Confederate Dead at Devil's Den Gettysburg

 * Reason:This is a historic picture that is depicting a small portion of the bloodiest battle in the American Civil War. It meets the size requirement by more than triple. Furthermore, the image is the object of some doubt because of the fact that some scholars believe it to be staged. The image shows great details of the fallen solider and the location he died. I initially put the picture up for peer review here and per the feedback, I performed some restoration edits to the photo. (As a note, the restored image shown here has not been placed into the articles yet. The original version is still there)

 * Support as nominator -- ZeWrestler  Talk 03:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Neutral Really bad at close range, but that's old photos for you. Won't support or oppose, although it might be possible for someone to work their magic on this and make it better. Ask Durova.  Nezzadar   ☎   05:14, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong neutral?! Lol. That's like multiplying zero by a million. It's still zero. ;-) &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  11:31, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Umm, excuse me, but it's perfectly fine for me to have a strong neutral position.  Nezzadar   ☎   13:43, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It is perfectly fine, but it doesn't really mean anything. 'Strong' or 'Weak' prefixes to votes are there to lend strength to a voting conviction, but if you are neutral, you don't actually have a conviction as it relates to whether you think the nomination should succeed or fail. Therefore, if you make it strong or weak, you're not actually adding anything to your vote, because you haven't, in fact, voted! In fact, you could replace the word 'Neutral' with 'Comment', because that's essentially what you're doing - just commenting, not voting. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  11:20, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I left Durova a message about the image.-- ZeWrestler  Talk 00:11, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Serious damage to the original. It's as if the upper third of the image were torn away.  Can't help you, sorry.  Durova  333 04:26, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
