•  Info created by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce - uploaded by Ed g2s - nominated by JovanCormac
•  Info The first ever photograph. This nomination is designed (together with the delisting nomination below) to switch from the uncompressed version to this one as a Featured Picture. It's Featured on 4 Wikipedias already and is in the more suitable JPEG format. That way we will have one version that is Featured on many sites, and the uncompressed version as an alternative.
•  Info Please support, for a little less bureaucracy!
•  Support As nominator. -- JovanCormac 20:59, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

•  Support important historical document in its best quality --Dmitry Rozhkov (talk) 14:28, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose moving from an uncompressed format to a compressed format is the absolute worst reason to defeature a picture. GerardM (talk) 09:26, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
  • This is a photograph (albeit an old one). It has been discussed a million times that PNGs are unsuited for photographs. Only recently, a photo - I believe it showed a goat - was opposed for being PNG rather than JPEG. -- JovanCormac 10:04, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
