 * Question Undecided as yet - I like the picture but not keen on the state lines drawn on - I would prefer the picture without personally - at what stages were they added? gaz hiley .co.uk  12:52, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I could not tell you, but personally find them helpful.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:41, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure they photo them like that, those are state borders. Here's one of the northeast US, here's one of Scandanavia.. -- I'ḏ ♥  One  16:21, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The storm was rather widespread, is there no image that shows both the Great Lakes area and the Eastern seaboard together? That would be much more valuable in my eyes. Cowtowner (talk) 18:32, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * As a follow up, it's important to note that not all of the Great Lakes are shown. Cowtowner (talk) 23:49, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Very, very eye-catching and unusual. Without the state lines drawn in, one would need to carefully read an explanation in the caption about how the Great Lakes are visible roughly in the middle in order to understand the sense of scale. I think just looking at the image should provide all the information one needs regarding the scale of an image (big in this case). Greg L (talk) 22:16, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Very interesting photo. I think that the state border lines should be kept. -- mcshadypl T C  05:12, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Support I think it's decent as-is, but if the state lines are to be kept in I think it would be better if they were more prominent. Right now it looks like they're sort of there, sort of not.Hypershadow647 (talk) 22:24, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose This image is snap-shotty by NASA (the state lines are nice, though).Gut Monk (talk) 22:37, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Not "enough", too narrow a view for appropriate context. Stitch(?) error at bottom about 1/3 from left.   Mae din\ talk 09:14, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak, regretful oppose There's an error in this, a diagonal line right through Illinois, Wisconsin, the upper peninsula of Michigan and Lake Superior (three cheers for geography!). -- I'ḏ ♥  One  19:11, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
