Review (criteria)	Question Could File:Dragonfly ran-579 Whitetail f.jpg be a better illustration of the subject? -- King of Hearts (talk) 00:48, 22 August 2010 (UTC) Perhaps, if it were geocoded. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC) But assuming that the other picture is more valuable, then it doesn't have to be geocoded to be considered for opposing this nom. I'm not saying it is more valuable, as both have their advantages and disadvantages. This one has more resolution and shows more of the habitat; the other one offers a more direct angle-of-view. I can't decide at this point, so let's wait for someone else to make the call. -- King of Hearts (talk) 00:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)  Comment Now, isn't this rather Libellula forensis? --Quartl (talk) 18:42, 22 August 2010 (UTC)  Oppose Incorrect identification IMO. I agree with User:Quartl -- George Chernilevsky talk 11:36, 23 August 2010 (UTC) Quartl, you were right. It is Libellula forensis. I have changed the scope. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:31, 23 August 2010 (UTC) On second thought, Archaeodontosaurus has proposed that it is Libellula pulchella. Please don't vote until I find which it is. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:43, 23 August 2010 (UTC) L. pulchella has brown wingtips. --Quartl (talk) 17:05, 23 August 2010 (UTC) Yes for Libellula forensis! --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 17:59, 23 August 2010 (UTC) I also took it to the Science reference desk and it is indeed Libellula forensis. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 18:02, 23 August 2010 (UTC)  Support criteria met now, correct ID -- George Chernilevsky talk 20:02, 23 August 2010 (UTC)  Support now. -- King of Hearts (talk) 05:54, 24 August 2010 (UTC)  Support as well. --Quartl (talk) 06:30, 24 August 2010 (UTC) Result: 3 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
