Comment - Great image, but not used in any English Wikipedia articles. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:48, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Answer: thanks for your comment. I could post the photo at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus_tommasinianus or at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus. With mention: Crocus tommasinianus.--Famberhorst (talk) 06:34, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Right. The image should be in at least C. tommasinianus before nomination. The English Wikipedia requires that images be used on the English Wikipedia before they can be given featured picture status. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:55, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. English Wikipedia added. Thanks for your reviews.--Famberhorst (talk) 17:56, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Wondering a bit about saturation. Sca (talk) 15:06, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Based on the Commons category, the depth of the flowers' color seems to vary somewhat between specimens and lighting. The photographer would be best to ask about how they looked in person, but from browsing the category the saturation appears reasonable. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:37, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Answer The color is okay. It was clear and sunny weather. The flowers are illuminated by the sun.--Famberhorst (talk) 18:23, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Unfortunately, the image has now been removed by other editors from both the articles it was added to; so I think this nomination needs to be at least paused. I think it's a good and valuable image, but perhaps the nominator needs to look a bit further into how images are used on Wikipedia - in particular, I think adding it to articles with the caption "Beautiful flowers of Crocus tommasinianus" has inclined other editors to remove it, as image captions on Wikipedia should to be neutral and descriptive and avoid puffery. Reading through WP:IUP and WP:CAPTION may be helpful in suggesting how to add images to articles in a way that makes clear their encyclopedic value. TSP (talk) 20:04, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
