Featured picture candidates/World War Two Tank

 * Reason:Scanned from an old glass plate neg. It is dated June 6, 1944, the date of the Invasion of Normandy, however I am investigating this further. One editor (see discussion page) has stated that this is "A British Second World War A22 Infantry Tank Churchill."

 * Weak Oppose - The quality isn't so great, even for a world war II tank. &mdash; Ceran (sing / see) 01:58, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose The photo quality is poor and it doesn't depict anything particularly interesting. Nick-D (talk) 06:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose See above The Last Melon (talk) 08:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment maybe further research can shed more light where and when this photo was taken, the sign posts in the background may help in this regard Thisglad (talk) 10:02, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This shot was taken somewhere in The Netherlands. I definitely recognize the architecture and the signs on the buildings are also in Dutch. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 11:39, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose per quality concerns and on grounds of user's previous behaviour. But mostly on quality. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 21:26, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * According to the FP rules, you are meant to judge the picture, NOT the person.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tufacave (talk • contribs)


 * Comment A shame, since I'd love to see more featured pictures on tanks for Portal:Tank, but the angle on this photograph is poor. JonCatalán(Talk) 23:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Question: Why is the image being switched, mid-nomination?  Spencer T♦C 01:41, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Now he wants the duplicate originals deleted. I'm really tempted to kill this nomination right now. MER-C 01:59, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * How about we suspend this until this gets cleared up?  Spencer T♦C 02:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's going to happen. The new one isn't used in any articles, the old ones are plausible speedy deletion candidates and the user's attitude to FPC isn't that great. MER-C 04:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * In support of the above question; since he has changed the image why as he not changed the title or description as this is now clearly not a photo of any tanks or "tank action". The object in the rear is clearly a Universal Carrier (well one of the family of vechiles at least) commonly known as the Bren Gun carrier i.e. a personnel and equipment transporter; the one in the foreground is at a bit of an odd angle and partially obscured so a little difficult for myself to identify but i would stick my neck out and say it is another carrier (of some sort - a Wasp maybe?). So an Oppose from me for the time being.
 * PS: Its my first time in this sort of area but whenever i have had to upload photos/images i have had to use other lisences (usually the historial one) has the correct on been used here and shouldnt there be something stating who the author and what the source was?--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 02:28, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
