  • Support as nominator --Sir Richardson (talk) 17:19, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant oppose. Tremendous encyclopedic value, but substantial technical shortcomings. Durova412 20:59, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Support with comments: please upload radical changes under a new filename while nominations are underway, or else please notify people at user talk who have already reviewed. Durova412 00:35, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Durova. Jujutacular T · C 01:25, 21 March 2010 (UTC) (Support new picture below)[reply]
  • Oppose I'm moderately sure that I've seen better pictures of the trio. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:50, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Hey, what about this one which actually is high resolution, unlike this nom. Has a few scratches but doesn't look that bad. There is a similar color photo at Yalta Conference but it's even smaller than the nom. Fletcher (talk) 15:24, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would definitely support that one, it's iconic. But it might need a separate nomination. Different conference, different year. Jujutacular T · C 18:21, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sir Richardson changed out the picture. Perhaps this would be better closed, and restarted with the new image. Jujutacular T · C 23:00, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, I see that now. I agree. This should be closed and a new nomination created. At the very least, the comments from earlier should be struck. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:48, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: the new image was nominated previously here. --Avenue (talk) 23:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support It is one-of-a-kind image that deserves to get FP status IMO.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:08, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong support per Mbz1. Ultra-rare photo --George Chernilevsky talk 05:59, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Resolution is nice, but Jalta-confer.jpg is in color, with much smaller resolution. I'd like an FP of this iconic shot but this isn't it. HereToHelp (talk to me) 19:45, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Did they HAVE colour photography back then, and, if so, was it in fact used for this image, or is the colour version just a hand-tinting for a magazine or the like? Shoemaker's Holiday talk 12:29, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
