- Info A Black Lives Matter mural in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Written in the letters is a partial list of names of black Americans killed by police from Eric Garner to George Floyd. It's a 49MP panorama not because it's so detailed or too big to fit in the frame, but to make sure all of the names are sufficiently big/visible. — Rhododendrites talk | 13:23, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

- Support Good work and valuable photo of contemporary history. Worth to be featured, imho. -- Radomianin (talk) 13:45, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

- Support @Rhododendrites: Just wondering, how did you manage to stitch this image? I can see from Google Street View that there is a lamp post in front of the mural, so you couldn't have taken it from across the street. Getting it perfectly rectilinear and free of parallax errors would seem very difficult to me. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:06, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- I had a couple different sets of frames to play with. What worked best (and what you see here) is a set of 5 vertical frames taken a couple feet from the sidewalk, stitched and perspective adjusted in Lightroom. The distortion wasn't so bad that the guided perspective correction couldn't do the trick. The clear lines probably helped avoid some problems in the stitching process, too. — Rhododendrites talk | 12:34, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose because of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/United_States#Freedom_of_panorama --Jebulon (talk) 12:13, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- It's names written in a straightforward manner within three larger letters. That does not to me, seem like it would surpass the threshold of originality. — Rhododendrites talk | 12:24, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- It is of course a work of art, painted on a wall in a public place. Let see what the discussion says. I have no problems if this picture is kept in Commons.--Jebulon (talk) 14:36, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

- Abstain from voting until the DD is resolved (I agree that's copyright-ineligible in the US, but I don't think we should be voting on it for FP at the same time). Daniel Case (talk) 05:29, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case: My approach is to just evaluate it on its photographic merits at FPC without regard to copyright issues (so long as it's not a blatant copyvio that would have no chance of surviving DR), and have the DR discussion separately without regard to its FP status. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:56, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case and King of Hearts: I think KoH is right. The vote should continue in spite of the DR. If it fails, it could be sad to miss a vote « pro » which could help for a fair promotion or a « contra » for a fair decline. I just express my personnal opinion.--Jebulon (talk) 20:09, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- My opinion above used to be more (ahem) common here. Go ahead, !vote if you want, but I'm not going to at present. Daniel Case (talk) 02:18, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Support per Radomianin. (I have been told recently I should not mind FoP/© issues here on the FPC page. If that applies to French skyscrapers, it must also apply here. ;–) --Aristeas (talk) 07:57, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
