- Weak oppose Interesting and okay quality, but I find enc. rather low: It doesn't show very much of the ship, and other pictures of the full ship exist at that time as well (File:USS Texas (BB-35).jpg). SpencerT♦Nominate! 03:39, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- I have just added this to 14"/45 caliber gun as well (forgot that it was a picture of the guns, too...) Do you think this increases the encyclopedic value enough to change your !vote? Regards, —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 03:51, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. Sorry, have to agree with the limited EV, seems kitschy rather than encyclopaedic. And also brings back creepy and unsettling memories of Cher in that filmclip. --jjron (talk) 11:44, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose, I've got to agree on the limited EV argument, plus the focus should be on either the guns or the crew, not both. I say this as one of two editors who have brought USS Texas (BB-35) up to GA/A and have a vested interest in the article on the ship here. -MBK004 05:10, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
