Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Armenia

Armenia
OK, so this is admittedly an unconventional review request since it is not about a single picture, but here goes anyway. I have lived in Armenia for a number of years and have a number of pictures I think would be cool to feature, but the thing is, as I read the comments for the pictures nominated above, I can see that some of the more educated pedians take into account things I've never heard of. So I thought I'd post a list of some of my favorites, which are already on my own wiki - and ask if some of you could tell me which are your top 2 choices (if any). I would have done this on the talk page - only there isn't one... so anyway, here is the list of pics. If it seems one or two are well liked, I can upload them and make sure the WP page is decent as well. If this is all just too unconventional, I guess this nomination can be deleted... --RaffiKojian 10:28, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

 * That's rather a lot to look through, so I've only glanced at the first couple. "Noravank" is interesting, and could stand a chance on FPC, if you provide a higher resolution version, and add it to the WP Noravank article.  The cropping of the left edge of the monastery could get complaints, though.  Also note that (for any FPCs) you'll have to remove the armeniapedia.org watermark, and release it under GFDL or other free licensing. --Davepape 15:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * True, it is a lot, but I hope you'll find the clicks worth it! Yep, I realize if any of these make it along in the process, I will be uploading them onto WikiCommons at full res without a watermark...  so that's no problem.  If an article is not present on Wikipedia, I'll even create that as well. I just think these are some pretty unknown gems and it would be cool to expose the world to one of 'em.  --RaffiKojian 17:48, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well then, having looked through them all now, I'd say my favorites are Noravank (except for the slight cropping problem), Goshavank_entire (if you cut out the person's arm or whatever that is in the lower right corner), and Haghartsin_across (though that one's hard to judge because of the size & watermark, plus it needs an article). The petroglyphs are possibly interesting as well, but again the size makes it hard to say. --Davepape 15:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm surprised nobody else wanted to comment on any of the pics - unfortunately the Noravank pic is too low in resolution (I checked my original), so I am sure it would not be appropriate. I'll check the other 3 pics - hopefully I have one or more of them in high res.  --RaffiKojian 02:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Seconder:
 * Why not just upload the entire lot to Commons in full resolution without watermark? It's impossible to make any useful comment on those shrunk versions. Maybe there are 10 featured pictures in there, maybe there are none....Stevage 11:41, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
