  •  Question what's so nice about it that it should be a featured picture? Most of the picture is blurry and the scene is nothing special --D-Kuru 17:14, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, your question shows that you do not know what mirage is. The answer to your question is: The picture was featured because it is a really nice example ot the most common type of mirage (Hot-Road Mirage). The picture is not blurry at all - the picture shows a mirage and shows it well.If you like to learn more about mirages, please go to that page. I believe it is nice to learn new things. One day you'll see a mirage yourself and you will know what you looking at and thank you for asking a question instead of opposing the picture.--Mbz1 17:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
    • Note: My qustion was a friendly oppose. I also could use {{oppose}} instead if you prefer.
      1) Your arguments base on the fact that I don't know what a mirage is. Well, I think I've to disappoint you.
      2) I asked you why it should be featured and most of you text is about that I don't know what a mirage is. Note: I asked you why this picture should be a featured picture and not what the picture is showing.
      3) Blurry, well... I'm not sure if I used the right word. I had a look at the stop sign which is not in the area of the mirage and thereby it should be more clear.
      4)a. Can you show me the version which was featured, I can't find it in the category mirage.
      b. Why was it featured or rather why became it not featured?

      • I did not know that the picture should be featured in the category mirage to be nominated. Please let me know and, if it is the case, I'll take the nomination off--Mbz1 18:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
  •  Oppose - Strong refraction of light due to air heating in the surface is not uncommon. Then, rarity cannot be invoked as a mitigating reason for the poor composition and quality. - Alvesgaspar 18:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've never said it was uncommon. It is really, really common, yet some people have never noticed it. The picture is the best example at Wikipedia.--Mbz1 18:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
  •  Oppose Current image shows poor composition and quality. Being the 'best' picture on wikipedia is not enough reason for being featured (e.g. this is the best picture of Acanthochondria cornuta on the whole internet, but that doesn't make it FP or QI worthy).

  •  Oppose As above. --Digon3 19:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Why? --Karelj 20:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Messy composition and not sharp even where it should be. /Daniel78 21:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: of poor quality and composition. --MichaelMaggs 06:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.
I think that was what he wanted to reach by this --D-Kuru 15:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
