Talk:Standing

Images
I've replaced the lead (and only) image with one that better illustrates a standing position. The one I chose is the best one I found in Commons:Category:People standing and it's sub categories, but there are so many I possibly missed some. What I think we need from the lead image is listed below The current image, File:Working Uniform.jpg works for some, but not all of these. The previous photo, File:A man standing in forest.jpg wasn't very good - the man is wearing baggy trousers, isn't very prominent within the image and the surroundings are very distracting.

 * A full-length portrait shot, including the feet.
 * A neutral background
 * One or more people, but ideally no props or other subjects.
 * Definitely not leaning
 * Ideally standing fairly naturally, i.e. not to military attention (we should have a separate photo lower down for this), nor exaggerated posing.
 * Wearing clothing that does not overly hide the body shape, particularly the lower legs - a space suit or wedding dress is very wrong for this article; shorts or a short skirt with bare legs are probably best. A swimsuit might also work depending on the focus of the image.
 * Probably not a fashion photo, as these will tend to focus on the clothes where we want a focus on the natural standing posture.
 * Ideally the subject should be barefoot or wearing flat shoes - high heels give a different posture.
 * Ideally a sharp, in-focus image. A painting might work, but not something in the impressionist style.
 * A single image showing a man and a woman would be ideal - due to differences in their hips men and women stand slightly differently.

This shouldn't be an article.
Anything of interest relating to the verb "to stand", e.g posture, already has its own article. The sections "falling" and "leaning" are laughable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:4870:95F0:7BD1:FBF6:8DEA:5D8 (talk) 22:19, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

The more I read, the more I agree. This article is written terribly, and has no useful information besides redirecting to better articles. ZASNK (talk) 14:34, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
