Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Panthera leo – male lions
Used in	Global usage
Review (criteria)	Comment Not sure if your image is the most valuable in the scope category but in keeping with COM:VIS Domain-specific scope guidelines for animals, your scope must be in the format of scientific name in italics (English-language vernacular name) --GRDN711 (talk) 21:33, 10 August 2023 (UTC). @GRDN711: That's where you're wrong, it also says : If male and female of the same species can be distinguished from each other from a picture, then a "male" scope and a "female" scope can be proposed for the same species. @20 upper: "Male" versus "female" is not the issue here. As further described by Archaeodontosaurus, the scope name for the lion species must be formatted in a specific manner with "male" or "female" after the species name as allowable sub-scopes. Look to other animal VI nominations as examples. --GRDN711 (talk) 18:08, 13 August 2023 (UTC)  Comment There are several issues. Must connect the scope to the category or gallery that contains the image. The scope is not properly formatted : the binomial name should be in italics followed by the english common name in parenthesis. For this scope the animal must be seen standing up and not lying down. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 04:44, 11 August 2023 (UTC) Result: 0 support, 0 oppose => undecided.
