•  Info created by the NASA EO-1 team - uploaded & nominated by Originalwana (talk) 10:33, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Info True-colour satellite image of the eastern edge of the Zambezi floodplain.
•  Support As nominator Originalwana (talk) 10:33, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:32, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment could it not be geotagged ? Teofilo (talk) 19:18, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment what geotag would one apply? Centre of the pic, or one of the corners? Centre would be more meaningful, but less easy to catch accurately from google earth than the corners. The centre is roughly 17°44'27"S 25°02'20"E. - MPF (talk) 22:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

I've added that geotagging with "rough estimate" wording. Teofilo (talk) 22:35, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Maybe this could use {{Overlay}} ? Jean-Fred (talk) 08:22, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I have changed the geotagging for the precise one of Kasane airport: I think it is better than a rough estimate. Teofilo (talk) 13:56, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

•  Support -- deerstop. 22:08, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- I see nothing within the guidelines that makes this an FP the ~4000x3000 px image doesnt reveal any detail, the composition is lacking any impact this no different to any of the 1,000s of satelite photographs that are around. Gnangarra 01:10, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose - I'm with Gnangarra on this one and don't understand what makes this picture extraordinary. Whas it some particular flood? And when did it occur? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:02, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes it is a shame that nobody pointed out the absence of date until you did.  Done added date. Teofilo (talk) 13:56, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Gnangarra. --Eusebius (talk) 11:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Gnangarra. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 16:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I am not sure who I should believe, Gnagarra saying "doesnt reveal any detail" or the NASA writer saying "highly detailed true-color image". It is not as high a resolution as that of Google maps satellite views, which use Spot Image imagery. But the date is more precise, and it is a free file. Are we determined to highlight free contents? By the way the purpose is not to show the streets or the location of the hospital, but to show a floodplain and its eastern limit when it reaches a geological fault. This is also a highly educative content as the image is provided with a detailed, easy to understand description on the NASA website. In my opinion, the only thing missing on this view is "Here be lions" as used to be written on old maps. Teofilo (talk) 13:56, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I like it very much. It looks like a painting. --Lošmi (talk) 17:53, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Support -- Takabeg (talk) 18:59, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose La photo semble voilée de blanc, et les détails trop petits et trop nombreux rendent le document bruité.--HAF 932 (talk) 12:56, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
