•  Question An engaging editorial pic Fæ, but I am having a hard time understanding how this image meets the criteria for a Featured Pic on Commons. Perhaps you can explain your thoughts on the matter? As an aside, I would add that perhaps a Personality Rights template is warranted. Saffron Blaze (talk) 17:38, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
  • It was an engaging photo that meets the technical criteria, with an interesting human sub-text of recovery for displaced families and orphaned children, only a few months after the devastating earthquake, along with more general fact that we only have 15 photographs of boys of Japan (we have 427 photos of boys of the United States). I did not realise the foreground partial figure would be so distracting for others. I am happy to withdraw this photo on that basis. --Fæ (talk) 18:46, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

• Yeah, the foreground element is unwelcome and is the kind of thing that gets noticed here. Is there others from this shoot that might meet the prevailing standards here better? We do need more images of this nature (human element) here at FPC. Saffron Blaze (talk) 19:04, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

I have nominated a Wounded Warrior photograph that stood out for me, where the human interest element is more obvious to a viewer. If anyone wants to mark this one as withdrawn, that's fine. --Fæ (talk) 19:07, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
