OriginalYasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin receiving the Nobel Peace Prize following the Oslo Accords
Reason
Enormous EV, depicting two Israeli leaders (Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres) and one Palestinian leader (Yasser Arafat) recieving the Nobel Peace Prize for the Oslo Accords, one of the shaping moments in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and in the recent history of the Middle East in general. Great to have this official photo from 1994 in this high resolution, and the quality is quite good. FP in Commons.

  • Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 07:33, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment --- You need to fix the spelling of "peace" first, then I'll be a support. Dougie WII (talk) 08:39, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Great historical record here. I have just one problem: Both the caption of the picture, and the nomination blurb give the names of the two Israelis first. There is a probably reason for this. The image on Commons has its title written in Israeli (read right to left) so the translation into English follows this exactly. Then this has been transposed to the caption, and we are now reading the identity of the people wrongly. The names should commence, (in left-to-right English) with Yasser Arafat. It is very important that this is corrected before it appears on the front page.
I have just fixed the problem on Wikimedia Commons. Tomer T, please follow here. Amandajm (talk) 01:10, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's such a big issue, but it was fixed. You could of course fixed it yourself in here also, instead of waiting for me (I was busy). Tomer T (talk) 09:17, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
