:***That's what I thought, but I was not sure whether using a gallery template is allowed for FP nomination. For close evaluation, viewers have to click and see each image in the originally uploaded size anyway. --] 20:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC) :***<small>Discussions on the format moved to the talk page since I have no reason to bear Ottava Rima's incivility.--] 01:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:****I'm not really seeing a problem here, as the formatting doesn't seem to push them over the edge, and no one so far has actually bothered to look at the pictures and review them. Can we please have some supports or objections based on the criteria? I really don't care about the formatting of the nomination and I already changed it about 8 times. If someone else thinks they can do better, then please feel free to. ] (]) 20:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:*****{{done}} on the formatting to save the space and to present a better alignment of the images. 3 rows are better than 5 rows in this case? :)--] 21:53, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:******Um, so you know, there were only 2 rows before. Perhaps your computer has formatting problems. ] (]) 22:05, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:*******Meh, I don't think so. I bought my computer just one week ago and I'm using Firefox.--] 22:08, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:********Seriously, check your settings. Images, unless you do what you did, only display as many in a section as the width of the browser. They do not go beyond unless you force them. For whatever reason, your settings removed that standard feature. ] (]) 23:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:*********Ney, I rather recommend you to check ''your system''. I've checked the layout with "two computers". What inch is your computer monitor? (By the way, I thought you'd say at least "thank you" for your time, grumble...) Or you can ask others about this.--] 23:40, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:**********With the original set up, I've changed the settings of my monitor and also shrunk the width of the computer. It formats with two wide unless the width is shrunk and then it becomes one. I have also talked to a chatroom of people and they also experienced the same thing. The problem is only on your end, and I will restore the settings above so people do not have to deal with that annoying horizontal bar. You also destroyed the order of the set, which is highly inappropriate. ] (]) 00:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:************No it doesn't. I want to know who you really talked to and I will ask about Durova's opinion on this. However, you're incredibly uncivil and does not assume good faith on my formatting with time. Your such attitude "destroys" the spirit of "cooperation".--] 00:20, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:**********As a side note - the tables were formatted with two pictures each. It would be impossible to have it 5 wide, as the tables would need to be 100% complete in formatting. Thus, for anyone who cares, Caspian Blue's claim above about formatting of 5 images in a horizontal line is technically impossible. ] (]) 00:16, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:***********I never said that 5 images in horizontal lines. 5 rows, not 5 columns, so read my comment again. The five rows make the space take too much which make viewers tend to avoid reviewing the nomination. --] 00:20, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:***********Also as a side note, you did not state who uploaded and retouched the images, and I think that is also disturbing. I added a caption above now.--] 00:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:************Wait, if you are going to complain that it goes down five rows, then I am seriously going to have to ask you to stop right now. You are being disruptive and this is completely inappropriate conduct. Furthermore, proves that I originally did state his name. Now, your accusation is highly inappropriate and I am close to asking at the process page for you to be removed. ] (]) 00:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:*************So you're saying that everyone could possibly have a gift to read your "mind" and history. The name does not appear on the page, so I pointed out it. Not to mention, you're extremely uncivil and have made personal attacks to me. What I've offended by you is you have assumed bad faith on my trial to help you out. This page is not WP:OWN by you, and the review process is evaluated by "editors" like me who have participated in reviewing FPs. You need to think about what you're accusing of.--] 00:50, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

If your Snark be a Boojum! For then
You will softly and suddenly vanish away,
And never be met with again!"

Original scan: File:Lewis Carroll - Henry Holiday - Hunting of the Snark - Plate 5 unrestored.png

Plate VI - Fit the Fifth: They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;
They persued it with forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share;
They charmed it with smiles and soap.

Original scan: File:Lewis Carroll - Henry Holiday - Hunting of the Snark - Plate 6 unrestored.png

Plate VII - Fit the Fifth The Beaver brought paper, portfolio, pens,
And ink in unfailing supplies:
While strange creepy creatures came out of their dens,
And watched them with wondering eyes.

Plate VIII - Fit the Sixth: The Barrister's Dream. Original scan: File:Lewis Carroll - Henry Holiday - Hunting of the Snark - Plate 8 unrestored.png
Plate IX - Fit the Seventh: The Banker's Fate. After being attacked by a Bandersnatch: He was black in the face, and they scarcely could trace
The least likeness to what he had been:
While so great was his fright that his waistcoat turned white--
A wonderful thing to be seen!

Original scan: File:Lewis Carroll - Henry Holiday - Hunting of the Snark - Plate 9 unrestored.png

Plate X - Fit the Tenth In the midst of the word he was trying to say
In the midst of his laughter and glee,
He had softly and suddenly vanished away--
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.

Reason
These engravings were created with Lewis Carroll's assistance and approval, which makes them have very high encyclopedic value for the poem. They are all restored images. See above for the rest. This is a featured picture set nomination.

  • The arrangement of the images is not good for viewers, l would you reduce the image sizes a bit and rearrange them for better looking? But overall those are interesting and good in shape.--Caspian blue 05:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
  • The images are currently arranged in order, as the set would also follow in the order (as intended as illustrations for the poem). What size would you suggest that they be changed to? The current size fits within my browser with extra space (2 per line). Is this different for other browsers? Ottava Rima (talk) 16:29, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
