 * Weak support Highly significant but I do wish there was a version that didn't chop everybody's heads off. CillaИ X&diams;C [dic]  20:19, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Support I agree with CillaИ X&diams that the heads being chopped off are slightly distracting but still his point that it was a highly significant moment means I fully support--  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  21:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Poorly framed, poorly executed snapshot of a highly significant occasion = oppose. --jjron 09:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose, agree with jjron. It feels like a snapshot and the image itself is neither important nor a feature-worthy illustration of an important event. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 18:58, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Poor framing. Mikeo 22:43, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
