 * Support Good contrast & high quality image. -- 'Kanonkas' : Talk  11:10, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Why is the nomination titled American Widgeon [sic]? -- Coneslayer (talk) 14:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If you check the article, it is in fact an alternate spelling. If you would like me to correct it, however, I can. Nautica Shad es  15:33, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * "Widgeon" may be an alternate spelling for "Wigeon", but "American Widgeon" is not an alternate spelling for "Gadwall". -- Coneslayer (talk) 15:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course, that's correct. I must have been confused at the time of the nomination creation. Fixed. Nautica Shad es  16:11, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Old - and at this point largely irrelevant - horse I know but it's a good image and it would be nice if it was in the main body of an article not just a gallery. Guest9999 (talk) 18:58, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Has already been very highly vetted at Commons. Cirt (talk) 19:54, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Nice Photo Rj1020 (talk) 01:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Suspended - clearly headed for promotion, but needs to get in (and stay in) an article proper before promotion please. A gallery only isn't good enough. --jjron (talk) 09:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The gallery got nuked, so now it's not used in any articles. MER-C 02:21, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: I replaced the much lower quality image in the infobox with this one. Also, the previous image shows a male and female, of which an image already appears in the article.  Spencer T♦C 14:15, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Unsuspended. Nautica Shad es  16:32, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * As long as it stays there (bad memories of that cormorant nom from March/April return). BTW I don't guess anyone considered updating the caption in the article to match the new image? --jjron (talk) 13:05, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Caption updated. Nautica Shad es  17:13, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Whoops  Spencer T♦C 23:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, let's give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it will stay there. --jjron (talk) 08:21, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
