 * Articles this image appears in:Sitting Bull, Sioux, List of people from South Dakota
 * Creator:D. F. Barry

 * Weak Oppose great picture, but the caption needs some work. I would suggest using WP:CAPS as a guide. :) Z1720 06:51, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Conditional support Please improve the caption. However, the image itself is acceptable. I would also support some dust removal.--HereToHelp 14:46, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I looked at the nominated photo at 100% and saw artifacts from digital sharpening, and also saw extreme contrast. I decided to look at the original archived file and compare, and I believe the edits performed on the nominated image degrades the image quality. So I have uploaded my own edit. I have removed a few dust spots and made very, very minor adjustments to levels and sharpening. Also, I have left the original frame in because it is part of the history of the physical image (note the nom is cropped). -Andrew c [talk] 17:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support 2I really like Andrew c's change. I think that adding the frame adds something to the enc value and makes the whole image cooler.  Zakolantern 17:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, in this case, the frame does actually improve the image. Maybe not the white outer edge though, which is not part of the subject... vlad§inger tlk  03:28, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Support 2, encyclopedic and acceptable quality. Also per Z1720 a better caption is required.-- snowolf D4  (  talk  /  @   ) 00:21, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * See edited caption (which can be used on whichever version, if any, passes FP status). Spikebrennan 14:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support 2 Per above. 8thstar 23:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
