File renaming
  •  Comment The file name looks odd. I assume it's meant to imply that this is an image done 'after'/(derived from) the original photo, so probably just bad choice of language. But since he is not even wet, the photo is probably taken before he jumped off the bridge, and the title looks misleading. --Cart (talk) 16:19, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Cart I appreciate your input on Arion's work. Given that Arion is still mastering English, it might be beneficial to not only comment but also suggest specific corrections. This could help clarify your point and assist Arion in understanding and improving --Wilfredor (talk) 16:04, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
From what I can see, it wasn't Arion who named the file. Arion is simply the nominator. But if you'd like a name suggestion, I would say that "Houdini jumps from Harvard Bridge, Boston, Massachusetts) - John H. Thurston, stereopticons LCCN2015650990 - restoration" could be a good name. It's similar to how other restored photos here at FPC are named. If Arion likes, I could help rename and move everything to a new name (even during the nom) to make sure no links are broken and the nom can continue smoothly. Just tell me what you want to call it, and I'll fix it. --Cart (talk) 16:18, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm ok with the renaming. ★ 16:41, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was going easy on my hands in advance of a concert, and I also think people were waiting for the issues about the filename to be resolved (another factor for me). Is anyone else interested in this file? I think it's quite an interesting historical photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:24, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
