 * Question: Though I'm having some technical issues viewing the original, are the black dots throughout the etching (for example the one when viewed top left, full-res) from the original...and what's your opinion on editing them out? If I'm being confusing I can upload a picture highlighting what I'm seeing.  Spencer T♦C 02:08, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I have uploaded a crop of a section (upper left) highlighting what I mean. My upload is rather jpeggy, and you may want to compare my upload with the nominated image.  Spencer T♦C 02:20, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Good eye. Could we suspend the nomination for a day or so while I attack that? :)  Durova Charge! 03:15, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Suspended.  Spencer T♦C 00:34, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * A "day or so" is now over two weeks. Is this ready to get out of suspension yet? --jjron (talk) 16:37, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisting should occur soon.  Spencer T♦C 00:50, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Another 24hrs is up (8 times over). Durova suggests "If it's not ready by then I'll start from scratch another time". Time to close...? --jjron (talk) 13:59, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. Durova, I'm closing this, but feel free to relist once you're ready.  Spencer T♦C 17:09, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
