 * Support as nominator -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:31, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment If the black border doesn't belong to the image, it should be definitely cropped. All in all good poster, reminding Joan of Arc. Brandmeistertalk  23:27, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * There's a cropped variant, but the sides aren't all that straight, so I had to do some extra tweaking to make it work. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:47, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Support (see below) Fascinating iconography and therefore strong EV (certainly the to first two articles). Border issues can be overlooked, although, Adam, I think you would be forgiven in distorting the image very slightly to make it rectangular.

 * Uploaded the version finally. Sorry, I've been feeling a bit unmotivated this week. How unmotivated? I just had to upload it to put it up here. The work was already done. It's just been a very difficult week. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:29, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Support both, prefer alt Out of interest, Adam, why provide use with both PNG and JPG versions? I'd be happy enough supporting either. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 14:34, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * PNGs are lossless, and therefore can be reedited and used for printing at better quality. Unfortunately, Wikipedia has a bug that the coders have decided not to fixed: Sharpening is applied to JPEGs when thumbnailed, but not PNGs. It makes for a very noticeable loss in quality for PNG thumbnails. I tried arguing with the coders, but they seem to think this situation is fine, and consider having their horrible, horrible lack of basic competence when it comes to image files (this is not the only bug unfixed for half a decade; they do not prioritise images at all), I don't think we can expect a fix any time soon. The only reason we have even the minimal TIFF support we have is because German Wikipedia paid someone else to do it, and, to my knowledge, that is the only image-related fix or improvement we have had since. Mind, they've managed to break a few things: Large TIFFs used to degrade gracefully when over the max size. Now they just don't show at all. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:48, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
