[edit] Pennsylvania entering Lingayen Gulf

Version 2

I have to say I'm somewhat supprised that this picture is not featured, its one of the most famous shots of the Second World War. It was uploaded by User:Stan Shebs, and cleaned up by Minesweeper and Neckro. Aside from it appearence on the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) page it is also used on the pages Battleship and Crossing the T.

• Support. Great picture. It does a great job in depicting the sheer power of these ships. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 14:06, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Support. A little unclear, but it's an old photo... see if we can find a clearer one still. Enochlau 05:50, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose version 1. Too blurry, and the horizontal line running through the image at one third from the top is a very distracting artefact, presumably from some postprocessing. The version linked at the image description page is slightly larger (800×600px) and much sharper. I have taken that version, removed the text and uploaded it as Image:Pennsylvania Lingayen.jpg; I would prefer and support that version. Maybe someone could even postprocess the sky (and only the sky!) to lessen the pixellation there?(Figured out how to this myself and did it.) Lupo 10:11, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support version 2 (Image:Pennsylvania Lingayen.jpg). Lupo 06:55, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Agree with Lupo. New image gets my support. Can we vote on that image instead?—Encephalon | ^ζ  14:41:49, 2005-08-31 (UTC)Support version 2.—Encephalon | ^ζ  00:17:24, 2005-09-01 (UTC)

Yes, we can vote on the other one. I cases like this the procedure is to place the new, photoshop corrected, or other version in with the original, and let people decide on the version they like best. I have placed your new picture in the article as "Version 2", if you wish to support this version please specify version 2. TomStar81 20:55, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
