Scope Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope:
Amaurornis isabellina
Used in Global usage
Reason

general discussion of the problem, which kind of picture is ok as valued image for a bird, where an old image with two species is the only source picture of the species we have.

This picture is absolutely not OK as valued image for me, as I am not shure, which bird is meant and if both birds may be male and female of the species. To be shure, I need a description. Therefore the original would be better, as it simply looks better than this one. One could use it in an Wikipedia artikle where one could be shure, that the description is understandable for most readers, but in pages like Rallidae or Amaurornis, which may be used by users which don't speak any of the given languages there's no use for such a picture to illustrate Amaurornis isabellina.

Other examples for really bad ideas as valued images
