- Comment. This should definitely be a delist/replace nomination. However, I don't to see that much difference between the two versions. The old version has some dust issues but might have more detail. O.J. (talk) 02:21, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Keep for now (or Oppose if you like)Neutral now based on new edit. Each has some advantages. However, to me the newly offered edit appears to have undergone either considerable cloning or aggressive noise reduction in the sky (perhaps a bit of both), and significant sharpening and contrast adjustment on the lower part to bring out more details (sorry, the image page does say it's been retouched, but it doesn't say what's been done, so I'm having to make some guesses). While that work has succeeded in bringing out some details better, it has also brought out a lot of extra noise/grain and artifacting in the smoke clouds and importantly on the ship itself (increased artifacting could be a side effect of the saving technique too). The work done on the sky has also been overdone in my opinion, making it look unnatural with too much loss of texture that's there in the other version (especially the smoke plumes in the top left-hand corner, but not just there). I appreciate the work put in, but for now I'd personally say stick with the existing one. --jjron (talk) 15:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- Support. I believe this one is an improvement over the original FP. O.J. (talk) 02:57, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
- Support, does appear to be a whole lot cleaner than the current FP. As an aside, would have thought it should also appear on the USS Arizona page... Nikthestoned 11:04, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- Support Replace current with this one. Clegs (talk) 11:38, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- Delist and replace and someone write me a postcard on why we have to do this twice over. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 20:26, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
