 * Support as nominator -- Brand meister t   14:22, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:18, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: I find myself preferring the caption cropped off, and the spare letter in the left cloned out. I'm not sure what anyone else thinks about that. Comments?  Spencer T♦ C 03:06, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I feel it could do with a clean up. Also, the sword just to the left of the poster on the wall has something funky going on (bad cloning???). Definitely against the upper left letter, I wouldn't be upset if we lost the caption, and the image could be cropped a bit more tidily. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 08:54, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Made the relevant edit. It looks like jigsaw blade to me on the sword near the poster (I didn't touch it while removing scratch-like stuff). Brand meister  t   10:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's on the back of the blade in the middle...I'd hedge my bets that its some kind of error, not a jagged blade, but I'm still not 100% sure.  Spencer T♦ C 19:02, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like a water stain to me. Chick Bowen 03:51, 11 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Lot's of value and the quality is OK.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:14, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak support either. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 17:11, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I'm not feeling it, I'm not really seeing what the image is adding. The fact it is old does not mean that it is valuable. J Milburn (talk) 01:31, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
