 * Comment this is a picture that could do with a bit of restoration work. GerardM (talk) 23:36, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Might ask for a colour scan, but it seems to have all the detail. We can upgrade later, if it becomes an option. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 184 FCs served 14:42, 31 July 2009 (UTC) Weak oppose: Durova's right, though I'll happily work with Sasata in order to provide a restored version.

 * Thank you Shoemaker. Should we suspend this nom?  Plenty of ev here; would be great to see it promoted.  Durova  288 19:15, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've poked Sasata about it. She can choose whether to suspend or just renominate shortly. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 184 FCs served 00:15, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Hate to spoil the party, but this scan has bleedthrough text at bottom, needs clockwise rotation, and suffers from serious brightness variances (particularly visible at the borders).  Durova  288 21:58, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Durova. Makeemlighter (talk) 07:24, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
