The picture shows the Loschwitz Bridge "The Blue Wonder" Dresden, Saxony, Germany. The Blue Wonder is a so-called band-iron bridge. Here, the tensile forces are not transmitted by a cable or a chain, but of narrow metal strips which riveted together. These work like a rope. Since the concept has not prevailed, this bridge is an interesting historical and technical uniqueness.

Skyscapers at Potsdamer Platz, Berlin at the end of the blue hour

* Support high quality blue hour shot -- Thennicke (talk) 05:45, 1 July 2016 (UTC)  Neutral Significant (even visible in thumbnail) posterisation in the sky on the right half of the image -- Thennicke (talk) 05:48, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - I hope you looked at larger sizes than the thumbnail. Where are you seeing it at full size? The only place where a really close inspection might see it, to my eyes, is right above the Bahnhof, but even there, if so, it's very subtle and probably a tradeoff that was necessary to have an exposure that, amazingly, got the buildings in focus and also focused the stars without trails! Larger sizes show a progression of changes in tone that is not apparent in the thumbnail. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:52, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Thennicke: Thank you for your comment, Thennicke. It's interesting that you noted some posterization. I've been working on this picture several hours and it nearly drove me crazy because I always saw a lot of posterization in the sky, regardless which settings in LR and PS I've chosen. Then I looked at the same picture on my notebook, my tablet and my phone and found out that no posterization was visible at all. I then asked Hubertl, Diliff and Colin for their opinions before uploading the pictures to Commons. I don't have their answers here right now but I remember that none of them noted a severe posterization. Diliff said a little amount of posterization was visible and told me to add some noise to the picture to avoid posterization caused by the JPG-compression. I followed that advice. I really don't know what else I should do. I believe that in the end the quality of the picture might differ depending on which screen you're using to look at it. Maybe I'm wrong but I can't explain that phenomenon otherwise. My skills in post processing aren't that good and I'll be happy if anybody else could give me a hint on how I could even more improve the picture. BTW: Do you see the same issue on the other two pictures of the series? And P.S.: Of course the risk of getting posterization is much higher in the thumbnail than on the larger version because the thumbnail is being compressed much more. --Code (talk) 07:41, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's impossible to judge the posterisation from a thumbnail, since the thumbnail has higher JPG compression and sharpening and is created by Imagemagick on the Mediawiki server. The thumbnail is just an indication of what the full size image looks like - it is not an exact replica of it. Also, the sky has a very subtle gradient and this does sometimes cause posterisation problems that are difficult to solve, but often posterisation does not actually exist in the image itself, it's introduced by monitors with low bit depth or by monitor profiles. There is a small amount of actual posterisation but I know from experience that it's very difficult to eliminate in deep blue skies where there is limited sensor information in that range. Canon sensors are sadly inferior in that regard. The best way to avoid it is to shoot HDR or bracketed exposures, and I understand that this is not an HDR image - it is a single exposure. Tone mapping isn't always the best solution though. A common recommendation is to 'expose to the right' (of the exposure histogram). This is because the sensor contains more usable information at the brighter end. However, exposing to the right (maximising the amount information contained at the overexposed end of the RAW file right up to the point where it begins to result in blown highlights) means the photo usually looks too bright, and it then has to be underexposed again in post. This has the effect of giving you lower overall image noise and a greater ability to dig into the shadow detail. I think this image may also have benefited from a second 'overexposed' image which Code could have used the sky from, and it probably would have contained less posterisation. He could have then darkened the sky to match the 'actual' sky visible in this image. It's messy and not always easy to do, but with limited dynamic range in a Canon sensor, it's sometimes necessary. Having said all this, I don't think the posterisation is that bad. It's there, but it's not enough to worry me. Diliff (talk) 08:32, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you see some posterization, depends on which monitor you are looking at. On my better one (Iiyama ProLite) it´s almost unvisible - it´s sligthly visible on the other, both are "just" FullHD. I´m interested how it looks on a 5K monitor, so I´ll ask Johann. To say, that it is visible even on the thumbnail, it´s completely wrong, it´s visible BECAUSE of the compression of the thumbnail. But David already explained it very profound. Also Uwe may be asked (Eizo). --Hubertl 09:40, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, sorry for the bit about the thumbnail. What I'm seeing is significant in the full-sized image though, so it is probably just my monitor, as you've all mentioned. I don't have my desktop computer with me here so I'll stay as neutral for now, because it's impossible for me to judge with such a rubbish screen. It seems like an excellent image otherwise, of course, and I have no doubt you've done your best to reduce posterisation. -- Thennicke (talk) 07:33, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - True, the light at the top of the picture is rather white, diffuse and a bit glary. If you look directly at a closeup of that section at full size, I can see where it could be disturbing. I think it's OK in the context of the whole picture and also worth it for what it does to the other 5/6 or so of the picture, but I understand and respect your opinion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:38, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • ✓ Done I applied left crop. Thanks for the suggestion; I left it initially to preserve the necklaces but it looks better now. Concerning the WB, I just raised a little bit temperature and reduced pink and magent a bit. In general, it were almost matter of taste as the white of the headgear already showed the correct colours. The inside light of her workshop was influenced by all the coloured clothing which filtered the light not very fortunate. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 15:30, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Poco, the right one is OK (well done!), but there is still the second (the left). It is located where the path, on which walk two people, reaches the upper rim of the dune. Also this two ( or three?) people are a bit strange, in front of the left person is seemingly a "half person".

  •  Support Albertus teolog (talk) 04:04, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't mind the chair, it balances the pic, without it there would be too much orange. It also adds a bit of life to the scene, like someone just up and left. What I do mind is that it's unsharp, the kind of "double-tap" you get when you jerk the camera as you press the shutter in bad light. Or is it the glass mentioned above that plays reflection tricks with the photographer? There are also CA in some places (phone cord, clock, tags, reflections in the chrome on the chair). w.carter-Talk 22:49, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have been critic too of this bad practice and it's not downsampled and you will find the RAW file in the description. My camera has 10 years old thanks to a WMF global locked user, however, if I was the owner of a D800 I never would downsampled an image. A good camera and good lenses create an image with great detail, in my case, I always try to squeeze the most of what my camera and lenses can give. I always upload RAW images after an image is FP, however, bothers me such distrust, especially when I have been the main downsize critic --The Photographer (talk) 20:24, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • There are worse examples; this one, what things are is quite clear; you get much more obscured photos, especially if the skin tones aren't white, and the photographer still shoots them the same way. For example, while I think it's still a good image, File:George Washington Carver c1910 - Restoration.jpg would have definitely benefited from a lighter background to bring out the face. However, this was very much a photographic movement around this time. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:31, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow fence and boardwalk
  •  Comment - Yeah, any FP gets a shot at POTD. As for POTY, all FPs are candidates in the opening round, but maybe we should have a discussion on the talk page again, because I certainly wouldn't vote for every FP for POTY. I think it's entirely reasonable to have different standards for FP than for POTY. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:43, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I don't think B/W is such a good idea here since the musty yellow color is why the fence stands out. It's also a very good complementary color to the blue sea. Granted, it's not a grand castle or monument, I tend to see lines and beauty in ordinary everyday things. I leave it up to others to decide whether such things have a place among FP. Thanks for showing an interest though. :) w.carter-Talk 08:36, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - For whatever it's worth, I agree that the yellow, blue and other colors are integral to this picture and black & white probably wouldn't be as good. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:13, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Ok, I see what you mean. I thought the picture was more about lines than colours. That's why I supposed to try a B/W version. I still don't think I can support it. It's not clear enough in my eyes. There's too much going on: The yellow fence is quite dominant and makes the whole picture look very narrow. Then there are the green plants above, the people, the masts of the yachts, the sea, the sky, the water. I'm missing a focus in a compositional sense. --Code (talk) 10:30, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

shipwreck Euboea Nea Artaki
  • The weird thing is that on my screen the object under water in front of the bow actually looks sharper than most of the boat above water. The rusty chain is sharp, but the sides of the boat and the barnacles are just a bit unfocused. Guess the chain and the things under water in front of the bow are at the same distance from the camera. But if that slight unfocus is generally accepted in FPs, I'll be happy to change my vote to support because of the interesting object. w.carter-Talk 11:33, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, don't change anything, you vote is welcome, even opposing. I understand what you mean and I agree for part, maybe the DoF was a bit too short. My goal was to empasise the front part of the bow, with the chain, indeed.--Jebulon (talk) 14:37, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Glad you take it that way. I guess I'm sometimes too influenced by my work (publicing company) where all close range pics have to be knife sharp. I also know what you mean about opposeing votes, those are the ones that have taught me most here and I always welcome them myself for that reason. w.carter-Talk 15:07, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Thank you for you comment, Ikan. I don't know exactly what you mean by saying "pixellated" but it's always difficult to apply the right amount of noise reduction. For this kind of pictures I usually use the Samyang 14mm lens. At this focal length you can use a longer exposure time without getting star trails. Of course I do some retouching, too. --Code (talk) 05:43, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment That's probably because these parts have been stretched by the panorama stitching software in order to create the equirectangular (360x180) picture. --Code (talk) 06:10, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jetzt komm, Lothar, so neu bist du hier nicht. Man braucht sein Kontra hier sogar überhaupt nicht zu begründen, und wenn man es dennoch tut, ist es ein Hinweis an den Autor bzw. Nominator, was dem Bild fehlt. Und ja, „no wow“ ist ausreichend für eine Ablehnung auf FPC, denn ein FP braucht „wow“ (kannst du in den Guidelines nachlesen). Bitte reagier auf Ablehnung nicht immer gleich so angepisst. Nicht jeder hat deinen Geschmack, und um als Fotograf erfolgreich zu sein, sollte man den Geschmack seines Publikums studieren und berücksichtigen (außer man ist richtig verdammt gut, und so richtig verdammt gut bist du nicht). Die Gelegenheit hast du hier kostenlos. Wenn du das lieber als persönliche Beleidigung auffaßt, ist es allein dein Problem. Issochwahr. --Kreuzschnabel 21:03, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rocce rosse (Red rocks) in Arbatax, Sardinia
Thanks a lot to Ikan Kekek for nomination and all the reviews. I respect The Photographer´s remarks: denoising could be a tad less (but the rock itself has that soft appearance because of weathering), brightness could be a bit higher. I reduced the original exposure in Lightroom for 1/2 aperture because on some monitors the picture looked palish. The width of sky could be a bit less. The composition is that way because there is a wall at the left lower corner - one can see the remaining white spot - I would prefer to remain in the original width-to-height ratio - don´t know where 7px of height got lost. The size of the rock is not that big - watch the person behind the grass, the window seems to be natural. The creative leeway on disillusioning location is limited but this should not apologize anything or have an impact on review. --Isiwal (talk) 09:43, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Theresa May, Prime Minister-designate of the United Kingdom
Then this portrait of Angela Merkel should not be a featured picture? What about this one of Jens Stoltenberg, or this one of Erck Rickmers... Firebrace (talk) 00:13, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per INC, and to answer your question, I would vote to feature only the photo of Stoltenberg and neither of the others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:45, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Excellent portrait, no flaws, featurable by itself IMO. Per Firebrace, the comparison with Frau Merkel is relevant. This nomination is a good reaction of "Commons" to the current political events in Britain.--Jebulon (talk) 13:34, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per INC. To further the oppose response to Firebrace, while I might well not have supported featuring the Rickmers portrait, the Merkel and Stoltenberg ones have some dynamics (raised arm, face looking past the camera) that this one does not. Frankly it's just a very well-done ID photo. I'm sure as her time in No. 10 continues there will be ample opportunity for more featurable photo ops. Daniel Case (talk) 15:01, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In my view, the Merkel picture would be feature-worthy if her hand was in shot. It isn't obvious that she is waving; she could be holding on to something or leaning against a wall – the crop and background mean there is no context. She also has a red glow on the side of her hair... Firebrace (talk) 23:57, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • @INeverCry: This doesn't look like multi-licensing to me. It seems more that the user wanted NC-only but didn't find a fitting license tag so he used the BY-SA. It doesn't make any sense to use CC BY-NC and CC BY-SA at the same time. Look at the custom license tag: He doesn't write that one can use the picture under BY-SA or BY-NC. According to the custom license tag choosing BY-NC is the only way to properly use the picture. Additionally the EXIF says "All Rights Reserved". At least the user should clarify that both licenses apply. --Code (talk) 05:25, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't care for multi-licensing either, and I would end it if I could, but it's part of Commons policy. If someone were to use this file for commercial gain, the author would have no legal recourse at all as long as the commercial use attributed him correctly and used CC-BY-SA-4.0. Commons:Multi-licensing gives the full policy on this. INeverCry 17:26, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @INeverCry: I strongly disagree with that. If you want to use the work, you have to make sure you have a valid license. Ambiguities will be borne by the person who wants to use the photo, not by the photographer. Petrovskyz writes in his custom license tag that he has "published this media under the terms of the license CC BY-NC 4.0". Nothing else. He doesn't state he published the work "under both CC BY-NC 4.0 and CC BY-SA 4.0" what would be very easy for him to add. It would be very easy for him to clarify that both licenses apply. As long as he doesn't we have to assume that he wanted to publish the picture under BY-NC only. I do not understand why we should accept his unclear licensing informations. It is very noteworthy that he does not participate on this discussion. --Code (talk) 18:13, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm with you Code (I don't like to see GFDL/NC/ND licenses on Commons at all), but it looks like he may be complying with the letter of the policy. We can ask a few of the local copyright specialists what their take is on this. @Jameslwoodward: @Clindberg: @Stefan2: If you guys have time, can you take a look at this? Should he make his personal licensing template clearer? Is the included CC-BY-SA-4.0 below it sufficient? Thanks in advance. INeverCry 23:58, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Licensing is fine; licensing under both CC-BY-NC and CC-BY-SA makes perfect sense (you can use it in noncommercial derivative works without a license being forced on yours, or commercial derivative works licensed CC-BY-SA). It would be better if both tags were under the "Licensing" header, and of course using {{Multi-license}} before both would help too. Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:22, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would think you'd be called upon to oppose only if you considered the current nominated version inferior to the point of not being FP worthy at all (I mean called upon in the sense that you yourself would feel an oppose was warranted).

  •  Comment I don’t like the fashion of putting up alternatives, as little as I like subsequent editing. Let’s judge a nomination as it is, no further editing being performed (in order not to compromise the votings given before!) and no alternatives. If the work needs re-editing, then better withdraw the first nomination and put the alternative up as a new candidate. This way the voting would be much clearer. --Kreuzschnabel 08:34, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mina de Chuquicamata, Calama, Chile
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Industry
  •  Info Interior view of Chuquicamata, a state-owned copper mine located 2,850 metres (9,350 ft) above sea level just outside Calama, north of Chile. It is by excavated volume the largest open pit copper mine in the world. The huge hole was started in 1882 as a mine to extract gold and copper. It is 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) long, 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) wide and with a depth of 850 metres (2,790 ft) it is the second deepest open-pit mine in the world (after Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah, USA). Note: to get a feeling of the scale spot out a haul truck, which is 9.5 metres (31 ft) long and 4.5 metres (15 ft) high.

    An exterior view of the mine by Poco a poco gained FP status earlier (File:Mina de Chuquicamata, Calama, Chile, 2016-02-01, DD 110-112 PAN.JPG). This interior view is much different. The composition is well done, the technical quality is excellent, and the huge scale of the mine is even more clearly demonstrated. I also love the colors and texture of the rock layers.

IMhO the girl/boy has a forced pose of working, however, composition cut and tight is what make my vote neutral --The Photographer (talk) 21:50, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per The Photographer. Composition looks too tight, like she's too close to the formations. INeverCry 21:48, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Just to see how it looked, I did a slightly rotated version of the file, and it does not look as "tight" as in the tilted version where she seems to be leaning into the formations. Her proximity to the crystals also provides a good size/scale-thing. Let's hope the original editor can take a look at that and see if this is something to consider. w.carter-Talk 22:51, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Palace in Żelazno
@Ikan Kekek: ✓ Done --Jacek Halicki (talk) 11:52, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. However, I'd actually crop even more from the foreground, maybe half the distance to the model of the palace on the right. I'll look at this picture again tomorrow. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:56, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - There's something that doesn't wow me about the composition. It's certainly a good picture, and the composition is well-considered, but I don't really have that enjoyable an experience of moving my eyes around the picture frame. And I think the reason I wanted (and still want) more of a crop of the foreground is that until we get to the shrub on the left side and shrubs and models of buildings on the right, there's nothing (except maybe the hedges, but those don't help with a large swath of ground to the left) that helps my eyes move toward the palace except for the road. I think this is a very good QI, but I respectfully dissent from the votes to feature this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:55, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Especially the minaret looks distorted. -- Spurzem (talk) 21:28, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. I don't feel wowed but I do agree that the composition is quite good. The pile of dirt on the right side bothers me somewhat, but hey, it was there, so it's in the picture. I've changed to opposing, though, because if this building is supposed to have straight walls at right angles, that's not what I see. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:53, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Ikan, surprisingly. Quite good but no wow but an FP needs wow to rise above a QI (see guidelines). Then, I don’t really like the washed-out colours (still, I’ve never been there, maybe it really looks that way) and the perspective distortion on the minaret either. --Kreuzschnabel 08:20, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Yes, I know about the guidelines, but sometimes, I make a bit of an allowance for liking a picture and just for some reason not feeling a wow. I won't make a really strong argument for this picture, though. By the way, there's another picture below that I so far can't decide whether to oppose on the basis of no wow, or possibly to support. I don't feel that "no wow" is a persuasive argument per se, though I sometimes fall back on it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:47, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Never mind. I addressed the other photo below with a more detailed argument than "no wow" and have on reflection changed my vote on this picture to oppose because I don't believe it's likely that a 17th-century mosque really looks like that. In other words, Spurzem's argument seems meritorious to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:01, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks! :) I totally understand your point since I also fought with the decision on whether I should keep the very bright left or tone it down or crop it out. In the end I decided to keep it since the frames form a sort of "color sample gradient" and those usually go from absolute white to the darkest of the color. w.carter-Talk 07:24, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • As you can see from my comment above to INC, I have been debating this thing with myself. I did a version (not uploaded) with that toned down where details are visible. Still not 100% sure what to do... w.carter-Talk 18:49, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Dilly-dallying done. I made a very bold move, given the discussion going on at Commons talk:Featured picture candidates about altering a pic during nomination. Hope this is still ok, or should I 'ping' everybody? The little troublesome white part is now toned down just enough so that details begin to show, at least at full size. Thank you Jebulon for kicking my butt sufficiently to make this alteration. :) w.carter-Talk 19:46, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - That's a very subtle difference to my eyes. It couldn't hurt to ping, of course, but I wonder whether it would make the difference between a supporting and an opposing vote for anyone. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:08, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I feel a bit stupid: I did not read the discussion with INC before writing my own comment...But well, I see that we were at least three (including you), with the same idea, so we are not wrong ! About the change during the nomination: I agree with Ikan Kekek. A) the change is minor, B) it results of a debate, C) it is an obvious improvement, D) and I thik it would/should not change any vote. All is correct for me. Let's feel a real and free minded enthousiasm for this picture. I think the wrapping adds in composition, by the way !--Jebulon (talk) 21:22, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I know, poetic nonsense to most, but we are allowed to be subjective here, that is what beauty is all about. w.carter-Talk 12:05, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Note: The photo I obviously can crop so that the bud is right in the middle. Personally, I find it so playful and in my opinion the proportions. But the review is to you all.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:05, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I think it's oversimplification. Getting through the membrane isn't that simple and protein hormones (like insulin) just connect to membrane proteins, that then pass on the signal with a cascadal process via mediator molecules. Ok, steroid hormones do enter the cell (not that there is any reference that this is the case with this drawing), but just binding to the receptor and then entering to the nucleus without anything happening to the receptor should be rather uncommon (like why should it float in the cytoplasm and then miraculously decide to enter the nucleus if nothing hasn't changed? there should be at least some conformational change in the receptor). And often there are some co-regulators. And then there is amplification, that is totally taken out from the equation in here. P.S: It might be more practical to base your diagram on some specific gene regulation example. You can do the drawing, but I'm not convinced on the scientific backstory. Kruusamägi (talk) 22:40, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • This diagram actually shows regulation of gene expression by steroid hormone receptor. Hormones that are fat soluble (like steroid) are able to pass through the cell membrane directly and produce their effect by binding to receptors inside the cell. So as you mentioned, and I thank you for that, every regulation of genes won't be the same, and this diagram exclusively display gene expression by steroid hormones. Since Steroid hormone receptors directly regulate gene expression, they would enter the nucleus and it doesn't mean that it will be done "miraculously". I also change the description of the file and requested to rename a file to "Regulation of gene expression by steroid hormone receptor". Ali Zifan 01:48, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And as I mentioned before, then there are other issues beside the type of hormone depicted. So naturally I'm not going to change my vote (as if it would had been only that, I would just have suggested to add that "steroid" part into it). And with that "miraculously" I meant that ligand binding usually induces a conformational change in a receptor protein (i.e. there is a reason why it enters the nucleus after binding the hormone). I can't see that in your image. There is just this weird dark hole that is filled. And then again, all of this could be told in an image description and not on the image itself, but there isn't much of a description at a moment.
So, I would definitely wish for a better image description, as at a moment there is more text on the diagram, than on the descriptional part of it. And I'm not fully sure about the used terms as well ("extraocular fluid"(?); and I'd prefer "cell membrane"; and why don't you mention the ribosomes). I don't mind the simplified depiction itself, but without a good textual part to back it up, then it just ain't enough. It is still an encyclopedia. Kruusamägi (talk) 21:42, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral for now. It is an exellently executed image, with the requisite option for several languages, but even the two paragraphs of bio-speak above gives me a headache... As soon as someone with more knowledge than I assures me that the science behind it is right, I'll change my vote to support. w.carter-Talk 13:07, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support per nominator's explanation above; it sounds good enough for me. However, I do think a better color could be chosen than that strong purple, which I see as kind of distracting. Daniel Case (talk) 16:01, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment What are you exactly voting for? Just if the image is pretty or not? As an university student in the field of genetic engineering, this image is a clear no go for me due to the inaccuracies it has. And this nominator's explanation just says that yeah, I had no clue that there are also peptide hormones and I have now updated the image description. How does that "sound good enough"? Kruusamägi (talk) 20:31, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • What do you even mean?! if it was wrong and inaccurate I would definitely withdraw with my nomination; I promise! As I said ,and will say again, this diagram just shows the general steps and basic process of gene expression regulation by steroid hormone receptor. It does not mean that it must depict every single thing going on in the process, because that is not the goal. If those steps were critical to show it would definitely be added. You've already give your opposition and thoughts in here and I don't really know why you are insisting to mislead others about it. Ali Zifan 23:35, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ali, do you see now, why I'm so reluctant to support this?
And if you are already making changes, then please change "hormone" to "steroid hormone" and add marking for "ribosomes". Kruusamägi (talk) 23:22, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done At least to the extent that I could without cutting off the top of the mast. I hope that's enough of a bit. Daniel Case (talk) 18:14, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think that would be the only realistic way to use it. I thought its registration would have run out by now, but according to Transport Canada, it was renewed for another three years. So who knows? Daniel Case (talk) 02:07, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
