  •  Oppose. I was unsure about what the actual target of this picture was: the somehow tilted hill, a overview of the city or something else. Somehow nothing really stands out. I could not see anything to support it. It looked like a rather mediocre picture of a city where the photographer was not sure what to actually fotograph (=> no special composition). Then I noticed that with this pictures it is quite often used on discussion pages on es.WP. Babel-pic? No. Votestacking and Campaigning ([1]). And not only for this but two other mediocre pictures currently up for discussion which explains why they have a rather unusually high amount of FPXvotes and share the same 5 users. If you would have put up your message on a few boards and portals, this would have been more ok, but by picking a few es.Users this is partisan-canvassing. And that you actually explained to them how to support (but not how to oppose) makes it even worse. This is non-neutral advertisement. So I decided not to refrain from voting as originally intended. -- Cecil (talk) 22:11, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  InfoThe campaign for this and other images is completely allowed, also here in my beautiful country, Ecuador, when someone proposes something that benefits the country to join us and support the initiative. Also elsewhere you will see such a place as Histrórico Center of Quito, the largest and best preserved in Latin America by the UNESCO. Finallye madiocre is an insult in Ecuador, so I think you have disrespected the author of the picture.David C. S.
    •  Comment David, mediocre is not an insult. It doesn´t matter which country you are from. Others user cannot know everything about every culture in the world. That's why we have to use english as a universal language. But anyways, look up for the word mediocre in a dictionary (even in spanish), and you'll find out it does apply perfectly to a picture that does not stand out for a user's opinion. You should not take it personally. This is a page where you put your pictures out to the public eye and get opinions. If you do not like negative opinions, this is not the place for you. You surely are already getting annoyed by this comment, I know. But remember we have to be as neutral as we can. I do think that voting campaigning is really unethic and wrong. Why should you get your selected pictures to be featured and not another guy that may have spent 3 days to take a perfect shot of a spot, only because you told some users to vote you positively? You may say it is totally allowed, but take a while to ask yourself if you truly think you are doing the right thing. I think you maybe acting out of proud and patriotism. (I think... maybe I'm wrong). This is a big and a really serious community, we have to be the best persons we can, and be "muy responsables". Buena suerte hermano. -- Paolostefano1412 (talk) 16:12, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Cecil. No actual composition, and by the way totally unleveled. abf «Cabale!» 22:23, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
