Voting period ends on 3 Mar 2014  at 17:50:27 (UTC)
 * Reason:We're lucky to have some excellent photojournalism coming out of the Ukraine just now. This deserves recognition, and, while there are numerous photographs deserving consideration, I think this would make a good start. Any imperfections can be waived as they're irreplaceable.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Both are in February 2014 Euromaidan riots. Image 1 additionally appears in 2014 in Ukraine and 2014 in Europe
 * FP category for this image:Not quite sure. One of the History subcategories, certainly, either Featured_pictures/History/War or Featured_pictures/History/Others
 * Creator:User:Amakuha
 * Just a little background: this building witnessed all the recent major fights for independence of Ukraine: Revolution on Granite, Orange Revolution and Euromaidan. So seeing this building burnt down marks new age in history of Ukraine.
 * The photos were shot when it was unclear whether there would be shooting on Maidan Nezalezhnosti. Luckily, it was mostly quiet at that time.
 * On the other hand, I don't consider these pictures to be of high quality neither. But thanks for nomination! -- ΑΜακυχα   Θ  22:40, 21 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Support both (set) as nominator -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:50, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support as timely & dramatic. Sca (talk) 18:34, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support both - I have some reservations, of course, but unless something better comes out I doubt there's gonna be much we can do about the quality. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:51, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak support image 1, Oppose image 2 Both of them have quality issues, but while the first one has merits in depicting the event, the second one, I feel, does not. It's just a burning building, and there's not enough else in the image to serve as proper context. I will say that I wish File:Protesters throwing pieces of paving during and metal tubes at riot police during clashes at Bankova str, Kiev, Ukraine. December 1, 2013.jpg was of better quality, because as an image I feel it has impact. Sᴠᴇɴ Mᴀɴɢᴜᴀʀᴅ   Wha?  01:03, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * weak support both This is a bit recent so maybe we should wait for it to settle.--Theparties (talk) 10:25, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support both as noted above, almost irreplaceable -- Ե րևանցի talk  17:07, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support top, Oppose bottom. The latter really doesn't add much and loses much of the context, would end up being rather confusing if separated from the first. Not a good standalone Featured picture. Mattximus (talk) 21:29, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support both - I prefer the top one more. ///Euro Car  GT  03:33, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support Image 1, gives a wider perspective on what's going on and how it looks like. Brandmeistertalk  21:32, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
