Edit 1, rotated per spikebrenan and froth

Although, it's obvious it might not be very pleasing to many eyes, the quality and encyclopedic value of this image is certainly enough to make if FP. It's the most informative image of Strabismus surgery and other eye surgeries that we have. It's used in Strabismus surgery article and Eye surgery. Created by: User:Bticho.

  • Nominate and support original. - Arad 12:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • For me, the edit kills the composition, although that is the right way it should be, i prefer the original. --Arad 21:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I'd love to oppose, but that would be a bit biased. I think I'll skip this one, because I can't stand looking into that wide open eye. Brrr... How can you stomach it Arad? | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 13:58, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • lol. I said it, it's not pleasing to many eyes. I don't like it, it really has a ewww factor but this is an encyclopedia and as result, we'll see pictures like this. But i can promise you, this is not my Desktop background. ;-) --Arad 19:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Illustrates the article perfectly. It might not be appropriate for the main page, though, but that's not a requirement for featured pictures. — BRIAN0918 • 2006-12-01 14:19Z
  • Support. Per great quality shot and encyclopedic value (and ewwwww factor!) :o) Would love to zoom out to see what the instruments look like, but I feel that might take away from the composition... tiZom(2¢) 14:49, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • loool, i love comments like this. --Arad 19:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Wow! Awesome. High enc, and a picture not everybody can easily take (subtle pun intended). The caption (on the image page) needs a little attention though, I can understand only half the words. Sounds like smurfal smurfus muscle being smurfed following pre-smurfment of smurfyl smurfes. A Smurfo locking smurfeps is grasping the smurfor smurf of the muscle, while a Smurfson-Smurfi scissors does the cutting. The eyelids are being held by a Smurf smurfum to me. --Dschwen 15:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • That's true and funny. --Arad 19:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support edit 1 - this is my new desktop background! Oh wait ...yugh. Debivort 20:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak support Support original Great and stunning pic, but might be too graphic for the front page. It's not that pleasing to the eye (hehehe, eye)...so there might be a problem with criterion #7. Nonetheless, this pic deserves to be a FP. Jumping cheese Cont@ct 20:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - Ouch! Yes, support, great shot, now can I stop looking at it?!? SteveHopson 20:49, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, I agree that it's unpleasant, but it's quality nontheless. --RandomOrca2 20:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support! It has high resolution, high quality, fairly descriptive, and pleasing to the eye: "This page highlights images that the Wikipedia community finds beautiful, shocking impressive, and/or informative." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SINFUL OCTOPUS (talk • contribs).
  • Weak support original only. Lovely...it's got enc, but it's not as sharp as I'd like, and there's some noise on the instruments, etc. --Tewy 23:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
    • There's no real reason to rotate it, and the edit seems upside-down. --Tewy 01:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Complaints about unpleasantness are irrelevant, it's extremely illustrative and of high quality Leon 04:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Nice quality, encyclopedic, but do you really want that staring back at you on the front page? --Dgies 05:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support — Dgies, Wikipedia isn't censored, so there is no problem displaying a highly encyclopedic image on the front page. ♠ SG →Talk 06:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Yeah yeah I know. So in principle it's fine. That doesn't affect my gut reaction though. --Dgies 05:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Detailed and sharp, though PotD might want to give it a miss. NauticaShades 09:24, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment You mean it can be nominated, but not appear on the main page? If that's the case, I'll weak support. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 11:29, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment It can appear on the main page; History of Erotic Depictions was article of the day recently, illustrating that wikipedia is not censored for minors!!! Even so, that is not a criterion for featuredness Leon 11:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support per nom JanSuchy 16:52, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support an extremely rare, extremely useful, and amazingly well-captured shot! Jellocube27 17:05, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Eye-catching, aye aye! High enc. and a subject not easy to find with a free license makes me support. --Janke | Talk 21:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - First time I saw it, I thought it was a bit gruesome. However, it is a great picture and it is a picture of something that is not commonplace. Overall, I think it is a pretty good picture. Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 23:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support and comment-- may I suggest inverting the image so that the eyebrow is above the eye rather than below it? Spikebrennan 03:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC) (update: I support either version but my preference is Edit 1)-- isn't the patient laying on his back on a table, so the surgeon could be standing either at the patient's side or facing the top of the patient's head, as the situation dictates? I don't know anything about surgery.)

*Weak support -- Great encyclopedic, however as spikebrennan pointed out the eyebrow below the eye is a bit disconcerting --frothT C 06:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Support, with a suggestion of the "the ratio and resolution of this image makes it suitable for desktops" message. Because who wouldn't want this as their desktop image? SnurksTC 08:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Why has the name of the image been changed? It was perfectly named for english wikipedia, where it was uploaded by Bticho, and should have been reuploaded with the same name on Commons too. The article I was editing, Eye surgery now has an image with a french name?!! Any reasons???? EyeMD T|C 13:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Answer Yes, indeed it was replaced by the French name. Because It's much more faster and efficient if we have 1 image (if the licence is free) on commons which can be used on all Wiki projects. If we want to have 1 Insertion Du Muscle CO.jpg for each language, first of all, no one has the time to upload a pic for dozens of languages on wiki. So it is a much wiser idea to upload all free licence image on commons for access of all projects. The french name is not a big problem either. I hope i had answered your question. --Arad 19:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak support all: It's intuitively difficult to identify the orientation of the face with only one eye visible out of all the parts of the face. So rotation isn't going to help. --frothT C 19:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support original Ugh, but it teaches me. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 21:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The image should stay as it is unrotated since it shows the procedure from the surgeon's viewpoint. ~ trialsanderrors 00:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
    • We aren't discussing if it should stay or not, we are discussion if it should be featured or not. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 00:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Ahhhh, I agree. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 01:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Very weak Support It reminds me of the time I saw a documentery on eye surgery. I still think it shouldn't be on the mainpage if possible. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 01:12, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support- Ouch! painful yet very informative. --Lewk_of_Serthic contrib talk 01:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support per all the above points. It scares yet captivates me. Perfect for Wikipedia! Sharkface217 04:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. - Mailer Diablo 11:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support edit 1 so that's what my surgery looked like (and why I can't judge an FP candidate to save my life). --Bridgecross 14:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support edit 1. --Ghirla -трёп- 18:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral on original, oppose edit 1. ~ trialsanderrors 19:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support either, and I look forward to reading through the apoplectic comments when this appears on the Main Page. GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 22:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support and RE5PECT for all doctors makin' that tough job. - Darwinek 23:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support That looks painful. Lovely sharp hi-res image, though. Good job! - Clevedon-Tom 20:41, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
