Just a note, the image that was the subject of this FPC was deleted, at the request of the uploader following some concerns raised by another user. Because of the doubt around this type of image, and the fact that there is currently no appropriate place for the image, the uploader thought that it would be best if the image were deleted. This FPC should probably be delisted shortly but I'll let the FPC regulars handle that. --bainer (talk) 05:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A candid photo illustrating diversity

Hi, I shot this photo myself this past summer and added it to the page Cultural Diversity. I don't often toot my own horn, but I like this photo very much and am submitting it to be a featured picture. I think that photo is great for a featured picture because it is a great illustration of an abstract concept and rarely would anyone get an opportunity for such a distinctive photo.

  • Nominate and support. - Jeff 18:48, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: This illustrates only race, not culture. Its current article is not very apt. Redquark 19:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose So that means that diversity comes from the color of somebody's skin and not the content of their character, right? And I don't think it is featured picture quality. Sharkface217 19:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose too politically correct ;) and blurry. drumguy8800 C T 19:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Neutral now that I see that its *cultural* diversity and not just diversity, I'll go neutral on it. However these children are all of a very similar culture, the word we're looking for here is "racial" diversity. drumguy8800 C T 19:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Not enough depth of field, so only the black kid is in focus. Stephen Turner (Talk) 19:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, unless diversity is synonymous with skin color. I'd rather see a juxtaposition of cultures than just skin tones. Walk around New York City for a while and I'm sure the perfect sort of scene will catch your eye. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 21:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per everyone else. --YFB ¿ 01:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Is a picture of three different races together so impressive and shocking? Just kidding, but the pic doesn't really illustrate much. Tolerance maybe? Jumping cheese Cont@ct 09:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Agree with Night Gyr, I don't think that mixing skin colour is that exciting. Alvesgaspar 09:29, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Focus problems, distracting background, awkward composition --Bridgecross 14:29, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Ruled out for me because the distant (white) child looks crowded out - Adrian Pingstone 15:00, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Racial diversity isn't a bad thing... --frothT C 15:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support-All that has to be said. Booksworm Talk to me! 15:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC). Please don't use the term "races" it is such an idiotic idea. We are all humans. We are all the same, regardless of skin colour. Booksworm Talk to me! 15:37, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Weird composition. What is that distracting black arc? Spikebrennan 18:05, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
