Five Noble Gases and Hydrogen

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 16 Jul 2010 at 05:47:50 (UTC) Colors produced by electric discharge in hydrogen and the stable noble gases. Glass tubes, with a wire wound over each (which directs the plasma flow).

Reason: Very encyclopedic. As all these gases are transparent in their unexcited state, this is the best way to get an image for them. Given the subject, the resolution is ample.
Articles in which this image appears: Noble gas [All but Hydrogen]; Individually used in Hydrogen, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon.
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Sciences/Materials science
Creator: All by commons:User:Jurii

NOTE Nominated together as all are similar images, of similar quality. It is, however, proposed that they be treated as individual FPs after promotion, not a set. That said, for main page purposes only, I'd suggest using the combined image File:Glowing noble gases.jpg plus File:Hydrogenglow.jpg at a later date.

Support as nominator --Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support I love the consistency for these noble gas illustrations and hydrogen. The quality is there, could be higher resolution, but it's acceptable. Great EV. To bad we don't have one for Radon but with it's cost ($6,000 per 15 picograms) I don't think we'll ever see a tube of it glowing... — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 07:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Also because the most table isotope only lasts 18 days. It's not really a long-term investment. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support --George Chernilevsky ^talk 09:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support- these do not work as a set, as we are clearly missing one (and hydrogen wouldn't be part of the Nobel set anyway). However, I do happily support each of these images being a separate FP. In the same way every species in a genus can easily have a very similar FP, every element in a group can. I think these all warrant a day on the main page separately. J Milburn (talk) 09:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, we'll never have a set since we'll never get Radon... sadly. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 13:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm offering the combined image as a courtesy to Howcheng, mainly. If he has trouble fitting them all into the schedule, then it'd be good to have the option of the combined image. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strained Support Interesting, I don't think I've ever even heard of so many images suggested at once. I'd rather just vote for one image like a merger of the two you mentioned in your supplemental note. Obviously each has EV and I guess it would be good to click each image on its respected article and see each is starred as featured, so I guess I reluctantly support this. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 13:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nitrogen - possible additional FP.

Crap, I missed we also had one for Nitrogen. Well, Feel free to additionally support it, or I'll nominate it later if it's too late to get it added at this time. =) Also Support Nitrogen. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, support that too, obviously. J Milburn (talk) 21:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see why we can't add File:Nitrogen-glow.jpg now, it's same quality level as the others, so support it as well. Just make sure there isn't anymore we're missing. ;-) — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 21:57, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: In the Xenon one, there seems to be a single, strange white pixel to the left of the tube. Can it be eliminated? Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 01:44, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you mark it with Commons' Image notation tool? I can't spot it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:41, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added one. You can only see it full sized, so there was a level of estimating. J Milburn (talk) 10:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, J Milburn found it. It's only visible when the image is full-size. Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 21:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support noble gasses and N2 N2 is also a relatively unreactive gas, so it falls within the same general category. Hence, I support the noble gas photos as well as nitrogen. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 03:26, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Though it would be ideal to merge all of these images into one. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 03:28, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - However, if you did, what article would you use it in? The divided ones would still have to go into the element articles, and it'd ruin the way they're laid out in Noble gas (as well as it being inappropriate to include non-noble gases there). Since Featured pictures must appear in an article... Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:23, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - If these don't pass in this format, I strongly recommend each is nominated separately, as I can only imagine they would pass uncontroversially individually. J Milburn (talk) 09:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you also support hydrogen, which is not a noble gas? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 15:35, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support High technical standard. High EV. Gut Monk (talk) 16:49, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Suggestion Maybe combine them into a single image and name them? User A1 (talk) 21:57, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not possible, or desirable. A combined image has far less EV, and only Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton and Xenon are Noble Gases but Hydrogen and Nitrogen are not and not logically grouped. That and Radon is a noble gas we do not have an image of, and never will, so a combined image minus Radon is lacking the complete Noble Gas picture. This is just a bulk nomination for all these images separately to save time, they're all equal on technical, quality and EV grounds. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 22:33, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Agreed, every one of these deserves to be an FP in its own right, this just saves on the bureaucracy. J Milburn (talk) 23:51, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted File:Hydrogenglow.jpg
Promoted File:Helium-glow.jpg
Promoted File:Neon-glow.jpg
Promoted File:Argon-glow.jpg

Promoted File:Xenon-glow.jpg
Promoted File:Nitrogen-glow.jpg On nitrogen: Supported by Adam, Milburn, raeky, mcshadypl, Gut Monk
That's all of them, promoted. Main page scheduler should note the combined image, File:Glowing noble gases.jpg for possible use (noble gases only). Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 10:33, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
