Unfortunately, it needs to be in use in articles on English Wikipedia to be eligible for featured picture here. I think the easiest way forwards would be if you worked with someone to make a really well-sourced article on yourself, which this and other images could then be added into. (It would also provide context that could be linked to from Ed Koch's page). Now, obviously, you'll need to be a little careful: writing your own article is frowned upon, but, so long as you mainly act as a supplier of reliable sources to show your notability and such, it should be fine. A quick web search shows ample evidence that you're notable. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 04:47, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your comment, Adam. I nominated this picture because in Featured picture criteria it is not specified that an article must be in English, and cannot be in Russian. If you can, please support this nomination.
- User:ГатиловСергей who published the two articles above is a curator who worked with me on several exhibitions. Maybe he will publish an English one too.DmitryBorshch (talk) 23:39, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support although I hardly believe other wikipedians will vote for this pic because it's not in any en.wikipedia.org page...Godhulii 1985 (talk) 01:18, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose until used. EV on the English Wikipedia is not derived from the Russian Wikipedia. It's that simple. Or should a POTD blurb be in Russian? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:39, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Suggestion Hi Crisco, since you've admin right so please modify Adds significant encyclopedic value to an article texts of Criteria for featured pic page. Mentioning that the picture must be used in english wikipedia would be helpful. No-7 mention about file description being in english, not about being used in en.wiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Godhulii 1985 (talk • contribs) 21:44, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think it's perfectly clear. This is the featured picture process on the English Wikipedia, for featured picture status on the English Wikipedia. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:30, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
