A few points -

Do take the trouble to cite specific instances when making such a general statement.

Since when did being "unique on the internet" become a requirement for any FP?

Do you mean to imply that all featured pictures need to be unique on the internet? doniv 17:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I didn't mean that the picture should be unique on the internet to be FP but it seems to me just a common and less important. Shyam ^(T/C) 09:48, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Since you use the word "seem", I assume that you haven't really checked if this picture is actually common or not. Do search on the internet for photographs of Nishi tribals - maybe you'll reconsider your vote then - doniv 16:23, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Doniv, thanks for your response. I found some links, like 1 and 2. These have this type of feature but it seems not to be so common. So I support to be selected. Shyam ^(T/C) 18:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. Actually the first link you quoted is this same photograph, clicked by me. It's just been inverted and cropped differently - doniv 05:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
