Original – Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States and first American to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Reason
It's very high quality, even if a large number of fine scratches made it a nightmare to restore.
We do have an FP of him, File:T Roosevelt.jpg but it's barely used anymore, and I'd say that, while the restoration is fine, this is simply a better photo. Don't think we need to delist the old one, but I leave that up to others to decide after this passes.
Articles in which this image appears
Theodore Roosevelt + like 30 more, more if you count the 3x4 crop (used because it better goes along side the terrible image we have of his vice-president in a few articles on elections; Did check, didn't find a better image for Alton B. Parker, so it's probably best to cater a bit. Compare [1][2])
Comment – At the time of this comment, this image does not appear on the Theodore Roosevelt article. Another editor is trying to reinstate a different version, which is black and white, and cropped. --Wow (talk) 11:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ech. Just because someone didn't document their changes and passed off a desaturated version as an original is no reason to use it. In any case, it's stable in every other article. Adam Cuerden(talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs.14:49, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Haile Selassie I, reigned from 1930 to 1974 as Emperor of Ethiopia
Reason
It is a high quality image, it has multiple articles featuring it, it also is the official portrait of an Emperor, that being Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia. Is among Wikipedia's best work.
Comment: It's odd that we have a non-free image in an article about a film that is itself PD; could I encourage you to look into that, Yann? Josh Milburn (talk) 17:56, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann: By which I mean, too light, too dark, needs adjustment in the lower end to bring out detail, too saturated? There's a lot of possibilities. Adam Cuerden(talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs.05:33, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Presuming the original is accurate - and it's a museum scan - I've readjusted accordingly, allowing for the slight levels adjustment as the original is quite dark in the lighter areas.
I try not to over-speculate in the absence of evidence in that line. But I do know for a fact that different copies of photos can have wildly different exposures, and often do, and that sepia images can also vary a lot in tone between copies of the same photo (both of these were very hard to precisely reproduce between copies, as they involved some very precise timing. For an example of how much things can vary, while they're not exactly the same image, compare the tones of [3] and [4], or the exposure of [5] and [6]), so I do think a little tweaking of a widely reproduced image isn't so bad.

Original – Promotional picture of Daft Punk after the release of Random Access Memories, 2013ALT – centered version with cloned in right side by User:W.carter
Reason
Quality photo with a sleek shine. I am willing to say this photo is highly compelling.
The Henry Fonda pic above is also what you might call a ″Commercial promo pic″, as are many other older photos of actors and artists. I wish that more agents would release the copyright of at least one or two good hi-res photos of the people they represent, that would give us better images for many articles. Cart(talk)13:38, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don't think it would be accurate to say the author of the photo is 'unknown'. If one checks the commons page, one would see that it is attributed to the uploader: مداد عمان – Howard🌽3322:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't find the empty crown interesting at all, and at full rez its detail isn't great. For this user the interest lies in the collage of nutty colors. -- Sca (talk) 14:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As stated on the file page, it was photographed in natural daylight. There was an overcast, so the light may have been a bit blue. Other than that, all colors are as nature made them. If desired, the color temp can be tweaked. Cart(talk)17:02, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first line of FP guidance states that 'Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles'. So if not in the infobox, they should add significant EV in some other way. One test surely is that if the image was removed, would we lose significant EV? So if the acorns were shown in a timeline, indicating the stages of growth and colour changes, then that would add EV.

Comment This is a terrific image, but I agree with Brandmeister that the full-body photo of the female has more EV, and it's also a great photograph in its own right (wonderful posture!). One point in particular regarding the EV: the full-body photo of the female gives an excellent view of the feet, which are obscured in the other lead photo in the species article (the Harrison photo of the male). This matters, because the feet are what this family of birds, the Megapodiidae, are named for. That's what makes the photo of the female such a good lead image for the Megapode article, and gives it a value that the nominated detail, for all its excellence as an image, doesn't have. Charles, how would you feel about nominating that photo instead? Choliamb (talk) 14:22, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Flowering Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica), a plant native to East Asia; classified as an invasive species in North America and Europe.
Reason
High quality photo, illustrates the subject well, stable main image in article
This is a historically significant image of a high technical standard, with a high resolution (2,784 × 1,713 pixels). It is already recognised as a Featured Picture on Wikicommons. It is one of the few illustrative depictions of Bresci's trial, and adds significant encyclopedic value to the respective section of Bresci's article. It is in the public domain and all the details of authorship, creation and publications are known and detailed in the file description. Minor image manipulation was carried out to cover up a page break in the middle of the image.
If you have access to the original still, given this is a two-page spread, I'd prefer it at higher resolution and including borders and original captions. Tentative Support if not, though. Adam Cuerden(talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs.21:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The amount of reworking that's been done to hide to join makes me uneasy. It's blurry in some places and there are others (such as the pattern on the stairs) where the current revision contradicts the original. At the same time, there's a lot of attention to detail that makes me think that truly hiding the crease isn't possible. Given the choice, I would favor a B&W version of the original, preserving the join as an innate aspect of the physical, analog source. Moonreach (talk) 15:49, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – Very dramatic, but this user isn't usually a fan of nighttime water-reflective compositions, which don't present the subject as well as daytime photos do. – Sca (talk) 14:11, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose From having visited this rather strange monument (which the official guide notes was in part constructed to discourage Germans against democracy), the photo doesn't really capture how it appears. A daytime photo would have stronger EV in regards to appearance, as well as to better capture it's rather over the top design: there's a risk that night shots glamorise it.

Original – Image of Trou au Natron taken from space
Reason
The image shows the appearance of the crater in the arid landscape, emphasizing both the volcanic neighbours and small volcanoes in the crater, which shows white layers of lacustrine deposits.
No, the one you linked to has less pixels per mile. ESA has a version Here but that's also less pixels per mile. I was comparing it to Google Earth's top view. But that's not really a good comparison. Google uses multiple images, lots of processing, and very likely AI sharpening, so the result can be somewhat fake. The nom image has 400 pixels per mile, and per This link that is technically "high resolution". Same as This FP. It's just that the nom image looks soft at full size. Per MER-C, some (or all of it) is because of the original's small file size (449 KB), although I don't see any JPEG artifacts at full size. I sharpened it slightly. And for archiving, I uploaded the original as a separate file. Bammesk (talk) 18:29, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bit of a borderline case, this image illustrates the neighbourhood and appearance of the volcano Aguas Calientes rather well: Both the lake with animals (oasis in an otherwise desert landscape) and the activity of the neighbouring volcano Lascar
Support – It could be sharper, but it shows 2 volcanoes in a somewhat remote location, so good EV. I prefer ALT with slightly less sky on top. The ALT is a temporary CSS image crop, I will replaced it with an actual crop if it gets the votes. Bammesk (talk) 03:32, 1 February 2024 (UTC) . . . . The sharpness is fine, the foreground lake (and camera) is 10 miles from the volcanoes, and the two volcanoes are 3 miles apart. Bammesk (talk) 03:32, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason
This image shows both an inactive geyser cone but also a large cut of the surrounding landscape, including the gas vents that form a haze, the multicoloured and textured deposits from the geyser cone and the surrounding desertish landscape.

Original – The waterbodies of Cotacotani
Reason
This image shows the typical appearance of "Lake" Cotacotani; it is more a labyrinth of waterbodies embedded within debris from a giant volcanic landslide, thus characteristically illustrating what such a landscape looks like.
Comment There is only convention, no rule, but we wouldn't normally nominate so many together.

Reason
Interesting image that shows how comet evolved with time.
Oppose - I'd prefer actual photos. Furthermore, this is an artist's impression of an astronaut's impression, so not first-hand info. --Janke | Talk10:39, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a good semi-historic documentation of the event, and if we didn't have the infobox photo [10], I would have supported. But I prefer the infobox photo (which is noisy at full size, but acceptable for 1974). Bammesk (talk) 04:01, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the nom image is a good visual documentation of what happened, and is based on first hand observations (not unusual for 1974). It has good EV. Bammesk (talk) 18:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – It has EV, for the era, in displaying the side effects in Great bison belt#Euro-colonial effects. @Yann: there is 'retouched template' plus a 'compressed template' on the file page, so is this a contrast adjusted version of the original Here? If yes, then why the heavy adjustment? Or is this a direct scan of an old print Here? If it's a direct scan (unadjusted) of an old print or negative, then I support. Bammesk (talk) 00:54, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yann, I did a search and found This print, the link includes both sides. It looks like an authentic print. It matches the negative. I don't quite understand the darker version, the nom version, it looks like a night time (or evening) photo. I wonder whether the darker nom version was the dominant version published (or used) at the time. The lighter version (the negative) looks more realistic. But if the darker version was the dominant print at the time, then Ok, I would support it. Bammesk (talk) 04:08, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Four Hopi women on an adobe roof of Walpi pueblo in 1906, looking down at the plaza where dancers are performing. The women have traditional squash blossom hairstyles, indicating they can be courted.
Reason
striking, often reproduced/printed photo by a notable photographer, now in a restored version
Comment Despite the image only being a photogravure, it's on the Library of Congress list of "Miscellaneous Items in High Demand". Luckily, a second photo from the same event is preserved as a photo print, so I could use that as reference when I restored this one. Cart(talk)22:29, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The writing has to do with the printing company who printed the photogravure, not the photographer. As mentioned above only this photogravure has survived, not the original plate or a photo print. The photographer only made small number notes on his prints, as can be seen on the print of the other photo of the scene. Cart(talk)14:01, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think there's arguments. I usually go with "Is there a salvagable border?" Because weird grey paper (due to being a black-and-white-scan, when paper tends to have a very slight yellow tone) isn't really worth saving. I'd say Support, as long as the text cropped is in the description. Adam Cuerden(talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs.08:49, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know you're half-joking, but I would oppose this. I'm certainly not someone who believes that cultural appropriation is inherently evil and colonialist, but I think it is important not to make the appropriative use the primary one in which a cultural tradition is understood. Particularly for something like this that is coming out of a now severely endangered indigenous culture, the original context should always be primary, the later reference secondary. Anyway, this is a great and important image--thanks for restoring it and nominating it. blameless19:40, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your input, and I agree with your reasoning. I come from a culture where we freely float odd ideas and we like to brainstorm, to see if anything constructive can come from it.

Original – Cover for the waltz arrangement of the music of the opera Doris (this was a common thing for popular operas at the time, often with lavish covers) by P. Bucalossi. The opera was by Alfred Cellier and B. C. Stephenson.
Reason
A rather nice... I want to say four-colour lithograph - Yellow-blue-black-white, and I do mean white ink. Illustrates an opera with few other available images, the other big one being the polka by P. Bucalossi.
Thankfully, this is not a "pure" rule of thirds. That so-called rule is just a guide for newbie photographers to keep them from placing everything in the middle. Once you are more confident and advanced in image compo (like JJ Harrison certainly is), you can finetune how you balance the photo with other parameters. Cart(talk)19:55, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original – An aerial view of the Garni temple in central Armenia. (Caption by photo author on Commons)
Reason
Aesthetically appealing (good composition and lighting) and technically informative (showcases the temple in its environment, with people for scale). There is some slight graininess in the dark areas at the highest resolution, but I believe it's subtle enough to be acceptable.
Articles in which this image appears
Garni Temple, plus equivalent pages on four other language Wikipedias

One of Chaperon's most gorgeous set designs. It must have been stunning on stage. Opera is... not a particularly famous one, but it is an image from the première production.

Adam, reading the "ownership" section of the article, it remained with the Fabri family until 2018. I think we can assume? 2018 as its first publication date (in the U.S.). If so, and the author passing in 1941 (70 years plus), that would make it PD in the U.S. Bammesk (talk) 02:26, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Charles Fabri, owner/custodian of the painting, worked for (wrote for [12]) Civil and Military Gazette, an India based newspaper. The painting became a national treasure and legally had to (and still does) remain in India. So the presumption that there was "no U.S. showing" is reasonable.

Comment – I like this image. FP criterion #5 says "It is preferable to wait a reasonable period of time (at least 7 days) after the image is added to the article before nominating it, though this may be ignored in obvious cases". I suppose this is an obvious case, though most nominators would wait. Same with your other nominations.

@Bammesk: For the record, adding an image where none existed is almost always a good reason to ignore the waiting rule, in my opinion.

Oppose This is an unremarkable photo of a building, with nothing indicating that it's a company store. As such, the EV doesn't seem very strong. Nick-D (talk) 10:08, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sdsds, that's better, but it's noisy when viewed at full size. Also, when used in the satellite article, it doesn't show the satellite itself, so it's EV (FP criterion #5) isn't strong. Bammesk (talk) 02:10, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We have a few that exist in multiple states, and this is part of the stage design process. The next is seperating out the backdrop from the standing pieces, etc. And, of course, it's from 1833, so well before options like photography existed to document final state.

Infobox image in main article, excellent photo of iconic view for any Swede. To non-Swedes mostly know as the venue of the Nobel Banquet. Blue hour winter photo that eliminates all the tourists, foliage, boats and commercial stuff that usually clutter this area. Bonus points for including the noted Västerbron bridge, which also gives depth to image.
If you crop it, you lose text and also make the multi-layered coloured more confusin to interpret. It's CSS cropped in the article, which is less destructive. Adam Cuerden(talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs.00:24, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, artistic styles have moved on a lot, but I don't think this is bad for its time, it's just a discredited effect after it turned from "look at the neat effect these cameras can do with a flash" to "...everyone's camera can make a photo like this easily" Weak supportAdam Cuerden(talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs.08:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original – The extent of the Boundary Fire showing the ignition site as a flameALT 1 – The extent of the Boundary Fire showing the ignition site as a flame
Reason
High quality map that I created using public domain data that I think fulfills the FP requirements
Comment – Fine for target article, but questionable EV by main page standards. (All FPCs approved here are perforce potential candidates for TFPs.) – Sca (talk) 15:04, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I took a similar photo of bushfires near Canberra at night in the 2020 bushfires, and agree that the technical difficulties are quite significant here. This photo is dramatic and useful, but isn't of FP standard technically. Nick-D (talk) 03:18, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Diliff's usual careful framing and resplendent detail. The lavishly illustrated article contains three other photos of his his. – Sca (talk) 16:06, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
