Although not the highest quality of picture I think the historical significance makes this image Featured Images worthy.

  • Nominate and support. - Trashking 01:10, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - relatively small, heavy moire due to low-res image pre-scan? Debivort 01:27, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose, fails resolution requirement, we should be able to get a better version of such a major image. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 03:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose, on the grounds that a better scan may not be available. But if there are larger, better images out there, i.e., better nominees, then I oppose. --Tewy 04:34, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose. This picture deserves a better scan. NauticaShades(talk) 07:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose As this one is just under 1000 px, it shouldn't be impossible to get a larger/better version. BTW, didn't we have a couple of other versions nominated some time ago? --Janke | Talk 08:02, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
    • I agree with you, but after perusing Google I have found nothing bigger than this one (except a reproduction). NauticaShades(talk) 17:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • CommentSupport as per SOADLuver. These are the same objection I got when I nominated the painting, and as you said this is as big as it gets. Its really to bad, this definatly deserves to be featured. TomStar81 (Talk) 20:44, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Support One of the most signifcant images in American history in my opinion.It's as big as it gets.Get use to it.SOADLuver 20:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
    • What are you talking about? The original is 149inches by 255 inches. It is *not* as big as it gets. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 01:31, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
No it is the biggest available.If you can get a bigger scan than do so.SOADLuver 02:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
"biggest on the internet" != biggest available. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 05:40, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Buy the poster and scan that.[1] This pics quality is too low, I can wait. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 15:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
How about his one?[2] Trashking 19:42, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
It's bigger, but I hate to say there are blown highlights... on a painting. NauticaShades(talk) 06:16, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Appears to be a heavily photoshocked image... --Janke | Talk 06:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose - I have to vote against this, but the resolution requirement is preventing me for supporting this. --ZeWrestler Talk 15:07, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
