  • Look who's talking about courtesy! I'm not sure I understood you,Sanchezn. To whom I should be courteous to you as to opposer or to Tobi 87 as a photographer and why my support vote on the the image is insulting to you? Don't you think that it is not exactly courteous to support image taken by your personal friend benh with the vote that the image author himself calls bias? the benh image should be promoted or not promoted, but without you supporting it. Do you still want to discuss what is and what is not courteous?--Sensl (talk) 19:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I only supported Benh's picture because it's asked when you contest a FPX (and I still think your reasons were bad). I also supported this picture because I know it will not be featured. About courtesy, comments like "not even close to fp", "A very, very bad photo shop" or "No details in anything, bad lighting, very low quality of a common subject" are not acceptable, especially from someone that doesn't contribute with pictures. In spite of everything, I'm really surprised a user that contributes since july 25 june 5 knows benh is my personal friend? --Sanchezn (talk) 20:25, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • You supported your friend image because you know it is not going to be promoted? Is that right? How interesting! There's no mystery how I learned you and benh are friends. Both of you used the word "courteous" . It is not a common word to use here and it seemed strange to me. I went to your user page and learned that both of you live in France, share the same interests in photography and I saw an image with the description : me and benh working at the same panorama or something like that. Then I knew you were friends. Now, when I know you are roommates too, I assume you're using not only the same uncommon words, but the same IP too? --Sensl (talk) 22:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd like to justify. I've already told that sanchezn is my long time friend and temporarily a roomate of mine. Although this wouldn't be against the rules, we try not to biase our votes when reviewing a picture of each other. Here, sanchezn just wanted to remove the FPX template, but by doing so, he had to add the support template (or have I got something wrong ?). I told him not to, but he went ahead, as he felt this wouldn't have a lot of consequences. So I don't think there's some insult with sanchezn's votes, and contributions to commons and wikipedia in general. They actually are useful, unlike some harsh comments over here.
