  • Oppose until it's cleaned up. Almost all LoC scans need an hour or so of dust removal. ~ trialsanderrors 22:43, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

      • Library of Congress. I just did my best at the dust removal, if anyone else wants to have at it, they're obviously welcome to.Calliopejen1 00:19, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
        • Comment The sky is still of oddly low quality, puzzling since the original tiff is 78MB and from 2005. Also, we would need more background on the subject. ~ trialsanderrors 00:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak support edit 1 2 Fine job with the dust, but still a bit blurry. Perhaps downsampling? —Preceding unsigned comment added by HereToHelp (talk • contribs) (Whoops, happens to the best of us. --HereToHelp 18:59, 22 April 2007 (UTC))

  • Support edit 2 - It's a nice historic image. --Arad 20:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment The photo is very good, but I'm not really sure if the guy pictured is a Gaucho or not. I'm from Chile, and there are no Gauchos here, the Gauchos are from Argentina, Uruguay and part of Brasil. I think that the guy from the photo may be a Chilean Huaso, considering the clothes and where the photograph was taken.--Hodur 01:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
    Hmmm.... judging from the wikipedia entries, it looks like you're right. I was just going by the photo caption, but perhaps the photographer was mistaken. Calliopejen1 13:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
