Image:Boys toys.jpg


I have allways thought this was an interesting picture. I took it on the outskirts of Pnomh Penh in Cambodia in 1991 during the U.N peace keeping operation. Local kids used the abandoned tank as a climbing frame. Unfortunately I have no idea what sort of tank this is,who left it there and why, or what (if anything) has happened to it since. I wondered if anyone else could add these details and if Wikipedia could find a use for the picture. Dave59 17:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

 * No-one seems to be objecting, so I'll replace all instances of this picture with the edit. If there are any objection, I'll undo it. Nautica Shades (talk) 17:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It would be a good picture to illustrate an article on military debris or debris of war (if those are the correct terms), but we don't seem to have such an article. Demining operations tend to be well known, but some of the same organisations that do mine clearance also clear debris. A web search suggests that the HALO Trust is one organisation that does the clearance of military debris in Cambodia, so it might be appropriate on that page. There should be some other more high profile pages that would be appropriate too.... actually the debris article could use an illustration as well as a section on military debris. -- Solipsist 19:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * OK well I've added a 'war debris' section to debris, which is a start. As for the tank, it looks like it might be a M41 Walker Bulldog. Don't ask me how I worked that one out. I really know almost nothing about the Cambodian Civil War and have no familiarity with tanks of that era. -- Solipsist 21:07, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks Dave59 09:39, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I have a very limited familiarity with tanks and from everything I can determine, it does appear to be the M41 Walker Bulldog. I've added a short note to that effect on the image page. –ArmadniGeneral (talk • contribs) 04:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The colours on this picture are bland and/or off. The saturation needs to be punched up and possible the curves changed. Also, the name gives no idea of what is in the picture. - Zepheus (ツィヒアス) 23:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The concept is cute but technically it's not a great picture, the lighting or colors are off, not enough contrast between the boy and the tank. --woggly 11:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Zepheus and woggly, you seem to think that someone wants to nominate this for FPC, but this is far from the case. This section of peer review is for finding articles to put pictures in. Besides, a good edit could fix may of the problems you just listed. Nautica Shades (talk) 10:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, although my editing skills are rather bad, I have uplaoaded my attempt at improving this photograph. What do you all think? Nautica Shades (talk) 18:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I hate to rain on this parade, but it's too blurry to make it through FPC. -- Pharaoh Hound  (talk)  12:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I hope you realize that this section of Peer Review has nothing to do with FPC, and focuses on finding articles for certain pictures. Nautica Shades (talk) 13:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry. I have been told that this section was for FPC. I apologize fo any confusion (though I'm quite confused myself). -- Pharaoh Hound  (talk)  13:10, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
