Valued Image Promoted

★ Your nomination has been reviewed and promoted ★
Congratulations! The image you nominated was reviewed and has now been promoted as a valued image. It is considered to be the most valued image on Commons within the scope:
Peter Sutherland, 1985, portrait photography.
If you would like to nominate another image, please do so at Valued images candidates.

review

•  Comment The image is from 1985 its appearance has changed a little since ... it would be good to give the date in the scope. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:37, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

  @Archaeodontosaurus: is it really necessary? ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 18:15, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Simple; for the initial scope you chose this image: Peter-Sutherland-2011.jpg is better. If you want to defend the other then focus the scope with the date. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 19:22, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment But a single year is arbitrary because we would normally not be able to recognize the difference between a picture of someone in 2011 and 2012. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:53, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment I agree but in this case the two images are too different. Each case is a special case. It is difficult to choose if we slightly modify the scope by adding the year the two images can be promoted and VI. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:03, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Understood. But a single year is too short a span to be recognizable. Should we do it by decade? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:20, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

File:Robert Knight Barney.jpg

Please explain why you have tagged File:Robert Knight Barney.jpg for deletion. I have read Commons:But it's my own work! and will e-mail permission from myself. Flibirigit (talk) 01:04, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Flibirigit. Sorry, but I couldn't tell whether it really was your own work given the lack of metadata. ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 03:56, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I am unsure why there is no metadata, and have no idea how it works. I took the photo with my phone, cropped it via Paint 3D, then uploaded it. Flibirigit (talk) 04:01, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh OK, that's what probably removed the metadata. ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 04:42, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

How does we resolve this concern? Is there a way to keep metadata when cropping an image? I still have the original uncropped version of Mr. Barney, and I assume the metadata would be intact. I have no idea how to find the data. I notice that this uncropped photo taken with the same phone has the metadata. Flibirigit (talk) 13:18, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

When you crop a photo in some image editing software, it can sometimes remove or alter the metadata. This depends on the specific software and how it handles metadata. Paint 3D may not preserve the metadata by default. ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 22:27, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
