[edit] Radcliffe Camera

You're right that it does look quite different from above and I think I mentioned this in the discussion on the page. I still think it looks just as nice, but aesthetics is as you said: very subjective. You're also correct that Oxford isn't far from London, and I may re-visit one day soon. :) I think Cambridge is next though, so we'll see what sort of photographic inspiration I find there!

[edit] Re: Image:Twin lantana camara edit.jpg

Will you please verify the FP vote count for picture Image:Twin lantana camara edit.jpg? I can see 6 support votes for edit 1. Regards, Alvesgaspar 18:50, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

You were right, I've changed it. However, this unfortunately doesn't change the outcome. Thanks anyways. NauticaShades 19:16, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to insist, but I think it does change the result (2/3 majority). Also, you forgot to count my vote (which, of course, applies to both versions). It should then count 7 support and 3 oppose. - Alvesgaspar 19:53, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

6/3 is a 1/2 majority, not a 2/3 majority. Also, I recounted it, making sure to include yours, and found it was actually less than I had thought. Let me go over the supports quickly:

• Your vote: Support = 1
• SOADLuver's vote: Support = 2
• Janke's vote: Weak Support = 2.5
• CountdownCrispy's vote: Weak Support = 3
• My vote: Weak Support = 3.5
• gren's vote: Support = 4
• jjron's vote: Support = 5
• jlao⁰⁴'s vote: Weak Support = 5.5

--NauticaShades 20:05, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• I’m sorry to disturb you again. First of all please forgive my ignorance: I did not know that a weak support only counted ½ vote... But I still don’t think the result is clear enough. Two of the oppose votes (Adrian Pingstone and Samsara) were given before edit1 was published and were based on problems that were later solved (at least partially). These votes (and perhaps the support vote of SudLover, if we want to be straight) shouldn’t count. May I suggest that the picture returns to the section “Older nominations requiring additional input from voters”, in order to clarify the consensus? - Alvesgaspar 23:14, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Let me post this on the FPC talk page and see what they think... NauticaShades

By the way, Newton's Cradle was by Demon DeLuxe, not me; I simply nominated it. NauticaShades 19:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to disappoint you but I oppose edit 1 as well, and have said so on the FPC page - Adrian Pingstone 12:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changing votes

I don't understand why you stroke my vote on the original squirrel image. My intention was really to vote "weak support original" and "support edit 1". Alvesgaspar 17:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Please accept my humble apologies for my misinterpretation. Now I know I still have a lot to learn . s d 3 1 4 1 5 final exams! 17:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

No harm done. Good luck with your exams ;-) Alvesgaspar 17:23, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I have completed two exams, and I have six exams left. After that, I may change my signature to "happy holidays!" or such. s d 3 1 4 1 5 final exams! 17:24, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fruit basket

If you don't mind we should just remove FBs comment on Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/Indian_bride_portrait including our replies. It was just vandalism. That user has nothing but vandalized. Check this, how he transformed a vandalism warning into a welcome template. --Dschwen 15:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:POTY 2006

Thanks for the message. I have no idea what I was supposed to do. Maybe making it a bit more jargon-free might help for next time. I would point out that your message to me that my vote wasn't counted was only a couple of messages away from my confirmation that it was me voting. Never mind, I'm sure it makes no difference anyway. Mallanox 22:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uh...

I voted on 1 February. My Commons username is NSLE-Chacor, and had over 100 edits at time of voting. As far as I can see, my vote has not been discounted. What are you on about? – Chacor 14:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

On the same issue, regarding this your message [1]. Unfortunately, I don't know how to sign my IP automatically, and not sure whether it was necessary. Anyway, my IPs are dynamic so doing it now would be useless. I think my vote should be counted simply because of the diff. Wishes, Ukrained 18:50, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Commons Picture of the Year 2006

Regarding this msg that you left on my talk page, is this diff fine?. --Bluerain ^talk 17:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Regarding diff - I can see it right there on the end of my vote, 81.179.66.146 ... what am I missing? --Stephen Burnett 18:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I followed the diff-making instructions to the letter, and there is no mention in them of referencing an IP in a diff. The diff that the instructions give as an example also does not contain any reference to an IP. Many other diffs on the voting page that do not reference an IP have been left alone there. Why are you only selecting some for deletion, especially given that you are requiring steps that are not in the instructions?--EveRickert 21:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

It may help you to review the diff-making instructions. As you will see, I followed them correctly.--EveRickert 21:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! :-) --EveRickert 01:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
