- Question - Why is the 2nd image considered better? Is the only difference that it's super slow? If that's the case, I like the old image better as the animation is a lot smoother. Kaldari (talk) 20:47, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- There is a bit of discussion here, but I'm not really familiar with the technical aspects of GIF. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:32, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose It looks like File:2004 Indonesia Tsunami Complete.gif was the one originally nominated for FP, but File:2004 Indonesia Tsunami edit.gif was offered as an improvement during the same nomination and is the one that ended up getting promoted. I guess no one ever bothered to switch them out in the articles though. Personally I think File:2004 Indonesia Tsunami edit.gif (the currently featured one) is a better animation.

- There's no consensus to delist and replace the image. Armbrust The Homunculus 00:35, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- @Armbrust:: Perhaps this could be "reopened"? The status quo is clearly unacceptable- either the current FP should go back into the article, the current FP should be delisted and replaced, or the current FP should be delisted and not replaced. (I know I didn't participate, so this is partly my fault, but, y'know...). Josh Milburn (talk) 11:37, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Reopening this would have little purpose, but anybody is free to add back the current FP to articles. Even Kaldari can do that, if he wants. Armbrust The Homunculus 12:46, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
