 * Comment: I seriously doubt that User:Sander.thillart owns a satellite or space ship of any kind. Thus the attribution in the nomination and, more important, the image page is lacking. This is most likely a licence violation. --Dschwen 13:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Conditional support if the licence turns out to be acceptable, it's a great picture. Terri G 16:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but according to this site the image is owned by SpaceImaging, now GeoEye.com. Too sad, because it's a spectacular view of civilization encroaching on the pyramids. Eat your heart out, Richard Misrach. ~ trialsanderrors 19:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose this and this seem to serve almost the same purpose. I'd feel a little odd about them both being featured because I think they would be used for the same thing in the same article.  My opinions on copyright on are on the commons deletion request--but it's clear that we can't do anything until we have a source for the large image. gren グレン 03:19, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, I think they're perfectly complementary. We could even superimpose the graphic over the satellite image. What the graphic doesn't show at all is the urban sprawl and the tourist traffic, which the image does extremely well. In any case, if we're running this FPC under "if it were freely licensed" conditions, I support of course. ~ trialsanderrors 06:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Support It's more interesting than the graphic one. 8thstar 22:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
