Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Polistes dominulus female (European paper wasp)
Used in	Global usage Polistes dominulus
Review (criteria)	Info - The picture depicts a queen creating a new colony, i.e. a fertilized female which has hibernated during winter  Question Should we make distinctions between the different casts of some social insects (maybe not this one, I don't know), or not? --Eusebius (talk) 10:38, 10 November 2008 (UTC)  Comment - I think we should, provided we have reliable and accurate information. The case of honeybees is an obvious example where a proper identification of the various races would be useful. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC) Here you think it is better to keep "female", not "queen"? --Eusebius (talk) 15:05, 10 November 2008 (UTC) Yes, because contrarily to bees, where queens are different and the result of a different nourichment, queen wasps are just fertilezed females who survived winter -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:41, 10 November 2008 (UTC) OK. --Eusebius (talk) 16:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC)  Support OK for me. --Eusebius (talk) 16:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted. -- Lycaon (talk) 08:58, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
