  • It's both a weather shot and a space shot, and I think seeing how the clouds appear from space especially over such a large area has good EV. --Pine 19:43, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since this is just an alt and the common practice when we have a nomination for an original and an alt is to keep the original until the nom passes and then if the alt is more popular the closer replaces the original with the alt in the article, I didn't replace the originals in the articles. If someone thinks this is a problem for this nom then I'll do it myself while this nom is happening. --Pine 05:58, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's fine. But criterion #5 does say the image needs to be in use: "The image is used in one or more articles.[2] It is preferable to wait a reasonable period of time (at least 7 days) after the image is added to the article before nominating it, though [the 7 day wait] may be ignored in obvious cases, such as replacing a low-resolution version of an image with a higher resolution of the same image". I've already seen where FP images aren't recognized as "better" or useful by editors of the image's respective articles (I linked to such an image in one of the current nominations), and their say is just as important as ours, except they don't (or don't want to) participate here. With your nom, I don't see the big deal, but I don't see the reason to slip into poor habits either. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 06:18, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
