Dan'l Druce, Blacksmith



 * Reason:An important, if now rarely performed, play by a major playwright, W. S. Gilbert, which has been heavily commented on for its notable place in his literary development. Was reminded of it by some mild vandalism to its old nomination, Featured picture candidates/Dan'l Druce, Blacksmith, which fell just short of quorum.
 * Articles this image appears in:Silas Marner, Hermann Vezin, Dan'l Druce, Blacksmith
 * Creator:Francis Sylvestre Walker (1848-1916) - Engraved by the Dalziel Brothers.

 * Support per nom. Would it be possible to trim the caption, though?  Durova  331 16:59, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support though agree w/ Durova. A trimmed caption that maybe just says the actor, the play, and generally what's happening in this scene would be good. Staxringold talkcontribs 18:05, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I trimmed out the plot summary, though it'd probably have been useful to Howcheng. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 213 FCs served 21:13, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You call that trimmed, it's three times longer than normal. Only my signature can get away with that.  Nezzadar   ☎   21:35, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Have a look at the old nomination for the caption I copied over originally. It was three times longer than what's up now. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 213 FCs served 08:14, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Works for me. Good find.  Nezzadar   ☎   21:35, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support, though I'm still seeing a couple of flecks on his shirt (both the breast and the sleeves) which I'm not certain should be there. J Milburn (talk) 22:31, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I touched it up by removing the obvious flecks. Hint that they aren't original? They're blue. Check out the new version.  Nezzadar   ☎   00:24, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Note Okay, so I know that the file name is messed up, but when I loaded the touched up version to commons, it spit out the original dirty version. Someone want to help?  Nezzadar   ☎   00:29, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Most likely you uploaded the unedited version under a different name. Try reuploading the edit over the top of the duplicate (not the original). --jjron (talk) 07:43, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I did, it failed, maybe I just am missing something. The lower version is on WP not commons, under a slightly different name, but it is fixed, and if it gets J Milburn's go we can see about putting it where it belongs.  Nezzadar   ☎   15:51, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
