- Picture of an upright piano built in New York City by the world-famous piano manufacturer Steinway & Sons. This is a fantastic picture, must have required a great deal of work, is aesthetically pleasing, and is technically excellent.
- The picture is legally uploaded, see Template:OTRS ticket and User:Fæ's comment below. --Hereiamfriends (talk) 18:26, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

The license is not consistent with the terms and conditions of the source: "You may not sell or modify the materials or reproduce, display, publicly perform, distribute, or otherwise use the materials in any way for any public or commercial purpose.". --99of9 (talk) 12:20, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- I'm also concerned that the uploader is indef-blocked. --99of9 (talk) 12:28, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

- Great to here that the picture is legally uploaded. Thank you, User:Fæ, for the reply. --Hereiamfriends (talk) 18:17, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

- Oppose Nominator is another of many Steinway-promoting sockpuppets. Uploader is a globally blocked Steinway promoter and incorrigible puppetmaster. The case page at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Fanoftheworld gives a hint of the extent of the damage, including the pushing of Steinway images to replace ones by other piano companies, using multiple language Wikipedias to accomplish the task. This particular image was initially uploaded by Fanoftheworld, the first recognized puppetmaster, and was nominated by a sock: Hereiamfriends. I should hate to see harmful sockpuppetry rewarded by achieving a Featured Picture. --Binksternet (talk) 01:28, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
