* Support as nominator Spikebrennan 03:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn, move along, nothing to see here. (I still think it's a great image, but this dead horse has already been beaten.) Spikebrennan 03:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• oppose jpeg artifacts noted in previous nomination. Debivort 03:07, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Why don't image talk pages have any indication of whether the image was previously nominated for FPC and failed? Spikebrennan 03:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

If you look at the file links section, and see that it is used in at least one page titled Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/whatever, then it's already been nominated. MER-C 03:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose / Idea, Why don't they make a "This image was a previous FPC" tag? ^8thstar 02:35, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• Probably so the author/photographer doesn't have to perpetually have their image tarred with a "not good enough" tag. —Pengo 15:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • We do already have a "former FP" tag, so I wouldn't think "former FPC" would be much worse... At the very least, maybe put something in the closing procedure about noting it on the talk page, though that step would be easier to miss than "replace the FPC template with a former FPC template." --Peter 19:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Let's move the policy discussion to the talk page so we don't lose it when this nomination is removed. Spikebrennan 20:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
