•  Oppose, sorry. Moving, but small and noisy. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:48, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - OK, now that I realize what I'm looking at, and sorry again for not paying enough attention before, I am still bothered by the color noise and would like to know whether that is a product of digitization and also whether it couldn't be fixed digitally. This is obviously an important picture, but I've seen better pictures than that from (and indeed in) the 1980s, including enlarged ones. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:21, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Very good quality for a 1982 image. More nitpicking by Ikan Kekek. Noise and size on a scanned 1980s image likely hand held. Give me a break. lNeverCry 07:31, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - I've stricken my oppose, as I hadn't paid attention to the year the photograph was taken and it escaped me that he was a World War I veteran. My bad on that. However, I would strongly request you to consider whether your conduct in supporting almost everything (I feel like you vote to support something like 80% of nominees) and then using inappropriate language like "more nitpicking" and ad hominem attacks when I make opposing arguments that end up carrying the day, such as in this case, is unbecoming of an admin. Or better yet, quit it. Thank you. And if you don't quit it, I will eventually start a case against you for holding a grudge and sniping, instead of simply arguing your case.

• @Ikan Kekek: You're right. My apologies. You won't see any more snarky comments like this from me. lNeverCry 23:31, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks. And I'll try harder to pay more attention to every aspect of a photo before voting on it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:33, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Old quality but a very good historic document, just look at the details of his attire. --cart-Talk 10:40, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose - I've decided to reinstate my opposition. I think there has to be a way to digitally remove the color noise. I don't volunteer to devote my time to doing so, but I don't think this photo should be featured in this condition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:17, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Jebulon. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 06:10, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
