Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Little Nemo Elephant 1.jpg
This is a page from "Little Nemo in Slumberland", which ran from 1905 to 1914. Winsor McCay was able to create sequential art that is still striking even a century later. This is a prime example of how he was a master of flat-color comics, and, above all, a master of form and composition.

- Weak oppose - I'd certainly support a good Nemo image; my problem with this one is the language - the text is not English (Dutch, at a guess). That implies that this copy was not published in the U.S., which could confuse the copyright status. Regardless of that question, McCay wrote in English; a featured image ought to be the original McCay work in English. Including a foreign version in the article is fine, to illustrate the spread of Nemo's publication, though this image needs more details on the source. --Davepape 03:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose, a featured image of a comic written in english on the english wikipedia should be in english. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 04:00, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Agree with above. (Yes, it's either Dutch or maybe Afrikaans? Can anyone say for sure?) --Janke | Talk 07:24, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment It is Dutch (except for the title). The expiry term for copyright is 70 years in the EU as well. Preslav 12:22, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Weak oppose. If the language of the original comic was English, then an example of the comic should also be in English. However, it's not a bad image in technical merit. --Tewy 21:21, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. I can't read what it says :( sikander 18:51, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
