  •   Oppose Fails gecoding requirement. W.S. 09:02, 4 July 2011 (UTC). It is up to the nominator to make sure that his/her submission is complete 'before' nominating. Patience is not involved here, correctness is. W.S. 15:58, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • you are long enough member of this community knowing that your behaviour wasn't "correct", especial with your other provocation in the last days, no reason playing the fool. --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:07, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Who's playing the fool? I didn't see your comment on my closing statement here? W.S. 21:37, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment Very nice image but for a VI, I tend to think that a picture showing more different sails (important for a schooner) and giving a better view of the deck, like File:PrideofBaltimore2.jpg, would be more illustrative. I will try soon to geocode that possible alternative in order to open a Most Valued Review. --Myrabella (talk) 17:43, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment I have exactly the same opinion. I try to geocode too.--Jebulon (talk) 22:33, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment the character of a ship is given by the silhouette and not by the deck, so I disagree that File:PrideofBaltimore2.jpg represents this ship in a better way, disregarding that a zoom is giving less information --Wladyslaw (talk) 06:38, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose For a shooner, the sails are of great importance. File:PrideofBaltimore2.jpg or File:PrideofBaltimore1.jpg show more of them. Geotagging those images isn't so easy, because the EXIF data are missing and the event where the photos were taken had a schedule on several days in different places. However, I would say that this image, taken at Chesapeake Bay according to its caption, is at the same location, because of the seashore and especially of the kind of green high structure in the background (a water tower?). It is plausible, Prince of Baltimore II having led the OpSail 2000 Parade of Sails out of the Baltimore harbor in June that year ([1], [2]). Skilled geocoders' opinion welcome. Anyway, "It is perfectly possible to oppose a nomination on the grounds that another Commons image is 'more valuable', even if that image could not itself be a VI candidate (eg because it is not geocoded).", according to Commons:Valued image value. I find the two other images more valuable because of the depiction of the shooner and because they take place during a big sailing event, so I dare oppose. --Myrabella (talk) 07:52, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
