- Reason
- Very valuable image as it shows one of the first X-Rays ever taken. Value is increased by the fact that Anna is wearing her wedding ring, which shows the effects of X-Rays, along with her bones
- Articles this image appears in
- X-Ray, Wilhelm Röntgen

- Oppose Truly bad, especially since we have good FPs of early Xrays. Nezzadar [SPEAK] 19:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose This one is far better and just as early. Staxringold 00:53, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
- I know, but I chose this one because it came before the one you mention. upstateNYer 21:50, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

- Reason
- Missed FP by a narrow margin (2 support + 4 weak support vs. 2 weak oppose). It was generally recognised to be of value.
- Articles this image appears in
- Pledge of Allegiance, Japanese American internment, Dorothea Lange.

- Support as co-nominator --Nezzadar [SPEAK] 17:48, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- I added myself as a co-nominator as I was the one who nominated this for FP status just over a week ago. If you mind, go ahead and remove this. Nezzadar [SPEAK] 17:48, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- Don't mind at all. Just hope no coco-nominator will pop-up :). Elekhh (talk) 22:09, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'll be the cococo-nominator :-) ZooFari 04:03, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

- Reason
- High EV, it makes the viewer want to know more. Good composition, background, colours, natural habitat. Missed FP by margin of 4:2. However there was agreement that it makes Wikipedia more attractive.

- Support upstateNYer 21:10, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- Support Good photos of lesser-known animals (especially monkeys and felines) should be encouraged. Seduisant (talk) 23:53, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

- Oppose Simply put, I don't think this picture is worthy of any promotion. It really is a disturbing angle, it makes the poor animal look like a mutant... Nezzadar [SPEAK] 17:24, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- Support Good EV. Composition not fit for FP but good enough for VP --Muhammad(talk)
