 * Comment It's a good photo and certainly has potential, but it could do with some cleaning up to remove the dust and fingerprints from the background and the scratches from the left-hand side. Time3000 (talk) 10:18, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Honestly I did not notice fingerprints while restoring. This low-res version has superior quality, maybe someone could assist? Brand[t] 12:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I've done a very quick dust removal on it - I won't vote on it since it's my own work. It could possibly do with a slight crop to get rid of the borders, but I haven't got time to get it perfect at the moment.  Time3000 (talk) 19:54, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment Interesting, but the article makes no mention. How and of what material are they made? What are they used for? The article or the caption needs work imo. Noodle snacks (talk) 22:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like they are woven. I have expanded the cap. Brand[t] 12:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks good and referenced. Another problem though (sorry to nitpick) exactly what has been done during the restoration doesn't seem to be noted on the image page. Noodle snacks (talk) 23:56, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment Does this old b&w photo have some advantage over a modern photo of present-day baskets or a modern photo of old baskets? I imagine that many museums have old Apache baskets in their collections. Calliopejen1 (talk) 01:27, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Color would of course be ideal, and far superior over a B&W version. Do we have a color version? — raeky ( talk 12:15, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * If we have a modern photo, this could be replaced, but the set seems to be unique. Brand[t] 18:33, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
