The Tortoise and the Hare

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 17 Jul 2021 at 00:20:50 (UTC)

Original – All sorts of dodgy dealings going on here; suspected interference with a competitor, race fixing; 'randomised' drug testing wouldn't go amiss; never trust a human-handed stork with an umbrella. Also the hare could show some respect to his rival by changing into games kit.

Reason

Looks pretty (that's still the main criterion, right?), Rackham needs representation, all other criteria secondary (but still met)

• Support as nominator – Belle (talk) 00:20, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose - Quite soft in full size (upscaled?), barely fulfills size requirement. Also, the facetious caption is quite unusable as such. --Janke | Talk 08:13, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

  What are we using the FPC captions for? Genuine query, I've never seen them used anywhere but in the nominations, but I haven't nominated anything for seven years. ...and if barely fulfilling the size requirement is grounds for objection we should raise the size requirements.Belle (talk) 10:35, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

  My objections were in the order of importance; the softness alone is enough. A good caption suggested here might even be used as such in the Picture of the Day on the main page... --Janke | Talk 14:00, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

  I wasn't dissing your softness objection, I just wanted to know if we had started using the captions for something outside FPC while I was away in case I was risking a spanking for being silly. Belle (talk) 15:00, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
