Starved Vietnamese man[edit]

Original - A 23-year-old man who nearly starved to death after spending one month in a Viet Cong internment camp, 1966.

Since I never added an picture to FPC, I would like to know if there is any problems about it before shipping it off. GamerPro64 (talk) 00:35, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • This looks pretty good to me and the licensing seems to be in order, maybe some overexposure on the white areas. What I don't get is why is an image just from the '70s in black and white? Also I fear some people at FPC might whine say you need to make a pretty strong case for its encyclopedic value cause it might not be enough for them that this is a historic image.

    If not FP maybe VP for starvation? --I'ḏOne 22:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I guess I could try a VPC first. GamerPro64 (talk) 22:25, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is almost blindingly white. I wonder if it's the scan or the actual photo. Either way, that would probably be enough to prevent it from passing FPC. Makeemlighter (talk) 07:09, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there a possibility that this picture can pass a VPC? GamerPro64 (talk) 15:32, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I believe this has a strong chance of passing VPC. Jujutacular talk 19:37, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ya, go for VPC. Rishabh Tatiraju (talk) 17:14, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
