Set nomination: Rotary snowplow in action, not featured[edit]

  •  Info Let's try something new and crazy :) All by Kabelleger -- Kabelleger (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info Rotary snowplow RhB Xrotd 9213 working on the Bernina Line at Lago Bianco, Switzerland.
  •  Abstain as author -- Kabelleger (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support WOW! Very interesting and nice quality! --George Chernilevsky talk 06:45, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Good, but I wouldn't promote all of them. The second one isn't IMO good enough to be featured. —kallerna™ 10:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I would choose the last one (4) only, as it shows the actual rotary plow. --Loadmaster (talk) 17:25, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree that the last one on its own is great. The second last also adds very significant value because it shows the action well (and has nice colours and composition). But I don't think the other two add enough further. So I would support the set of two, but not four. --99of9 (talk) 09:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment IMHO the first one is important because it shows how the snow actually gets onto the track (I wish I had a closer picture of the special car that scrapes the snow off the sides...). I put the second one in not because it adds much EV, but because I think it looks nice and it fits into the set. --Kabelleger (talk) 20:54, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I personally feel this is a valid set nomination. The work of a snowplow cannot easily be shown in one image so a set is a valid approach. I do feel that a set of three or maybe two per 99of9 might be sharper and I would probably support such a set. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 11:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I would like to support (1) collage of these four figures, or (2) the animated .GIF, where these 4 figures will appear one by one. -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 20:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I'm with Dschwen here. If you need a collage for some article, you can easily put the pictures next to each other in whichever way you like. Animated GIF is even worse, you cannot show a single picture out of the set, cannot modify the rate at which they change (it will always be the rate I chose when putting it together), you cannot add a description to one of the pictures, and, worst of all, it only supports 255 colors, which will look horrible. --Kabelleger (talk) 21:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support. Valid set nomination, very nice pictures, and they complement each other. Pasting them together is rather pointless, that's what we have set nominations for. An animated GIF would be even worse. Do I have to spell out why? --Dschwen (talk) 20:30, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Very interesting and valuable pictures. Unfortunately, I don't think the composition is as superb as with your previous train FPs. The third one is best IMO, but the machine is unfortunately hidden behind the snow stream. A picture with both the vehicle and the action visible in one shot like File:Rotating snowplow on Bergensbanen.jpeg would be great, but difficult to take these days of course. --MattiPaavola (talk) 11:15, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmed results:
Result: 2 support, 2 oppose, 1 neutral → not featured. /–Juliancolton | Talk 00:53, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
