* '''Support as nominator''' '''[[User:Otolemur crassicaudatus|Otolemur crassicaudatus]]''' ([[User talk:Otolemur crassicaudatus|talk]]) 15:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
* '''Oppose'''. Sorry for being blunt, but this is just part of a POV/POINT spam nomination series by a user that should spend some more time reading WIAFP, checking out the history of previous FPC, and coninue nominating in maybe one month or so. --[[User:Dschwen|Dschwen]] 17:00, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
:*'''Comment''', I don't think your vote was based upon the quality of the image, but instead upon an opposition to the recent activities of the user.[[User:D-rew|D-rew]] ([[User talk:D-rew|talk]]) 18:20, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
::* The quality is bad, but your are right, I extrapolated as I didn't want to waste anymore time with his nominations. Checking just confirmed that suspicion. --[[User:Dschwen|Dschwen]] 19:16, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
*'''Comment'''. The nommed image was just added to the [[Propaganda]] article today, where it joins many other propaganda images. Time will tell whether the image "adds value" to that article; but I don't think that it's possible to fairly assess that yet. The image is also kind of blurry-- is this the best scan that we've got?

*Actually I noticed the size problems with the previous anti-Japan propaganda two noms. down and located this larger alternate from the Library of Congress site. Gave it a quick 15 minute restoration (it didn't need much). Tried a few ways to sharpen it and this was the best balance. It was the only image of this type I found in an hour of searching. Suggestion to nominator: please withdraw other two candidacies. Could find a place at [[Anti-Japanese sentiment]] and similar articles.

* '''Support''' excellent example of period propaganda [[User:Shifthours|Shifthours]] ([[User talk:Shifthours|talk]]) 22:51, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
* '''Oppose''' Poor quality and fairly uninteresting as propaganda posters go. I also agree with Dschwen point, this guy is being a complete [[douche bag]]. -- [[User:Grandpafootsoldier|Grandpafootsoldier]] ([[User talk:Grandpafootsoldier|talk]]) 00:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
**Eek, Have people been filing their teeth to bite the newcomers extra hard? This is someone who's brand new to this and seems to mean well. His first two noms were a little off target so I helped him out. Not sure whether this one will fly, but it seemed like the right thing to be friendly and offer a helping hand. Chew on my ear if you disagree, please. [[User:Durova|Durova]]''[[User talk:Durova|Charge!]]'' 03:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
**Hear hear. [[WP:CIVIL]], [[WP:AGF]], and all those other things that we should all know by now. [[User:SingCal|Sing]][[User talk:SingCal|Cal]] 17:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
***Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the guy that made about 20 failed noms last week, including some highly questionable subject matter? (See [[Wikipedia_talk:Featured_picture_candidates#Otolemur_crassicaudatus|here]] for starters.) I think there were a number of polite prods made last week for him to spend some time here learning the ropes before jumping in again, which may help explain the less polite reaction seen on these. --[[User:Jjron|jjron]] ([[User talk:Jjron|talk]]) 11:51, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
****<s>A particular user being annoying doesn't give someone else the right to break the no personal attacks rule.[[User:D-rew|D-rew]] ([[User talk:D-rew|talk]]) 18:38, 29 February 2008 (UTC)</s> Sorry, I don't know why I put that here, you obviously weren't attacking him. You were just trying to help, sorry if I sounded accusatory.[[User:D-rew|D-rew]] ([[User talk:D-rew|talk]]) 15:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
*****That's true - I was just trying to point out that Durova's comment about him being 'brand new' and this being his third nom weren't actually right, and that some people are possibly questioning whether or not he really does 'mean well'. --[[User:Jjron|jjron]] ([[User talk:Jjron|talk]]) 06:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
******Well, I apologize if that was inaccurate. The basic idea of this type of propoganda poster is a good one. Perhaps the FPC criteria should be updated to give people a realistic idea of how much leeway voters actually give for historic material. I've seen other people read that page, trust what they saw, and make noms that were out of step. Made the same mistakes myself, at first. [[User:Durova|Durova]]''[[User talk:Durova|Charge!]]'' 06:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
*'''Oppose'''. Low quality, adds no value to the article, and not a famous propaganda piece. — [[User:Brian0918|BRIAN]][[User_talk:Brian0918|0918]] • 2008-02-28 14:28Z
*'''Weak oppose''' High enc, but quality is too far under the FP bar for my taste. [[User:SingCal|Sing]][[User talk:SingCal|Cal]] 17:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
*'''Support''' <s>The guy may be a douce bag</s>, nevertheless I think its an interesting photo. It's eye-catching, and it adds value to the article. --[[User:ErgoSum88|ErgoSum88]] ([[User talk:ErgoSum88|talk]]) 19:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
:*Please refrain from personal attacks. They don't add anything of value.[[User:D-rew|D-rew]] ([[User talk:D-rew|talk]]) 05:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
::*You're right, I apologize to the nominator. I just think there should be a rule against nominating more than two photos on the same subject in the same day or even week. --[[User:ErgoSum88|ErgoSum88]] ([[User talk:ErgoSum88|talk]]) 21:24, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
