Info Let us make it clear from the start: If you like the background or not, I love the colour contrast of the butterfly to it. And there is no more room below so I had to crop it above in about the same distance. All by me. -- Hockei (talk) 18:32, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support I love that you have the guts to nominate a photo with such a "non-Commons" crop; filling the frame like that feels fresh. The total color experience is great, soft, warm and lovely. This could be a print on something in a high-end store. --Cart (talk) 20:02, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Cart is right, it feels fresh. Not because you filled the frame (that can look quite static and boring) but because of how you did it. The diagonal flower. The butterfly making its own diagonal that is not quite aligned with the flower but does provide some symmetry due to how the wing tips are positioned relative to the left and right edge. The composition is clearly structured, but still feels very dynamic. --El Grafo (talk) 08:11, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Provisional oppose due to licensing issue I think that the image is great, but I have a concern. The file page says "Overwriting my file is prohibited. If a different version is created, it must be uploaded under use of the template derivative under another name and linked here. The Category Images by Hockei has to be added in the other version." I am not aware of a Commons policy that allows an author to place a restriction on the file like this. The author seems to be licensing this image with a variation of the Creative Commons license, and as far as I know custom licenses such as this are not allowed on Commons. Please consider revising the license of the file. --Pine (✉) 21:13, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not at all what you say. I just want anybody not to overwrite my file. I have my reason for that. Look at here. This user Amara overwrote my file with a thumbnail again and again. But my work is my work. Anybody can use my picture according the cc by-sa **. Therefore what you write is completely nonsense. Please don't bring me in a discussion for that. I have no time the next few weeks. Just think twice before you write such stupid stuff. --Hockei (talk) 21:45, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What that user did was simple vandalism. They should have been blocked for it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:28, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Pine: Agree with Hockei, this is Commons-only, non-copyright restriction in line with COM:OVERWRITE guidelines. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:32, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Hockei and King of Hearts: thanks for the comments. I think that a creator requesting that others not overwrite the file is okay, and I think that a creator requesting that others contact the creator first before overwriting a file is okay. However, unless I have overlooked something in COM:OVERWRITE, I do not believe that a creator is permitted on Commons to make a permanent and complete prohibition against someone else from overwriting a file. My comment here is not intended to support edit wars regarding versions of a file. If Hockei changes the comment on the file page from "Overwriting my file is prohibited." to "Please do not overwrite this file without consulting me first, and if you want to edit the file then I request that you upload the derivative as a separate file.", I would be okay with that request, and I hope that Hockei will agree to this softer wording. Thank you. --Pine (✉) 00:53, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment And what has this to do with the FPC-nomination? You demand compliance with rules from others and don't stick to it yourself. Find a valid reason for your oppose or cancel it. Everything else will be clarified later at another place. --Hockei (talk) 15:11, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Hockei: I agree with Pine that you should consider a softer wording than "prohibited" simply to create a more collegial atmosphere. That said, I don't think this restriction is meant to apply to the license and hence cannot render it invalid (i.e. I don't think Hockei intends to hold those overwriting his file on Commons in violation of the license, merely in violation of COM:OVERWRITE guidelines). And to be technical about it, is overwriting others' files really not prohibited? Per IAR there is no dividing line between makruh and haram, only a sliding scale of undesirable actions. If someone persisted in overwriting other people's files after being repeatedly asked not to, a block could very well be in order. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:46, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
