 * Support as nominator -- Durova Charge! 22:26, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Support of course. Just a question: per the caption, was it made on 1791-12-06, or in 1206 AD? :) Intothewoods29 (talk) 23:25, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Support I think it was created in 1206 and published in 1791 according to this . The edges are a little beat up. --Uncle Bungle (talk) 00:48, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment 99% sure they mean 1206 AH/1791 AD. Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:58, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, different calendars. Durova Charge! 01:01, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Please update the caption accordingly :-) --Uncle Bungle (talk) 01:42, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. :) Durova Charge! 04:03, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh duh. Thanks. Intothewoods29 (talk) 05:18, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Support for EV and something different from the usual. Muhammad (talk) 08:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose - big and with great EV, but JPG artifacting spoils it for me. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 11:00, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Support A little artifact-y, but still good. Since this is a non-Christian document, should we use CE instead of AD? (MOS has no preference.)--HereToHelp (talk to me) 11:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * How about put CE in brackets? Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  13:24, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That would work if we wanted to be clear. My point is that I don't want to reference Jesus regarding a a non-Christian image. It just seems more neutral.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 22:04, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Neutral Artifacting and the missing lower right corner don't allow me to support.  Spencer T♦C 23:02, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support. The image is large enough that it can be downscaled enough to make artifacts disappear and still be plenty big.--ragesoss (talk) 02:06, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. EV, sufficient quality at reasonable resolutions. And it's interesting of course too! Mostlyharmless (talk) 06:02, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
