Info all by Wladyslaw Info I am not a specialist in fauna. If you can precise what kind of gull this animal is feel free to put it in a better category. Thank you. -- Wladyslaw (talk) 19:17, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion leading to succesful identification of the gull

*

Comment Although I appreciate nominations from the Denmark

, aren't you exceeding the max two active nominations limit here? --Slaunger (talk) 20:21, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- You could withdraw it for the time being and get the id issue resolved meanwhile... --Slaunger (talk) 20:22, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I did --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:30, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Fine, then there is no reason to put an ugly template on this one, and I see you have contacted MPF as well. Good. --Slaunger (talk) 08:16, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- MPF is good at gulls. He has previously helped me ID gulls. --Slaunger (talk) 21:33, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment May be difficult to ID with both the feet and the tail obscured. Moreover the bird takes up only a small portion of the frame. 131.137.245.206 09:09, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Dear IP user, (geolocating to the Ottawa area in Canada), is there a specific reason for editing anonymously at FPC? --Slaunger (talk) 09:42, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - The more important question is why is that any concern of yours? I am not trying to be rude, just puzzled considering all users are permitted, as a fundamental Wikimedia policy, to edit. However, to answer your question, the benefits of logging in are not of any interest to me. 131.137.245.207 14:24, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - My concern was an intial slight suspicion regarding your objectives for editing as IP. For a short while I thought you might be an established FPC editor, editing as IP (perhaps on vacation), because your reviews and comments seemed more qualified than a random IP editor passing by FPC. Has been seen before on FPC. However, after looking at your contributions, I think you are what you say, an IP editor not wanting the benefits of editing under a user name. My apologies for being a little intrusive. --Slaunger (talk) 10:21, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are six common species of gulls in Denmark of which three can be ruled out immediately I think. I think likely candidates are Larus canus (my best guess), Larus fuscus or Larus argentatus. --Slaunger (talk) 09:54, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Done; it is indeed Larus canus. - MPF (talk) 10:01, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanx --Wladyslaw (talk) 13:23, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose sorry I just have to say "no wow", but I couldn't express my thoughts any better :) :( Tomer T (talk) 10:46, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose composition nice, I like it! But the gull is partialy overexposed and concealed for an featured image for me. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 11:17, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- (1) the gull is not overexposed, either full nor partially (2) this is not a documentary picture for a fauna textbook so the partially (!) hidden gull is no problem to be a FP --Wladyslaw (talk) 18:51, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Crop (40 % are unnecessary). --Yikrazuul (talk) 17:22, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- this picture needs "space" for aesthetic reason similar to this one File:Toronto - ON - Schaft des CN Tower.jpg --Wladyslaw (talk) 18:51, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Agree with Wladyslaw that this is not a bird profile and the need of space in an artistic composition. But I prefer more space at bottom to see a bit more of the pole (?) or even a portrait composition to get a more artistic feel. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 07:56, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
