There are issues with the Regan photograph, he has an uncomfortable forced smile, as well as other issues, but this is not the place to discuss an already featured picture is it? --Iankap99 (talk) 18:22, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
He was comparing Reagan's portrait to this one, to explain how this one is deficient. Fletcher (talk) 20:26, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Low notability is not a condition of a Featured Picture. --Iankap99 (talk) 20:50, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, utterly ridiculous. Are you saying we shouldn't be featuring images of famous artwork? Famous historical photos? Absolute nonsense. J Milburn (talk) 23:51, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And your thoughts on the Portrait?--Iankap99 (talk) 00:24, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
None at this time; I may well express an opinion later. J Milburn (talk) 00:51, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'd almost never suggest that someone's comment or oppose "vote" be ignored but at least give a criticism of the image (per the FPC guidelines) otherwise you're just trolling. Cat-five - talk 03:08, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
