Info This autumn there are several articles in mass media around Europe about the illegal immigration in Greece. i.e. this article Europe's gateway for illegal immigration or this documentary of the Norwegian TV about immigrants - refugees [1]. If you go to the 7:53 minutes of this video (it has English narration) you will see scenes from this detention center (the health conditions etc are bad in this detention center). On 21-Sep-2010 UNHCR reported that: "asylum situation in Greece is 'a humanitarian crisis'" [2]. Ggia (talk) 19:29, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  - Info Actually, here an optional text has been specified using a correct template. I think the bot will accept that. --Slaunger (talk) 21:47, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Info -- Yes, I did it... Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:54, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Ah, OK, I did not notice that, sorry. --Slaunger (talk) 10:13, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment adding weak/strong/anything else is just an expression of personal feelings. i am totally aware of the fact that these votes count as a single vote, still they can help express one's thoughts. perhaps there should be a poll on how to get this into policy/guideline - resulting in either deleting the template or encouraging people to use them. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 22:43, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It is a refreshing new kind of subject and valuable. The technical quality is really good, and the stitch is very well made. The light and colors are good as well considering the overcast conditions. I have the problem though that I do not easily see the really interesting part of this photo - the imprisoned refugees. A huge fraction of the area of the photo is taken up by cut off and not very relevant elements for the scenary, such as masts with power cables, road side crash barriers. For me an FP should tell its story for the viewer without having to read about the background and inspect a small fraction of the photo for the people. It is not that I only want to see the imprisoned refugees. They should be seen in context with fence, barbed-wire, some building structures, etc. But here there is simply much too much of the surrounding context IMO. Sorry. --Slaunger (talk) 21:47, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- As Slaunger. Good quality and interesting but not special or beautiful enough for rechinh FP status. Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:57, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree in principle with Slaunger. I'm not happy with the composition. Apart from the missing wow-factor there are imo some other problems. The crop on some parts (see annotations) is not good and the trucks are disturbing and obscure the building. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 12:52, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - high educational value overcomes some of the issues with obscured view, particularly those that probably can't be helped. I think a careful recrop may improve it enough for me to support, particularly the distracting elements toward the edges. Jonathunder (talk) 16:16, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- Olumsuz düşünen arkadaşlar sanırım haklılar. Bu resim dramatik ancak kompzisyon ve kalite olarak biraz hafif kalıyor. Belki yakından tutuklular çekilseymiş ilginç olurmuş. Mulazimoglu (talk) 17:43, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I think there is too much contrast. --Aktron (talk) 11:12, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
