  - This pic can be added in this article (I think): Order_of_the_Golden_Fleece. But I'm not sure, anyone? Godhulii 1985 (talk) 22:02, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment: Good idea, I'll do.--g. balaxaZe ^{ႫႨႼႤႰႠ} 08:24, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'm really struggling to see the relevance in that article. What does the statue have to do with the order of chivalry? J Milburn (talk) 14:05, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        It is the Golden Fleece Order, that Golden Fleece comes from Colchis, where Medea lived. This statue represents all history of the Golden Fleece in connection with, this Order called itself.--g. balaxaZe ^{ႫႨႼႤႰႠ} 14:51, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose EV, the article it's in it contributes very little if anything too. — raeky t 14:13, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- But this Golden Fleece and this Medea articles contributes many thing.--g. balaxaZe ^{ႫႨႼႤႰႠ} 14:40, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Picture is not in those articles, thus irrelevant for this discussion. — raeky t 02:29, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Where the hell are all these blind supports coming from? Where has this been advertised? J Milburn (talk) 23:37, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't like this one bit, and have raised it on the incidents noticeboard. J Milburn (talk) 23:53, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose: Even if it was included in several articles on en-WP it is nothing more than a tourist snap shot, an underexposed poor quality picture that isn't even close to being "one of the best pictures on Wikipedia". Thomas.W (talk) 13:35, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Even ignoring the copyright issues being raised at Commons, the lighting is very poor. Virtually all detail on the face and left side of the statue is lost in shadow. --Carnildo (talk) 23:21, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
