  • Support – Pretty good action shot with decent res. Links to an extensive (probably too extensive – 23,000 words!) article about a most significant ongoing issue. Sca (talk) 15:32, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per my !vote at Commons. To add to that, I like it even more since then because this shows the refugees at the moment they become part of the ongoing European migrant crisis. It is the end of their beginning. Daniel Case (talk) 22:58, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
