimate photographs of such quality on the commons. ˉanetode╦╩ 22:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
