The other is not a full moon, and if you flip from one picture to the other, the current FP is of much worse quality and should really be delisted. This is the picture that is used more prominently on the wiki. Also your example that is a full moon, is not a wikipedia FP, its a commons FP. Chris H 04:33, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Where's that been hiding? It's easily the best of the three and should replace the moon FP we have, IMO. Well spotted! mikaultalk 14:12, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted - This one seems to have escaped everyone's notice. I'll stick it back up the top for some more comments. Raven4x4x 05:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support version 2, as it's the nearest to a full moon that we have. I also support delisting of the current FP on the same basis. Techincally all three(? – four?) here are quite close (current FP is the worst, even if it is bigger) but the Luc Viatour one has the technical edge, especially in terms of exposure. mikaultalk 09:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Just looked at a 50% downsample of the current FP (Lune_nb, version 3) and it's better than I imagined, but still overexposed. I'm getting confused.. the current FP is up for delisting down the page. The current nom is clearly better quality than the current FP, but not as worthy a candidate as Version2 here. Ok, now I'm going for a little lie down :o/ mikaultalk 10:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
