Uncle Sam Wants a Better Scan[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 25 Feb 2011 at 14:15:09 (UTC)

Uncle Sam Wants You, a famous WWI recruitment poster
Reason
Lots of ugly stains, this was listed in 2006 but the image isn't actually the one promoted due to a later upload (from an unknown source) - and the promoted one wouldn't be suitable for FP today either, due to small size and being a detail, not the whole image. Restoration of the LoC scans is completely possible. This particular copy is slightly bigger, but heavily JPEG artefacted, which comes out if you try to restore it (I poked at it a bit). Unfortunately, I've sworn off Commons, but I can give an idea of what should be possible: http://www.deviantart.com/download/185266146/i_want_you_for_u_s__army_rst__n_by_adamcuerden-d32aw9u.png

Legal notice: I do not release that last link into the public domain, and live in Britain, so I have a sweat-of-brow copyright on the extensive restoration. It IS CC-by licensed, though I'd prefer it not be on Commons. Don't mind if it's uploaded to en-wiki, though. Information page is here.

Articles this image appears in
Propaganda, James Montgomery Flagg, Gesture, National personification, Scottish American (why?), Military recruitment, Lord Kitchener Wants You, Uncle Sam
Previous nomination/s
As mentioned above, this has never actually gone through FPC, as it's a new version uploaded in 2008, when the FPC ran in 2006.

  • Info commons has a different opinion: Commons:Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/File:I_want_you_for_U.S._Army_3b48465u_edit.jpg regards, Peter Weis (talk) 14:09, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • How does Commons opposing a superior image to this mean this inferior one shouldn't be delisted? Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:49, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Since quality is the only real criteria on commons vs quality and EV on enwiki if the only issue is the quality of the image then I'd say that what commons users think can be quite relevant although by no means should we solely base our decisions on theirs.

        • But this isn't featured on Commons. So jhow does it not being featured on Commons mean that Commons have a different opinion, and therefore we should keep? Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:36, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep find a restored version and I'd be more than happy to support delisting this image to replace it. Cat-five - talk 15:35, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist that was not my point adam. i support your delisting and must admit that i'm not completely happy with the source of my restoration either. if looking at the source of the current fp, you'll notice that this image has a different one. a rescan by the loc or another source could do the trick. regards, Peter Weis (talk) 19:37, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
