  • Question -I noted a tab on the file page and it says not to upload the file to commons since it was taken out of the US. I'm guessing... Upload the restored version to wikipedia? On another note, the Eiffel Tower could be darkened. Anyone preferred a darkened version? victorrocha (talk) 02:16, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I realize this is suspended for cleanup, and although restoration is a worthwhile undertaking for its own sake I see obstacles to FP candidacy that no restoration could solve. Composition is unbalanced and cuts off one figure at the shoulder, which is a problem that will get worse with needed clockwise rotation and cropping. Focus is soft, lighting is unimpressive, resolution is not great, main subject takes up a small portion of the image. It's a snapshot. If this were the only free image of Hitler available then of course its EV would override the shortcomings, but we already have a featured photograph of Hitler with Mussolini. If we need a second FP of Hitler, the Hitler biography already has three other photos that depict more of the man and his career. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to show a head and shoulders portrait, or a Nazi rally, or an SS parade, than a photographically inferior image that makes Hitler look like a tourist?
