 * It's a Featured Picture on Wikimedia Commons. It's indicated.--ComputerHotline (talk) 20:03, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but it's not a FP here. Commons and en-WP FPs are different.  howcheng  {chat} 03:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Close-up photography
You'll need to explain why it's not the same thing, not just say it, otherwise someone else is likely to do the same thing. -- Patchy1 09:14, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Because close-up photography is where the reproduction ratio is from 1:10 to 1:1. More of "macro" photographs are really close-up photographs. --ComputerHotline (talk) 10:55, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Repeating the content of the article doesn't help me to understand the difference. In any case, the difference doesn't appear to be significant, so I would suggest adding a new section to Close-up about the differences you are referring to, because as it stands the titles of the two articles are ambiguous and you need to provide enough context so that someone unfamiliar with the subject can understand what your talking about. At the end of the day your article will be redirected to the existing article. -- Patchy1 11:07, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
