Reason: I thought it was informative and it lays down the current geopolitical situation of post-USSR states quite well.

Comment Needs to be made into an interactive graphic, with a nation label popping up when you point to a flag. Without that feature, it's a slightly frustrating image... PS: Happy Holidays to everyone! --Janke | Talk 10:13, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Janke (talk · contribs) It actually is interactive. Check out some of the articles its on. You can click on each one of the flags and cooperative agreements and it will direct you to the corresponding article. I just don't get why that isn't the case on the FP nomination though.

Comment This graph needs to be updated. Armenia will become a member of the Eurasian Union on January 1. On the contrary, Tajikstan is still not a member and it's unknown when it will become one. Furthermore, GUAM is basically a dead union. The last year in the GUAM article is 2007. That's almost 8 years now. --Երևանցի ^talk 21:51, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yerevantsi (talk · contribs) Yes, you're right. But that can always be updated. Étienne Dolet (talk) 08:37, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It would have to be updated before promotion, meaning that this image is unstable. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:34, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The last year listed in the GUAM wikipedia article may be 2007, but the official GUAM web page lists meetings and happenings occurring even in December 2014, so I don't think GUAM is as dead as you think. Updates for the January 1 changes had already been planned, and are now uploaded. As for Tajikistan it was never listed in the diagram as part of the Eurasian Economic Union, it was listed as part of the Eurasian Economic **Community**, which it indeed was.

Oppose This does not represent the best pictures of Wikipedia --DUCK404 a (talk) 01:33, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: Not only is this not a FP-deserving picture, it has a low EV considering the statements of Yerevantsi--DUCK404 a (talk) 01:24, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I don't understand why this is a FP nominee. What is exceptional about this? It has acronyms that are not clarified. It represents countries as flags, which are not identified. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 20:55, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
