Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches, gesundes Neues Jahr 2026! -- Radomianin (talk) 10:44, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Something went wrong

Hi Robert. Last night I tried to reopen the discussion in QI Consensual review section that was closed prematurely, but apparently, I did it wrong somehow, and the QIbot removed the discussed photo from the page. Maybe you can put it all back? See archive page. Sincerely, Екатерина Борисова (talk) 15:22, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

@Екатерина Борисова: I suppose that you just replaced the "QICresult" template by the "QICtotal" template, which is completely irrelevant for the bot. You failed to replace the "/Decline" by "/Discuss". Therefore, the bot removed the image. Even though it is technically possible to remove the image from the archive and put it back on the candidate list, i do not recommend this. There are two opposing votes and the image might be declined again. There would be a better chance for promotion if Benjism89 improves the image (possibly with help from others) as suggested by Plozessor. After that, the image could be nominated again. All the best --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 17:56, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation. Yes, I really didn't change "/Decline" to "/Discuss", because I just didn't realize that I needed to do this too. I had no intention of promoting this photo, I just wanted to correct the mistake made by Sebring12Hrs. Now I will know exactly how to do this in the future. I hope that Benjism89 sees this correspondence and does what you recommend. Thank you again and Merry Christmas. Екатерина Борисова (talk) 18:53, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

To me it was not a mistake (the last vote was 48 hours ago, and Benjism89's comment wasn't a vote), but I don’t mind. I hope @Benjism89: will improve this photo and nominate it again. Sebring12Hrs (talk) 19:28, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

No, according to the rules you can close the nomination after a minimum period of 48 hours since the last entry. In other words, an entry can be any comment, and it doesn't have to be a vote. I remember that this has already been pointed out to you, but you are always in too much of a hurry and sometimes even interrupt very useful discussions because of this. Please be a little more careful. Екатерина Борисова (talk) 23:56, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

@Sebring12Hrs: I know that you insist vigorously on your rather unique opinion that a discussion can be closed 48 hours after the last vote. However, there have been several complaints about you closing CR discussions prematurely and there has never been anyone who shared your opinion, at least not as far as I remember. I had not mentioned this because I see no reason for lengthy disputes or even edit warring in this case. I strongly suggest once more that you stop closing CR discussions less than 48 hours after the last entry (not after the last vote!) --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 13:35, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Ok........... Sebring12Hrs (talk) 14:00, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for mentioning me in this conversation. I won't take this picture back to CR without improvement, it looks like I'm overconfident on the result of my processing of high ISO pictures :-(

But if someone (maybe @Plozessor who suggested it) wishes to try to do something better out of this picture, I'd be really interested, to try to understand whether it's my software, the way I use my software or the quality of the original RAW that lead to bad results. Here is the RAW : https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZ71SNZyAEebuMU3nmIv8Gb349wDheoUMKk

Thanks and merry Christmas to all of you, Benji 09:06, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
