Reason

Good addition to the Beaufort Gyre article, in the Dynamical mechanisms section. It shows the weekly change in the Arctic sea ice coverage. Younger ice accumulation (first-year ice) is shown in darker shades, while older ice (four-year or older) is shown in white.

This is the only known photograph of the Giado concentration camp. Its quality has some issues (it looks like it's been digitally softened), but... this is the only surviving image of a concentration camp, whose structure has since been destroyed.

• Comment – Unfortunetely this is too small. The Featured picture criteria says "images should be a minimum of 1500 pixels in width and height". In this case, however, an exception may be granted for historical reasons. —Bruce1ee^talk 12:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I think an exception is called for here. It's the deadliest North African WWII concentration camp, and this is the only photo of it. No trace remains of the camp nor of the nearby medieval cemetery where the prisoners buried their dead—so not even a photo of ruins can be taken to replace or supplement it. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 13:20, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak oppose - I'd be okay with giving this one a pass on resolution, since it's historical and exceeds 1500px on the long axis, but it's both low-contrast and kind of blurry up close. If there were a better copy of this image, I'd support it. Moonreach (talk) 14:21, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good EV for the pandemic (even if it has to compete with a lot of other good-EV pictures on both pages it's on). Aesthetically interesting, contextually illustrative (of the concept of social distancing), and historically important. I'm nominating it under "Other" for a category because it doesn't fit neatly into any of the others. "People" comes closest, since this is a human thing, but there aren't that many people in the focus area of the image, so I'm stumped. Moonreach (talk) 14:18, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – Interesting concept but poor execution. I really doubt the EV because this is a very wide aerial shot that very poorly depicts the social distancing. From this angle, it is nothing more than a courtyard with equally distant rectangles. The shadow on the lower half and the structures on the sides are distracting too. Regretful oppose but good concept. Any other angle resolving those points I raised have my support. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 16:39, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  There are two other pictures from the same set. I'd be happy to support either if other people think they have merit, but I don't think the composition of either one is quite as impactful. Moonreach (talk) 16:56, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Nope. Sadly, they are worse. As Sca said, the EV is almost nil for any of them and doesn't give any information to the general reader. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 17:04, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The logic we usually use is that people advocating for change in laws, such as suffragettes, get filed under political. This is a little more subtle, as she's arguably advocating for societal change, but the movement culminated in Prohibition. She was also a religious leader of sorts. Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political? I'll let Armbrust decide.
