• Support as nominator – Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 21:04, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support either Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs} 12:56, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
• Comment – Should be the U.S. Navy, which has never been known as the "federal navy" – even, from what I've seen, during the Civil War. Sca (talk) 13:53, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

• Sca: No, that actually was used during the civil war. See this search and this article for just two examples. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:14, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

• I couldn't access your second cite.
  In Eng.-lang. historiography, the U.S. Navy during the Civil War usually is referred to as the Union Navy (as the U.S. Army is termed the Union Army). See, for example, this article. – Sca (talk) 15:24, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

• Support either. MER-C 17:48, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support either, prefer Edit 1, or similar. The file pages say images were extracted from this, but they were extracted from this. There is minor scratch close to the tip of his left hand index finger, not sure if it needs fixing though. Bammesk (talk) 18:06, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
• Comment The first one is cropped too much. The second would benefit from a little work around the left hand. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:00, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
• Would tentatively support Edit 1 as per my comment on the talk page. The pant leg could maybe take another pass or two (I'm not sure -- something looks very slightly off -- not a deal-breaker), and there's still a scratch on the pointer finger of the left hand that I presume Charles is referring to. I don't know if there's much else that can be done with the left hand, given the original. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:23, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
• Charlesjsharp and Rhododendrites I've further restored Edit one, removing the scratch on the pointer finger (I think?) Let my know how it looks... Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:24, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support Edit 1 (the updated version following the "I've further restored" comment above) — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 22:36, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
• Original too cropped for me. Support edit 1 Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
• I prefer to Support Edit 1 : DreamSparrow ^Chat 05:20, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
