Hello Lycaon, how do you know D2X? I don't like pictures without EXIF, too. HBR (talk) 07:24, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

The nominated picture is a derivative of a derivative of this. Lycaon (talk) 11:16, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, not exactly. The nominated picture is a derivative work of a simple copy of this. Sémhur (talk) 16:15, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure? Am I missing something? Lycaon (talk) 18:06, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

May be, may be not. They are not at the usual place; look under the licence. I have found them in the picture, but I don't know how to put them at the normal place. So I wrote them here. Sémhur (talk) 19:40, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

It's OK, I did it myself. Lycaon (talk) 22:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Sémhur (talk) 17:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose Featured photo's eventually end up on the main page and on many; many user pages. Do we really want to promote war stuff? --Estrilda (talk) 10:03, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Yes, we want. Because 1. Commons is not “censored” and 2. because military pictures in peacetime do exist, you know. →Diti the penguin — 13:44, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Please consider the image guidelines: "good photographs are not limited to evoking pleasant sensations". I nominated this picture because I thought it have "something special", not because I like military pictures. Sémhur (talk) 16:15, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
  • do we really want to deceive ourselves into thinking this doesn't exist ? --ianaré (talk) 23:27, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
    •  Comment By giving this picture featured status we are in no way approving of wars, the military, etc. we are merely recognising that this particular photograph has what it takes (both technically and composition-wise) to satisfy Commons requirements and become a featured picture. Commons should not have a political view one way or another; we're here to review images on their own merits. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 02:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
