• Support Wow, that's just pitiful. The expresssion on the boys face just sums it up so perfectly. Really touching. --Fir0002 09:09, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support Olegivvit 10:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Support per Janke -Rangermike 13:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Object – This image is far too small to be a featured picture. Great photo, it's a shame the resolution is so low. ♠ SG →Talk 14:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Support. Very famous image and of great historical significance. Usually, quality is not scrutinized so in images of such age and historical background. -- AJ24 15:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support edit - captures the moment, perfect - Jack (talk) 16:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support. Extremely famous image, reminiscent of the girl in Vietnam fleeing the napalm attack. This image is prominently featured in Martin Gilbert's book on the Holocaust. Powerful. Antandrus (talk) 16:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I assume you mean Image:TrangBang.jpg. That image is amazing, why is it copyrighted? Surely it was taken by the US military and is therefor PD? Seems such a loss, it would be a great addition to historical FAs - Jack (talk) 17:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
    • It was not taken by a U.S. government employee. It was taken by a press photographer, IIRC, and is copyrighted. -- Moondigger 18:49, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Nick Ut, AP. If it had been taken by an US soldier it would probably have ended in the trash can. Ericd 20:22, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support. Ericd 20:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support either. — BRIAN0918 • 2006-07-26 19:39
• Oppose edit. Leave it as it is ! What else ? darkening the blown-out highlights and what about a color version ? Ericd 20:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support the original version. TomStar81 21:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak support. I like the pic, but it is small. I will switch to Support if it can be rescanned to at least 1000px wide. --Billpg 23:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support illustrates portions of the the article well!--Pedit 21:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

User has only 7 edits, 6 of which are on FPC --Fir0002 22:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• Support either, preference for Edit 1 (if it's given a meaningful filename!). The emotion reaches out and grabs you. --jjron 09:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • filename corrected
