Courtesy collapse of graphic content on a page not about the graphic content, and which is being actively used for other content
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Two Japanese Imperial Marines who committed suicide by shooting themselves rather than surrender to U.S. Marines, Tarawa, Gilbert Islands in the Pacific.
Reason
I don't want to delist this for being graphic. We've had dead bodies on the Wikipedia mainpage before; we'll probably have them again. But it's such a bad reproduction of the photo that my urge for not censoring the main page wars with the overblown whites and dismal dark of the shadows. It's from 2007. That probably explains a lot.
