No picture. -- Merovingian &#9997;  Talk  18:17, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

Why does every featured article have to have a picture? A lack of a picture is not good enough reason, IMO, to remove an article's featured article status. I am new to this, so I might be missing something, but then again, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a picture book. Could you say what sort of picture would be appropriate for this article? --Conwiktion 15:33, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

(Oops, my bad... apparently, a picture is, for some reason, neccesary. Again, sorry, I'm new.  If that little thing is all that is lacking, I'll keep an eye out for an appropriate picture or two to make into a montage that is appropriate for the article.  I'm not promising anything though...) --Conwiktion 15:36, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I'm going to say this with all the authority I have as the featured article director, and as the one who wrote the FAC directions - by itself, lack of a picuture *IS NOT* suffecient cause for removal. Per se, it simply doesn't meet the prima facie criteria for removal. On the other hand, lack of a supporting picture *is* a valid reason for objection on the FAC (particularly when its addition would greatly enahance an article, such as when describing topics in science or engineering that are inherently abstract). &rarr;Raul654 16:30, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)
