Nominated by	Martinvl (talk) on 2018-02-24 22:25 (UTC)
Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Giant's Causeway viewed along the line of the lava flow
Used in	Global usage fr:Chaussée des Géants it:Selciato del gigante nn:Giant's Causeway pt:Calçada dos Gigantes
Reason	This is a UNESCO World Heritage site. I believe that this image shows how the causeway got its name better than any other image in Commons. According to legend, the Scotish giant Benandonner built the causeway so that he could battle with the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill. On being fooled into thinking that mac Cumhaill was much bigger than him, he fled back to Scotland, ripping up the causeway as he went. This image shows all that is left. In a previous submission, another editor noted that it would involve considerable work to review this image against all its contenders. If others feel that this is the case, please list any worthy contenders and I will resubmit this nomination again, but as part of a MVR. -- Martinvl (talk)
Review (criteria)	Oppose This type of image, showing most of the site, might have been suitable for the scope of Giant's Causeway; as an alternative to the exisitng VI. For the chosen scope of basalt colums this part of the site should be chosen. Charles (talk) 10:34, 25 February 2018 (UTC) Scope changed from Giant's Causeway basalt columns to Giant's Causeway viewed along the line of the lava flow --Martinvl (talk) 22:08, 25 February 2018 (UTC) Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn". @Charlesjsharp:  Info The new scope reflects both the geological explanation of the phenomena and also the mythical explanation. If one were to follow this flow through the sea, one would emerge in Scotland where the lava flow terminated.
