"Three-colour composite mosaic image of the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16, or NGC 6611), based on images obtained with the Wide-Field Imager camera on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory. At the centre, the so-called “Pillars of Creation” can be seen. This wide-field image shows not only the central pillars, but also several others in the same star-forming region, as well as a huge number of stars in front of, in, or behind the Eagle Nebula. The cluster of bright stars to the upper right is NGC 6611, home to the massive and hot stars that illuminate the pillars. The “Spire” — another large pillar — is in the middle left of the image. This image is a composite of 3 filters in the visible range: B (blue), V (green) and R (red)."
  • Ikan Kekek I think that you're being a bit too negative. If the previous nom was generally opposed or only had 2 people in favor then I would agree that re-nominating an image shortly after a previous unsuccessful nomination might not be very likely to lead to the image passing, but that's not the case here. --Pine✉ 05:34, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd really prefer for you to nominate something else. Even though I previously supported this nomination, I noted problems with the photo. There are other photos that have never been nominated, and I just disagree with the idea of continually renominating photos until they get approved. There is sometimes a reason to renominate, but surely not 3 days later. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:31, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't agree with such a quick renomination. Wait a couple of months and hope for different voters. Charles (talk) 10:26, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose As I understand it, quick re-nominations are ok if the image is significantly altered from the previous nom, not just to nag the present FPC community to vote for it. In half a year, the then voters may come to a different conclusion. --Cart (talk) 10:38, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Strong oppose Allowing such a quick renomination would be tantamount to ruining FPC, as all nominators who had their nominations fail could immediately renominate their image multiple times. Frankly, I find it shows a lack of respect of the voting process. Perhaps we should discuss a rule change: that an image can only be nominated once a year or something.--Peulle (talk) 11:30, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination I disagree with the opposes above because the previous nomination recieved 5 support votes and no opposes, but I am in the minority. I have started a discussion at Commons talk:Featured picture candidates#Minimum time before a renomination in which I invite Ikan Kekek, Charles, Peulle to participate. --Pine✉ 20:20, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the 'ping' Pine. I will probably cast my vote on this, but since you've been away from FPC a while you may not know that we've just been through the wringer of one of the biggest scandals this year here (see FPC talk page), so it's understandable if some users like me are a little weary of debates right now. --Cart (talk) 21:04, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
