  • You can see what look like rough versions (in pencil maybe) underneath the fancy lettering. It looks like the first draft wasn't as pretty. Debivort 20:25, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong support. Historic, encyclopedic and good quality.--Svetovid 15:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. Excellent, very historic. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-06-28 18:38Z
  • Support, I like it. 8thstar 18:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose - wonderful encyclopaedic value, but awful technical quality. Full of JPG artifacts, and it would be nice if it was a little higher res vertically. E9T4A8. I've also expanded the div containing the image above, but I've used a relative measure (percent not pixels, vector not absolute) to specify its width so it scales for those running at higher and lower resolutions. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 18:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong support. The paper wasn't straight when it was originally photographed, so I'd say it's accurately preserved here. Stitching is very well done if you look at the top/bottom edges.-DMCer 07:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Supoort - The historical importance of the image outweighs the technical issues in my opinion. Supaluminal 03:57, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
