Info created by Tony Wills - uploaded by Tony Wills - nominated by Patriot8790 -- Patriot8790 (talk) 18:08, 21 January 2010 (UTC)- Info Resin bead on Pinus radiata tree stump. Beads of resin ooze from the stump in hot weather. Initially soft lumps of jelly like this one, they dry out and crystallise like the remnants in the foreground.

Comment Commons refers to the wikipedia for file guidelines; "For uniformity, lower case file name extensions are recommended." as quoted from Image titles and file names on the English wikipedia. I think that a file that does not follow the basic guideline should not attain featured status. Snowmanradio (talk) 11:04, 22 January 2010 (UTC)- Comment Yes, but this is not one of the criteria for featured pictures. We vote for featured pictures mostly for their quality but not for their file name extensions. --Patriot8790 (talk) 14:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
- My earlier point and shoot used upper case for jpg extension. Frankly at the time I would have had no idea how to alter it and would have/did upload files without any thought on whether the extension was upper or lower case. --Herby talk thyme 18:58, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
- I have linked to a recommendation for lower case file extensions with added explanatin that the guideline was written with the intention of enhance uniformity within the project. I see no reason why FPs should disregard these recommendations. It is easy to inadvertently upload with uppercase JPG, especially if a camera uses uppercase JPG; however, when editors become aware of the guidelines then the file extension can easily be changed simply by typing in the lower case.

- If only we were as precise in terms of quality as we are something so unimportant as this. Additionally I see that is an en wp policy. As such it has no actual standing here on Commons, Thanks --Herby talk thyme 11:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
- This does have standing on Commons, which refers to the language wikis for guidelines on file naming and specifically links to the en wiki guidelins. See Commons:First_steps/Upload_form#4._Set_an_appropriate_file_name where is says; "You should use a descriptive name and follow the draft Commons language policy and/or the Wikipedia naming conventions for the language used, which give guidance on capitalisation, non-alphanumeric characters, etc.". Uniformity in format is important in wikis. Snowmanradio (talk) 12:31, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Oppose Refreshing topic, good color, light, overall quality and fair resolution. But it is not really eye-catching enough for me to be FP, sorry. --Slaunger (talk) 23:05, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
