Please cut and paste new entries to the bottom of this page, creating a new monthly archive (by closing date) when necessary.

For promoted entries, add '''Promoted Example.ogg''' --~~~~ to the bottom of the entry, replacing Example.ogg with the file that was promoted.
For entries not promoted, add '''Not promoted''' --~~~~ to the bottom of the entry.
For entries demoted, add '''Demoted Example.ogg''' --~~~~ to the bottom of the entry.

Use variants as appropriate, e.g. with a large set of files, all of which pass, '''Promoted all''' is fine, but if one of them didn't pass for some reason, make sure that's clear.

I Have a Dream

I don't think I need to explain why I'm nominating this, other than out of surprise that it hasn't been already. Its encyclopedic and historical value is obviously immense, and it meets all criteria. Sir Richardson (talk) 19:21, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support --- encyclopedic value is very high, sound quality is good. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 07:08, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support - It is public domain, so there are no IP issues. On the garbage sound system built into my notebook computer at work, Dr. King's speech is easily intelligible. "Its encyclopedic and historical value is obviously immense" is no exaggeration. NYCRuss ☎ 17:34, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question: - I thought the speech is copyrighted by the King's family. The article I Have a Dream states that the speech can be used under fair use only until 2038. Even though University of California released its recording into the Public Domain, the speech itself is not free yet. So, can we promote sound with such a copyright status? --Kimse (talk) 19:17, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not support - I have nominated it for speedy deletion on commons, as it is a copyvio, as per Kimse. It can be used under fair use, but it certainly isn't PD, not until 2038. --Russavia ^{I'm chanting as we speak} 12:30, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If desired I can retrieve the file for local project fair use purposes. Just ask on my talkpage. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:14, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

George W. Bush on the Columbia disaster

President of the United States George W. Bush speaks on the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.

Appears in both Space Shuttle Columbia disaster and just Space Shuttle Columbia. A beautiful small speech on a sad moment that left American space exploration at a stand-still for nearly a half-decade.

Nominate and support. Staxringold _talk^contribs 19:30, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It seems this recording is a bit distorted, probably due to high compression. This recording sounds a little bit better. Jujutacular ^T · C 00:38, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, the file has been replaced (and I re-fixed the couple patches of static I fixed in the original as well). This one also has a much crisper opening, the old recording had a weird piece of static. Staxringold _talk^contribs 01:14, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support A good recording of the president reaction to an important event. Z gin der 2010-03-16T16:12Z (UTC)
Support per Zginder. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 07:09, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
