Castle Bravo "Shrimp" Device

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 1 Nov 2021 at 02:23:17 (UTC)

**Original** – The Shrimp device tested in Operation Castle Bravo

Reason: This image depicts the second thermonuclear weapon ever tested and the first "dry" thermonuclear weapon, with dry weapons being the basis of all modern nuclear weapons. It is of great historical significance and provides the viewer with an understanding of the small size of what was a very powerful device. From a scientific and engineering standpoint, the image makes clear the vacuum line of sight pipes attached to the device which where used for device diagnostics during the test, along with other hardware.
Articles in which this image appears: Castle Bravo, Operation Castle. In both cases the image is somewhat overtaken by two other highly iconic images.

Is removing the photo ID normal? Nice work however.Kylesenior (talk) 03:21, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kylesenior, what do you mean by photo ID? Do you mean the "source" information (nuclearweaponarchive.org and reddit.com)? Bammesk (talk) 04:01, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- D-92-1 is the the photograph's file number in the DTRIAC.Kylesenior (talk) 04:29, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kylesenior, yes normally we remove such IDs, example [1] [2]. When a text is an integral part of the image then we keep it, examples [3] [4]. In this case I don't have a strong preference either way. If some of you want to keep the government's photo ID, I will upload another restored version with the ID. I added it to the file's description on Commons.

Tyrone, a repeat vote isn't helpful. You need to indicate which version you are voting for: the original or the restored? Or which version you prefer? Bammesk (talk) 03:42, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer the restored version. Tyrone Madera (talk) 16:54, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I amended your later vote and struck your first vote, so should now be OK. --Janke | Talk 17:14, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Janke, I undid the changes you made [5][6] to User:Tyrone Madera comments, and restored Tyrone's comments as he had them. Revising others' comments can be controversial and confusing, per WP:TPOC, and in this case not necessary. Bammesk (talk) 01:51, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If people have a better suggestion/better wording for the caption, I would like to hear it. Both the description used here and on Commons.Kylesenior (talk) 03:23, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – this other photo/version appearing lower in the primary article is more worthy of becoming FP. It shows more of the crowd and identifies Lincoln with a red arrow (it needs a bit of restoration in the foreground though). In the nom image, without the red arrow, Lincoln is too ambiguous. Bammesk (talk) 13:55, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I agree that this one is too blur, but it has very high encyclopedia value. But, as Bemmesk pointed out, it the another image is better, then than one is more worthy of being a FP.

Comment – It doesn't meet the 1500 pixel requirement of FP criterion #2. Exceptions can be made for historical images, but Hollywood actors and actresses are well (often) photographed, so I doubt a convincing argument can be made for an exception.

The 1500px requirement is pretty firm, with occasional exceptions. I am not sure buying it and scanning it will guarantee the nom's success. There is no way to predict what the reviewers do at FP noms. And I have been around for a long time :-) Bammesk (talk) 03:29, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Full scale test of ASROC nuclear depth charge

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 14 Nov 2021 at 09:20:23 (UTC)

**Original** – Shot Dominic Swordfish spray dome and plume with USS Agerholm in foreground. This nuclear test was a full scale test of RUR-5 ASROC rocket launched depth charge, fired from the *Agerholm* in 1962.

Reason

The image is iconic.

The image depicts one of the few full-scale tests of a US nuclear weapon system (as opposed to the simple test of a device without delivery system), the other being the SLBM test, shot Dominic Frigate Bird in the same year.

The image conveys how a nuclear depth bomb might have been used in combat.

The image conveys the immense power of even a very small nuclear weapon.

Con: The image likely needs some restoration work. I am uncertain how appropriate it is to expect work needs to be performed while nominating said image.

Oppose for now - lots of dust spots. --Janke | Talk 20:37, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – In this case I disagree with removing the tone. This source shows scans of four different prints (earliest is a 1895 print, then 1911, ~1913, 1929/1932). In this case, the tone is a signature of (and inherent to) the individual print, therefore I think we should accept the scans as given by the sources and not modify the tones. For the nom image, the scan is of a ~1913 print at the Metropolitan Museum [9], [10]. I think we should keep the tone, and do minor restoration for spot removal as necessary. Bammesk (talk) 05:17, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bammesk: IMO, the colors of the image are not the original colors, due to aging. I just tried to restore the original sepia tone. I propose an alternative, from another museum, with less changes, a higher resolution and a wider crop. What do you think? Regards, Yann (talk) 10:56, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Yann:, we have 4 versions here: [11][12][13][14] with known and early print dates, so I prefer one of them, or something similar in tone and contrast. The Alt 1 is a fifth and more contrasty (very different) version at the Cleveland museum [15]. Also the Cleveland museum gives a less contrasty (better) version here: [16] which seems to be the actual scan. Bammesk (talk) 15:19, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bammesk: This is a copy of Camera Work, which is a photogravure. I think photogravure gives a soft tone. According to the museums which have a copy of the picture, there were also prints with various processes (carbon print, gelatin silver print, collotype print). Of course, each of these will give a different result, in terms of contrast and colors. Why should we prefer one rather than another? There is no perfect solution. I don't believe Stieglitz wanted his images to have a pink tint. We can only try to have one with the best quality, and more faithful to the intention of the creator. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:37, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For historic photos (especially works of art which this is now) I think we should try to keep them as they were at the time, and keep the reprocessing to necessities. The four links I gave above (plus one at Cleveland museum) tell us about the tone and contrast. I agree that the 1913 version [17] didn't originally have a deep tint as it does now, so I agree with doing some correction there. But I don't think it had a high contrast as depicted by the nom versions. Bammesk (talk) 16:32, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I like the nom more than I dislike deviating from the scans. Support either, one has finer detail, the other shows more area. Bammesk (talk) 18:20, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - do we know anything about the history of the crop in the Original? The Original has far more detail, sufficient that I would be uncomfortable promoting the Alt (look at the coat and front horse - the alt merges these into undifferentiated black); but quite a bit is cropped out. Do we know if this crop was done by the photographer or is a later edit? TSP (talk) 14:54, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This source shows 4 prints, first one is dated 1895, then lower on the page 1911, ~1913, ~1929. The first nominated image is the 1913 crop (edited). According to the primary article, Stieglitz was active in New York between 1893 and 1895. He shot this photo in 1893, so I figure the 1895 print is closest to being an original. Bammesk (talk) 01:47, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that 1895 version might be a better nom than either of our current options? It's the closest to the original photographic date, and the brighter processing reveals detail the others don't (e.g. on the horse's collar); though at the expense of some detail at the high end (e.g. on the snow piles).

Reason: Was seen on Commons FPC last month, where it was featured without opposition. Some technical flaws (particularly with the blown highlights, which are understandable) but the composition makes up for it.

Oppose - I want to support this one, as I feel nighttime photos are sometimes overlooked here, but I can't for this one. There is significant noise where the structures meet the night sky. I can't say exactly what it's from—if it was done in post-processing or not, but this fringe of noise, which doesn't extend into the deep sky is too distracting. Yes, I'm aware that this is a FP on Commons. -- Veggies (talk) 02:40, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Fair enough, can you please have a look again, Veggies? I've made some improvements, --Poc o² 22:14, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit compressed vertically, the clocks on either side are oval. The image is used in a gallery (not strong EV). For this church I think a daytime photo would be better (similar to the infobox photo but without excessive shadows). Bammesk (talk) 01:19, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, Bammesk, I didn't realize that, it's fix now. Regarding taking the shot during the day, well, yes, during the day you will have shadows, but also lots of people. The church is very visited among tourists and also to have a good perspective you need to be far from this but subject including potentially even more people in your shot. --Poc o² 20:35, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Poco, I agree with your night versus day comments. If the image is repositioned and used more prominently in the article, and then renominated, it might pass. It's a very good photo. Bammesk (talk) 15:59, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Does not add much encyclopeadic value to either article. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:41, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article File (tool) has a section about "Needle files" (where the photo is used) under the heading Types. That's the same as your recent nom Here where there is a short paragraph about Larva and your larva photo appears nearby (which by the way I supported). We can't have one set of rules for one nom and a different set of rules for another nom. Besides, this photo shows six cross sections or types (described above it in the article). That, plus its high technical quality, makes it FP worthy and the best photo in the article. Bammesk (talk) 12:29, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As an engineer I can tell you that needle files would be low on my choice list to illustrate an article on tools or hand tools. The key feature of a typical hand tool is a grip suited to the human hand. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:54, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The primary article is File (tool), not tools or hand tools as you say. As far as hand tools go, files are a quintessential hand tool. In particular, needle files are used with and without a handle attachment. You should know that since you are an engineer! Bammesk (talk) 17:15, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
