Reason: It's quite large, informative and interesting, this is the best map of Prussia I have ever seen. It was made in 1576

Question: I'm seeing stray, multicoloured pixels throughout the map. Is that how the map is? Spencer^T♦^C 01:39, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It looks like it was saved with an inadequate color palate. Either that, or someone did a poor job cleaning up the image. Kaldari (talk) 15:58, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - It appears the restoration of this image was not entirely successful, per Spencer's comment above. Kaldari (talk) 16:02, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the multi coloured pixels. Where are they? The image looks suitable, and stunning. サラは、私を、私の青覚えている。 _Talk ^Contribs 17:10, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The pixels are all over the image. When viewed full, look in any white space and you can see single yellow, green, blue, etc. pixels randomly there. Spencer^T♦^C 01:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This is over-restored, in my view. The colors are brighter than I suspect was the cartographer's intent, particularly the green that indicates standing forest, which is so bright in the restoration as to nearly match the green that indicates the borders of Samogitia.

Oppose - A reason for the oppose, providing adequate feedback for the nominator. --Dschwen 22:27, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The original is way better (although it also needs some work) in terms of photo retouching technique. The restoration is very poor to erase middle tones. --Caspian blue 23:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but I prefer the original. The restored version just seems too fake. Elucidate ^{(parlez à moi)} _{Ici pour humor} 10:06, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Elucidate... we should use the original unless we get a better restored version which doesn't remove parts of the map's depth. gren グレン 19:31, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
