Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/North America

View of North America (orthographic)

 * Reason:Excellent resolution, good quality. How can we feature a picture of Ireland before good ol' North America?
 * Articles this image appears in:North America, List of extinct languages of North America, List of North American countries by population density, Water export
 * Creator:Terra satellite

 * Oppose Great idea--perhaps we should consider a featured set of the 7 continents--but this image simply isn't high rez enough. We already have Image:Whole world - land and oceans 12000.jpg. The only benefit of this image I see is that it focuses on North America and not the world. If we need such an image, crop it from the link above. (Ireland, by the way, had clouds showing the natural climate, not just geography.)--HereToHelp (talk to me) 03:58, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
