Oppose. Very nice picture, but cheches are worn by people from the Sahara, which generally are not caucasian. It's like a picture of a black woman dressed as a Geisha or an Australian guy wearing Eskimo clothing. Encyclopedia pictures should be as accurate as possible and show clothing in their natural most common setting. Plus only part of the cheche is visible. Janderk 08:30, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Oppose. As per reasons above and also too small (340x255). ed g2s • talk 14:04, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Support. Great pic and used all over the place. Cavebear42 17:10, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Support. There is no shortage of blue-eyed Arabs. The picture is quite large enough as it stands. And the picture is of one of Wikipedia's longest-standing and most beloved editors, whose visage deserves to grace our pages. Denni☯ 23:28, 2004 Nov 16 (UTC)
- With no disrespect to Anthere, it hardly illustrates 'eyelash' very well, nor 'eye' for that matter. Image:Closeup of an blue-green human eye.jpeg is much better for both of those pages. It's not a bad photo, but its not spectacular. ed g2s • talk 13:35, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- So we got a French tourist (no offense), who happens to be a Wikipedia editor, wearing an Saharan cheche. That looks little Arabic or African to me. Is the fact that a pictures contains a pretty Wikipedia editor, really a good argument to make it featured? Janderk 18:45, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Weak oppose. It looks pretty cool but I agree with Ed g2s - its too small. --Fir0002 05:05, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Weak support. Perhaps its just that its sat at the top of Featured Pictures Visible for a while, but I've grown to like this image. I also agree with Janderk's objection which could easily tip me over to oppose. -- Solipsist 08:40, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Oppose, for reasons JanderK put into words. — mark ✎ 10:47, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
