::As for the accusations brought forth here, I don't find them concerning. I will give my reasons why after I sort out the blurp of the replaced photograph. [[User:EtienneDolet|Étienne Dolet]] ([[User talk:EtienneDolet|talk]]) 08:22, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
::*Once we've got a consensus for it, I can change the image. There's not all that big of a rush (we've got almost two weeks). — [[User:Crisco 1492|Crisco 1492]] ([[User talk:Crisco 1492|talk]]) 13:36, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
:::* Has the Nazi Holocuast has never made it to POTD? A quick search suggests not. [[:File:Rows of bodies of dead inmates fill the yard of Lager Nordhausen, a Gestapo concentration camp.jpg |This image of dead bodies in a concentration camp]] was passed over because it was too graphic, and in connection with the map image discussed above I notice that this recently nominated image [[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Map of the Holocaust in Europe | Map of the Holocaust in Europe]] did not achieve Featured Picture status. Why not, one can reasonably enquire as it's an exceptionally fine graphic with obvious educational value.
:::: As for the image now suggested for the Armenian genocide, that was originally passed over when first nominated for Featured Picture status. What really changed? The process seems somewhat arbitrary to me, the forum perhaps too small and isolated.
::::I would prefer to see an image that remembers the victims, rather than one that graphically depicts their suffering. There is a memorial to the Armenian genocide at [[Tsitsernakaberd]]. There are plenty of good images of this memorial and no copyright issues because Freedom of Panorama is recognised in Armenia. Or perhaps one of Wikipedia's featured photographers could provide a really outstanding image, which would be more in keeping with the Wikipedia ethos I feel.
