• Oppose I don't like the fact that the picture doesn't have a background. Looks a little weird to me. --Երևանցի ^talk 16:31, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

• That's what many of promotional portraits have. A plain background makes the subject stand out better. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:42, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

• I'd like to see a portrait with no background that was promoted as a featured picture. --Երևանցի ^talk 22:56, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

• The only one comparable to this pic is Cary Grant's, however, Grant's suit is black, which makes a lot of difference. In this pic, Muhammad Ali clothes are white and it is difficult to see with that background. Simple. --Երևանցի ^talk 23:17, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

• Ever hear of moving the bar? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:24, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

• No, I have never heard that phrase. Is this like an interrogation? Why do you feel the need to confront anyone who doesn't think like you? I clearly stated why I oppose. --Երևանցի ^talk 23:30, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

• Moving the goalposts might enlighten you. You asked a question, I answered. That is not "confrontation" — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:12, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

• and what did I ask? --Երևանցի ^talk 03:18, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

• I'd like to see ... has an implicit question attached: could you show me? Responding to reviewers concerns is part of a nomination. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:24, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
