Machado de Assis

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 1 Aug 2024 at 17:25:59 (UTC)

Original – Brazillian author Machado de Assis

Reason: Full disclosure: I'm not sure the skintones are perfect, but that's typical of photographs of the time. In photographs of him in crowds he doesn't appear to be so dark-skinned that I'd consider this entirely misleading, and this article describes him as a "light-skinned mulatto" - I presume that last term is much more acceptable in Brazil. Still, at least to modern eyes, it's probably lightening his skin at least a little bit. They tended to put a lot of light on the faces of dark skinned individuals to try and pull more detail since the film of the time lacked good differentiation of darker colours (and probably for racist reasons as well).

That disclosure and the problems noted therein aside, for the time, this is quite a good photo. I did tweak levels to make it as unmisleading as possible. But I do believe that one should be honest about any flaws in the image when nominating.

Comment — I see what I think is macroblocking in the mid-tones of the face. Apart from that I would be inclined to vote support; the other flaws I see are minor and derive from the photo's historical nature. Moonreach (talk) 17:29, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Napoléon (1927 film)

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 3 Aug 2024 at 00:08:09 (UTC)

Original – Napoléon is a 1927 French silent historical epic film directed by Abel Gance, starring Albert Dieudonné as Napoleon Bonaparte.

Reason: Napoléon (1927 film) is a WP:FILM/CORE article, and Napoléon entered the U.S. public domain last year. It's the best-known work by director Abel Gance, and probably of the French impressionist film movement.

Technical notes because this one was a doozy: The pillarboxing here is intentional, in the last 20 minutes there's a famous sequence where it becomes a widescreen Polyvision arrangement. The extreme length means we're approaching Wikipedia's technical limits, and only low-quality transcodes succeed so you have to select "Source" in the video player. I kept it as a single video since it wasn't released in parts and 2Mbps is still equivalent to a video2commons output. The alternative is a 4-video set of each act (higher bitrate, HD transcodes would complete, and no letterboxing on the first 3), would be great if reviewers indicated the format they'd prefer.

comment Translations qualify for copyright. Do we know their status here?©Geni (talk) 20:04, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
From what I can tell, the American Film Institute provided English intertitles for the restoration. The film's U.S. (and UK) release came in 1928, so the English-language sources for the translated intertitle text would also be public domain now. hinnk (talk) 20:55, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Take in consideration that the 1928 US and UK release versions had different lenghts (the US version, at less than 2 hours, was shorter and had it's intertitles rewritten by MGM). --Mayimbú (talk) 07:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That might explain it then. Brownlow describes having collected prior footage with some of the English intertitles and then AFI stepping in to provide the rest, with the BFI National Film Archive later reshooting them to standardize their appearance. It sounds like intertitles from the different English-language versions got combined. hinnk (talk) 08:41, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Separate but "equal" drinking fountains

Original – 'Negro drinking at "Colored" water cooler in streetcar terminal, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma', a photograph by Russell Lee

Reason: Per last nomination, a restored version. I'm using the title from the Library of Congress; The word negro was a lot more acceptable and polite in 1939, but it feels wrong to change the title at our end before the holding library does.

The original two copies show film edges there.

Comment – Visual information not readily intelligible to general readers/viewers. – Sca (talk) 01:23, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is a really nicely made diagram. I think it relies on familiarity with some concepts that the lay reader won't have, especially if they're more used to digital production. Here are some thoughts on how this might be communicated more clearly:
- "Head" and "tail" have technical meanings that aren't explained in the article and aren't obvious from the diagram.
- The dotted lines aren't explainable from the diagram alone, so if the reader doesn't know what the splices looks like, they see a Shot 2 that's exactly 5 frames long but a label that says it goes past that.
- The difference between A-roll and B-roll isn't clear from the diagram. It maybe would work better if the durations of the shots were different, or if the frames used images that would be understood as primary footage and a cutaway.
- How these strips relate to each other or the final print isn't explained. This maybe connects to the other point, where showing the exposure of the primary shots, with a few frames in between, and then a separate exposure that fills those in with a simple-looking insert to create the full version would work better.

I hope any of this is helpful. hinnk (talk) 02:19, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As a retired filmmaker, I consider the correct term for this image not "B-roll", but "A-B negative cutting/editing". B-roll by itself means extra footage, and the illustration is not about that. Thus, the explanation text and the image are in the wrong article. Would support the image if it were in an A-B cutting article. --Janke | Talk 11:02, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Scream

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 6 Aug 2024 at 00:23:28 (UTC)

Original – The Scream is a composition created by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1893. The agonized face in the painting has become one of the most iconic images in art, seen as symbolizing the anxiety of the human condition. Munch's work, including The Scream, had a formative influence on the Expressionist movement. Munch created two versions in paint and two in pastels, as well as a lithograph stone from which several prints survive. Both painted versions have been stolen, but since recovered. In 2012, one of the pastel versions commanded the at-the-time highest nominal price paid for an artwork at a public auction.

Reason: one of the most well know, iconic and well received art pieces of all time

Question Is this the recognized 'best-according-to-art-experts' version and are the colours/tone true to life? Charlesjsharp (talk) 07:07, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there are black pixels (0, in the join at right) and totally white pixels (255, white brush strokes) so it appears the exposure is spot on. However, the tone curve may be off, making the overall look very murky... Haven't seen it "live", so I can't say for sure. --Janke | Talk 10:47, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greenfield tornado

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 7 Aug 2024 at 03:12:57 (UTC)

Original – A photograph of the 2024 Greenfield tornado, the strongest tornado during the tornado outbreak sequence of May 19–27, 2024

Reason: Extremely high EV for one of the strongest tornadoes ever recorded, and the third highest wind speed ever measured on earth (Tornado records#Highest winds observed in a tornado). Tornado was also academically studied (Research on tornadoes in 2024#Greenfield tornado) by several organizations. High EV public domain photograph no less as well.
NOTE: The image barely fails the second FP criteria, as it is 2,048 × 1,366 pixels. However, per the criteria, "Exceptions to this rule may be made where justified on a case-by-case basis, such as for historical, technically difficult or otherwise unique images", so this is being nominated under the grounds of an exception to FPC #2.

Question - The source credits Isaac Polanski via Twitter. His post corroborates this. However, I'm not seeing if he is working for the US Government; rather, he is a "stringer" for a storm media licensing company (Their Twitter). Are we sure that the NWS had the right to release the image into the public domain? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:50, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Crisco 1492:Yes. Per Template:PD-NWS on the Commons. The NWS actually has this clause stated for users submitting images to them: "By submitting images, you understand that your image is being released into the public domain. This means that your photo or video may be downloaded, copied, and used by others". One of the other tornadic Featured Pictures (File:Lincoln, NE EF3 tornado.jpg) is under the same license on the Commons as well. Tons of discussions on the Commons have determined it is valid. To not clog this FPC up, I won't link them all here, but if you want me to, I can link you several discussions on the Commons surrounding the PD-NWS guidelines.

To give TheNuggeteer credit, they clearly went through the checklist and tried to satisfy the requirements.

That said, I see a number of flaws that prevent me from supporting this one: Streaking in highlights, low resolution, muddiness in mid-tones, and less-than-ideal framing.

Kinemacolor coronation drill

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 9 Aug 2024 at 16:33:38 (UTC)

Original – A Kinemacolor film taken at Reedham Orphanage in Richmond, London in 1911, in which the orphans perform for guests. The film demonstrates both the capabilities and limitations of the Kinemacolor process, which supported two colors rather than the three used in modern processes, and displayed them through sequential, alternating frames.

Reason: Lively demonstration of the Kinemacolor two-color film process, an important milestone in the history of color photography. Apart from imperfections in the original, this is a very good transfer. The frame rate is at or near real-time (often a problem with showing films from the hand-cranked era) and in HD. The source at the Internet Archive (1) says these are the original colors plus a white-balance pass. Kinemacolor was also a sequential color system, which is why some movement has anaglyph-like effects to it.

Support Interesting example of pre-Technicolor movies, amazingly little color strobing in the fast-fluttering flags! (Partly because the red and blue registered only on respective frames...) --Janke | Talk 17:18, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This does seem to have the frames blended, inasmuch as pausing it in any given place still shows both colors. I checked our copy against the one on the Internet Archive and found that it's the same there; both are 25 fps. While I would have liked to see a version that preserved the sequential color, I'm not sure that would have been possible. I also don't think it would have made a difference as far as the strobing goes. Since a small period of time elapses between the color changes, there's no version of this where the colors would have lined up perfectly. That's an unsolvable problem akin to reconstructing a single frame out of interlaced video - you can get close, but never exact. Although the bitrate of the Internet Archive copy is higher, and maybe we should upload that one just to have it, this is otherwise about as good as it gets. Moonreach (talk) 20:47, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Excited to see this getting nominated, I was just looking through this article last week after going through some predecessor films by William Norman Lascelles Davidson. We only have one other HD example of Kinemacolor, and this video does a much better job of showing how it captures different kinds of motion. hinnk (talk) 19:27, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I uploaded them to IA. This film, the shortest of them all (7 seconds of footage repeated 3x), is the only one which was digitized in HD. The others are all 720x576, except for a few scenes in the Delhi Durbar, which are even lower quality. Cesias7 (talk) 08:23, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I am neutral on voting. The source link says "This painting is an old copy of the original kept in Naples at the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte". I assume the original painting is the infobox image in This version of the article.

The Legacy section of the article has a paragraph on copies, and no mention that "Bruegel the Elder" did a copy. It says his son "Brueghel the Younger" did a copy around 1616 (the father died in 1569). This source says the nom version was done by the son (I am not sure about the reliability of the source though).

Nosferatu

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 16 Aug 2024 at 05:07:11 (UTC)

Original – Nosferatu is a 1922 German silent horror film directed by F. W. Murnau. It is an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula.

Reason: Nosferatu is on our WP:FILM/CORE list and remains one of the best-known silent films. For many years it was officially pulled from circulation (as an unauthorized Dracula adaptation), but it's since been restored by the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation.

Support. I have some of the same technical quibbles with this as I did with the portrait of Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, from a few days ago, but the fact that you can see the film grain convinces me that the soft areas are authentic to the source photograph rather than a reproduction shortcoming. I have one suggestion: remove a bit of hair that got on the negative around the dress's waist area if you think you can do so cleanly. It's the only thing I see that you missed on your otherwise very thorough restoration. Moonreach (talk) 18:31, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We may be looking at different things. I'm looking at a very thin, irregular white line that curves through a sort of flower design at the waist. If you still think it's part of the costume then leave it; it's not a deal-breaker either way. Moonreach (talk) 13:17, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original – A fishing boat at Bukit Chendering, in Malaya, in 1962

Reason: This is the first time I've nominated at FPC so I am not very familiar with the criteria. I've reviewed them and the only one I'm uncertain about is the resolution, but since this is a historical picture and there's no way to get a better resolution image, I think this qualifies. It's currently only used in one article, in the Bahasu Malaya Wikipedia, but I don't think that's a criterion.

Hurricane Ivan from the ISS

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 23 Aug 2024 at 14:15:18 (UTC)

Original – From Commons: As Hurricane Ivan's sustained 200 kilometer per hour winds wreaked havoc in the Caribbean, the swirling eye of the hurricane was photographed on September 11, 2004 from aboard the orbiting International Space Station (ISS) at an altitude of about 230 miles.

Reason: Ivan was a major hurricane and news story in 2004. This is a good shot of a cyclonic eye from above; I believe the parts of the ISS you can see make for an interesting juxtaposition. While the file has some imperfections at full magnification, remember that it's a 20-year-old digital photo. I tracked down and uploaded NASA's original version (minus the white bar at the bottom with the number string) so we could have the best quality copy. If it passes, this would be a good candidate for featured picture this September 11th, since that will be the image's 20th anniversary.

Original – The Scolopendra gigantea, AKA the Peruvian giant yellow-leg centipede or the Amazonian giant centipede. It can grow up to 12 inches! (30 centimetres)

Reason: The picture is of good quality and depicts the centipede well. Although one of its sides appears to be shaking/in motion. I also went for this because I originally wanted to do Chandelure, but its picture is owned by Nintendo, of course, so I couldn't, so I decided to do something else, and I thought of doing the Scolopendra gigantea!

Strong oppose Image is of low resolution, low size, and low quality. Head suffers from motion blur, subject is partially cropped off, parts of the subject is too dark to see, parts of the animals are out of focus, and the detail is too low.

Looking closely I did notice that it was a little blurry. You are right about the motion blur at the head and the heavy shadows. I think I agree with you. Sometimes I don't understand things well and when I think I do, the picture ends up being out of focus.

I feel sometimes like there's a double-standard on photos of famous people. Old photos, especially those in black and white, never seem to face this particular challenge, even though their compositions are otherwise often similar. Moonreach (talk) 18:03, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's largely due to the relative rarity of photos before the modern era. Spielberg must have been photographed on film sets and at movie-related events on many thousands of occasions. Nick-D (talk) 22:36, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While I don't doubt they exist, is it a fair comparison to make if none of them are free use? I went through all the photos in the Commons category "Steven Spielberg by year," and the only high-resolution one I found that sort of shows what he does for work is this. The fact that Spielberg is still alive and a better photo could be taken of him is technically true, but it's also hypothetical. Moonreach (talk) 14:51, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The resolution is low 1,471 × 2,205 pixels for a 2023 photo, it borderline fails FP criterion #2. The camera has much higher resolution. Otherwise a nice portrait.

Original – Man with a Movie Camera is a 1929 Soviet documentary film directed by Dziga Vertov.

Reason: Man with a Movie Camera is a WP:FILM/CORE article listed in the documentary and Soviet sections of our List of films voted the best. This version of it has less physical wear than other copies and never got cropped to fit a soundtrack on the film strip.

Question - What's the source on the English-language subtitles/captions? May have licensing implications. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They're from File:Man With A Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929).webm, but retimed for this video. The film doesn't really have intertitles, so the closed captions are limited to like 4 sentences from the opening titles and a few short phrases that appear on signs. hinnk (talk) 22:35, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You mean File:Man With A Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929).ogv? I noticed that there is a dearth of text, but the explanation of the film's conceit at 1:00 is long enough that new copyright could have been attracted for the translation. The Internet Archive does not give a source for their digitization (the source of the .ogv), and so I can't see where the closed captions come from.

That being said, I'm leaning toward the view that the one screen of text is de minimis in an hour long film... Support, with that note. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:09, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, not that one. In the TimedText page creation you can see it was copied from the timed text for File:Man With A Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929).webm.en.srt. I just noticed that one has the original Russian as well, so I've done some fixes and rewording based on machine translation. hinnk (talk) 00:32, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sunset on Pluto

Original – The terrain and atmosphere of the dwarf planet Pluto, as imaged by NASA's New Horizons space probe 15 minutes after closest approach on July 14, 2015.

Reason: Iconic, unique photo of Pluto taken by the New Horizons probe in 2015. It's just under 1500px on the short axis, but I tracked down NASA's official version and that does seem to be the resolution it was imaged at. Already a featured picture on the Indonesian language Wikipedia.

Support - Excellent quality and EV, size is reasonable given the distance it took to reach here. I was pleased to see that the article details the layers of haze - that's enough for a blurb on its own. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:09, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
