Original – Cabinet card of W. S. Gilbert by Elliott & Fry

Reason: Given the original is about four and a half inches wide, and I'd say it looks quite good zoomed in to 12" wide or more. It might not be perfect if you pixel peep, but it's great at much larger than original size. Also, d'ye know how long I've been looking for an image of him to restore?; Fun fact: My "to nominate" list is getting quite long as I try to weather this voting drought.
Articles in which this image appears: W. S. Gilbert + 7
FP category for this image: Given he wrote many non-musical plays and books, WP:Featured pictures/People/Artists and writers seems to fit slightly better than /Entertainment

Support – and featured article too. Answer: a long time! Bammesk (talk) 02:08, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Hopefully one as good of Sullivan can be found somewhere, too... --Janke | Talk 10:20, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe not quite as good, but good for its time. It's about a decade earlier. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.1% of all FPs} 21:01, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Well done. He is the very model of a modern major librettist. Choliamb (talk) 03:00, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Currently User:Choliamb has a total of 86 edits (now 102 edits, by 18:25 UTC time) on the en-Wiki ~~making them ineligible to vote at FPC~~ (per instructions on top of WP:FPC). But given the user has 2550 edits on Commons, I think that's sufficient and we can make an exception in this user's case. Pinging participants @Adam Cuerden, MER-C, Janke, and Choliamb:. Bammesk (talk) 15:10, 5 November 2022 (UTC) . . . . I struck part of my comment, the user passed 100 edits on the same day they voted. Bammesk (talk) 14:56, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, I didn't notice that restriction. It's true that I'm much more active on the Commons than here at Wikipedia. That said, I've been spending the morning cleaning up some citations of early editions of Greek and Latin texts, so I should be over 100 edits by the end of the day!

I mean, I don't think I have the right to say "Yes, promote my image." But, as it appears the vote is valid at time of closure anyway, it probably doesn't matter. Armbrust has final call, as always. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs} 04:12, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
