Reason

What? -- mcshadypl TC 23:48, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's a joke referring to when he played Moses in the The Ten Commandments. Support as above. Cowtowner (talk) 14:42, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support This certainly could have benefited from some more effort into restoring it. Regardless, it's a great-quality photo of a very notable person. -- mcshadypl TC 23:50, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. There's a lot of grain there, but not so much that the image isn't compelling. Incidentally, if this passes it will be the third picture from the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom to be featured. The Civil Rights Movement appears well photographed.

  • Support - agreed that it's grainy, but not in a way that detracts from the image. A classic, and a great reproduction. Tim Pierce (talk) 01:36, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
