 * Support and make a set with File:Pied kingfisher (Ceryle rudis leucomelanurus) female.jpg. MER-C 09:52, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose replaced in article with File:Pied kingfisher (Ceryle rudis leucomelanurus) male (cropped).jpg. Tighter crop is better in an infobox. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  22:22, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm sure you didn't mean it User:Buidhe, but replacing an image with a crop of your personal choice to sabotage an FP nomination is not good behaviour. You should simply oppose and state a reason - that is fine. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:50, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I am disappointed you have not responded. I have removed your cropped image and replaced the original using the crop tool. Please reconsider your vote as sson as possible. This is another example of unhelpful behaviur.  Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:12, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * ???? I'm not sabotaging anything. I'm trying to make sure that the image used in the infobox is an appropriate crop for the particular use it's in. For header and infobox images, the CSS image crop template is worse for readers than using a separate cropped copy because it shows up at the original crop in page previews (when you hover over a link).

 * You ignore (or may not know) that people download free-licence images from Wikipedia articles for use elsewhere and with your aggressive cropping efforts they will download an inferior image. If you don't like the crop template, please ask for it to be sorted. It seems 100% OK to me. And you have sabotaged the democratic FP process. I am happy to seek 3rd party admin. opinion on your actions. Are you? Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:57, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I did nothing wrong. There is, first of all, nothing in the FPC instructions that forbid replacing images during FPC nominations. Second, it would be inappropriate for such rules to exist because an internal content process cannot forbid normal, good-faith editing on articles. Third, you are disregarding WP:AGF through negative accusations of "sabotage" when my edits are not at all intended to cause harm to your nominations but instead were done to improve the articles. Any admin is going to tell you the same thing: article content always takes priority over internal assessment processes, as it should on all projects. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  16:23, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Support.-- Vulp here  10:25, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose would support a tighter crop. Tomer T (talk) 11:26, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, we do not need a tighter crop as the image is cropped using the crop template on En:Wiki. If has unilaterally decided that the crop template is not fit for purpose (see above), here is not the place to impose his views. It works fine for me. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:53, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Cool, didn't know this template. Support Tomer T (talk) 06:40, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
