I'm a bit puzzled about the EV. What does the 'water for life' sign have to do with the monument? Is it an advertisement, or does it relate to the monument in some way? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 18:19, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The sign has nothing to do with the monument. It's an advertisement for the governmental agency, MUWSA. I have no idea why though.--Muhammad(talk) 18:27, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - FYI, it appears that site for the government agency is 'dirty'. Firefox blocks it with "This web page at www.muwsa.or.tz has been reported as an attack page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.". When I ignore the warning and visit it anyway, AVG blocks an exploit on the page called "Exploit Script Injection-359"... Ðiliff «» (Talk) 19:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I get a similar Firefox warning. Maybe you should remove the link? Fletcher (talk) 22:09, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not too thrilled by the upward angle on the statue. --Dschwen 19:26, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are allowed to oppose if there's something you don't like Dschwen... Your response sounds like you don't like it anyways...Gazhiley (talk) 22:13, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And am I allowed to comment on a picture without putting a support/oppose label in front of it? --Dschwen 22:50, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, it's just that, as I wrote above, your comment sounds like you don't like the image because of the upward angle - that to me sounds like a classic Oppose... Gazhiley (talk) 10:53, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose For me the advertisement kills it, very distracting. Also not keen on how the base is cut off. Fletcher (talk) 22:09, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Main draw of photograph is the advertising and thus I immediately thought this picture was to do with that... plus as per Fletcher base cut off... Poss Speedy close? Gazhiley (talk) 22:12, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with Gazhiley- I look at the advert first. J Milburn (talk) 22:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- don't like the composition, don't see the relevance of the advert. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 09:33, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Sorry, I agree with above. The composition and subject doesn't have a lot of wow, and EV is a bit low in the articles. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 11:20, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have not received these many opposes for a very long time ;-). Withdraw --Muhammad(talk) 13:01, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
