review

• Not bad. Unlike some other images, ist shows both station and trains.  Request Please identify station, add category and location. --Ikar.us (talk) 14:50, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment Picture is tilted on purpose to show detail in the wall. Moreover, long exposures and tripods are not permitted in the DPRK. In any event, the metro station is in fact a fairly dark place; a reality this photo conveys. --Lawboy25 (talk) 15:59, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- There are some better pictures of the same subject available, this one for example. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:02, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment The photo you link to is nothing short of terrible. Not only is it done very badly with a flash, but has the heads of foreign tourists in the foreground. --78.109.182.8 13:30, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
• I agree that this is the best photo, at least of this station. But we need in any case, we must identify the station. It seems to be Puhung (cp. ru:Пухын_(станция_метро)? --Ikar.us (talk) 15:37, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
• Shall it really be nominated as VI for whole Pyongyang metro, or only for this station? --Ikar.us (talk) 15:35, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
• Metro station is 부흥 -- the samne as you have linked to. --Lawboy25 (talk) 22:47, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
• I dare to  Support it even for the wide scope. It's the only image of a station which shows trains, a part of the wall unhided, splendiferous decorations, political paintings, acceptable lighting and no tourists. --Ikar.us (talk) 13:53, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
• I am pleased to hear you understand that it is simply not possible in this country to take staged photos. The lighting in reality is dim, thus a photo which shows dim lighting should hardly be problematic: it is an accurate representation of the subject. --Lawboy25 (talk) 14:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I support this choice, and entirely agree with Ikar.us's reasons. IMO, The technical quality is maybe better in the other one, but it's not our problem here, for most valuables images. --Jebulon (talk) 22:27, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose - This image is not geocoded, and no good reason is provided. --Rastaman3000 (talk) - Visit my new user-page! 17:37, 20 April 2010 (UTC) -  Neutral - The image is now geocoded, but I'm still not convinced. --Rastaman3000 (talk) - Visit my new user-page! 17:27, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
• It's in North Korea. That is a reason. There are no maps available from that country. However, he should remember whre he arrived. I've guessed a location using http://www.pyongyang-metro.com/metromaps.html . --Ikar.us (talk) 21:19, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • I learned that the one stop metro ride from the railway main station to this end of the line belongs to guided tours. Perhaps tourists aren't allowed to leave the station? --Ikar.us (talk) 22:11, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Source is wrong for this station. Found more plausible place on Wikimapia and Panoramio. --Ikar.us (talk) 06:52, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
