Original – A World War II British propaganda poster advising against "careless talks" to protect sensitive information. The poster shows glamorous woman on a bar stool who makes eye contact with the viewer, often described as "bedroom eyes".
Reason
Good overall condition, with only minor border restoration. One of those creative WWII posters.

  • Question - Why not restore the border first? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:17, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I did restore its edges, but no more than that to preserve the historical condition of the poster. Brandmeistertalk 10:29, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think the edges could use a bit of smoothing, they are very (too) sharp, in my opinion.--Godot13 (talk) 04:33, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - I'm not sure about the EV. It's a nice picture and all, but it's buried at the bottom of one article, with no mention of this specific poster. It even says the best keeping quiet posters are those "depicting people giving away secrets in everyday situations". Which this one is not. Mattximus (talk) 23:36, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - does nostalgic value count? 😊 Atsme📞📧 13:56, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I like the message, its reminiscent of the US poster declaring that 'loose lips sink ships'. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:13, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as above. An interesting design, but it doesn't seem to have much EV beyond being another example, and a fairly atypical one at that. It's the kind of thing I'd like to support, but do not feel that I can at this time. Josh Milburn (talk) 02:26, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
