 * Support as nominator – Godot13 (talk) 03:00, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support set - Although I wish we could have saved the texture of the paper outside of the coats of arms, I understand that the situation has not permitted it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:45, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * AGF support as I can't review all of these individually. Samsara (FA • FP) 15:24, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support -  SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  08:24, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Needs slightly more work. Look at File:New Mexico territory coat of arms (illustrated, 1876).jpg, for example - there's a lot of white threads that appear to be paper fibres that got stuck to the ink. I think we could get these slightly better. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:23, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Adam- I see what you're referring to. Just to clarify, does "we" mean me, or you? Because we discussed the prospect of you helping on some of the images, but when all the TIF files were loaded and I left a note on your talk page I never heard back. Your restoration skill for the issue you describe with the New Mexico file is stronger than mine, so your help would be appreciated.--Godot13 (talk) 13:41, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll do my best. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:24, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, if you have any reservation about completing in time, please let me know and I will put the nomination on hold for a day or two.--Godot13 (talk) 05:08, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * In all honesty, it probably wouldn't hurt, at least until I can get a few [?] done, and know the exact scope and time sink. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:51, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Please let me know which ones you've identified and which you want to work on, and I will do the rest. I understand the desire to have everything in the best shape it can be, but I really would like to wrap this nomination up as you know there is limited time before the cup is over and your comment (without a 5th support) effectively puts the nomination in limbo.--Godot13 (talk) 18:50, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Not having heard back, and in a desire to both let this nomination run its course and not unduly burden you, I've started some of the fiber cleaning on several files. I uploaded a new version of New Mexico and will upload more later.--Godot13 (talk) 07:35, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment - The following files have been tweaked per above: Title page, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming (45). Changes are very slight. More to follow.--Godot13 (talk) 18:33, 25 September 2014 (UTC) --Godot13 (talk) 15:57, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Please suspend this. This could take a bit. Have you updated the TIFFs as well, because I'm half-way through Arkansas, and there's a TON of stuff on the right wing (as seen looking at it). Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:19, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Adam Cuerden-You do not read/respond to the messages left here. I have already done about 60% of them. I will finish them. No, I have not yet updated the TIFs, only the JPEGs.--Godot13 (talk) 16:46, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It would be nice if you had said the TIFFs weren't updated before I downloaded them to check whether anything needed done and put a few hours in, presuming you had missed things. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:15, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the miscommunication. I thought I was being clear here. I will make it up to you... You said something about playing cards a few days back, I may be able to help with that in a few weeks. --Godot13 (talk) 20:01, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It happens. Just had put today aside for this, then half-way through, saw you said you had done the one I was in the middle of, and finding a fair bit to fix on. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:25, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Adam TIFs are updated to most current version (list of completed files above). We will have better coordination in the future. If not for Cup, I would have no issue slowing it all down. Win or loose, I won't be competing again. But I do want to make every effort possible. When the rest of the files are completed (8-10 hours, perhaps optimistically) will I need to work on getting additional reviewers to view the images and/or leave comments?--Godot13 (talk) 21:02, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * If I haven't updated before this closes, you may assume my Support. As for the other reviews, what generally is done is to leave a message on all current reviewers' talk pages, telling them the nomination is updated. Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:23, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I had planned to send a note to each reviewer as soon as the revisions were complete.--Godot13 (talk) 00:38, 27 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Just noting that I still support this nomination; unfortunately we have a very slow, restricted (and meagre!) data allowance so I can't download all of them but the further work done that I've checked has enhanced these even more. With my sincere apologies to Armburst who will no doubt have to sort my indenting/formatting yet again ;-)  SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  07:43, 27 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Support. Godot is working on it, and will finish it soon, AGF. And I always liked Louis Prang. Hafspajen (talk) 09:22, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you Hafs... and it is finished...--Godot13 (talk) 15:57, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * One rogue file tried to hide on my other computer... All 46 files updated.--Godot13 (talk) 22:54, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
