Support Historic image, excellent EV, used to illustrate a number of articles. Elucidate ^{(light up)} 10:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Dramatic image --Fir0002 10:45, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
question needs a level adjust? de Bivort 19:24, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, this just isn't a good scan and unless we know the original doesn't exist to be rescanned I don't think it should be promoted. gren グレン 20:22, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per gren. Though moving, the quality isn't good. Also, it's too small. Spencer^T♦^C 21:51, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant oppose on technicals. 160kb just isn't enough data, which is a very sad thing to say because the EV is so high. Perhaps a good candidate for valued pictures? Durova^Charge! 02:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I did nominate this picture mainly for its emotional value. If anyone can clean this up/find a better version somewhere, that'd be excellent. Pstanton 21:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'll throw this out there. The site has info@altearmee.de as its e-mail address. If anyone speaks German they might want to send by an e-mail and see if the image was taken from a museum. If so we might be able to get a better scan that way. gren グレン 20:47, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Small and poor quality. But great EV. A definite candidate for Valued Pictures. If someone can find a higher quality version of this, it's an obvious support. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:08, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
