Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Henry Halleck - gravestone
Used in	Global usage en:Henry Halleck, wikidata:Q504369
Review (criteria)	Support - Useful, but Rhododendrites, one comment: These are the gravestones, not the graves themselves, which are holes in the ground. I think you should change all the scopes to "gravestone". I will affirm in advance that my votes to support will be valid after the change in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:15, 17 May 2017 (UTC) @Ikan Kekek: Thanks. I was mainly going by the wikidata property ("image of grave"), but I think you're right. I came across a recent discussion on enwiki regarding the use of the arguably euphemistic "resting place" in infoboxes. It led to talk of all sorts of different possibilities. I don't remember if there was consensus, but the most inclusive non-euphemistic term was the terribly clunky "location of remains". Don't know if these all qualify as "gravestones", per se, especially one I'm planning to nominate tomorrow, which is more of a statue, but it's better than "grave". Changed. — Rhododendrites talk |  04:33, 17 May 2017 (UTC) Perhaps you could use "Memorial Statue" for the one tomorrow. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:07, 17 May 2017 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
