  • Oppose Hard to justify a 640px image, plus the image is also shoehorned into Irish American in an ungodly large collage of images in the infobox. — raeky (talk | edits) 00:41, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is this a higher quality than the current nominee?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:17, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • That is the source of the nominated picture. There has been no reduction in quality. Jujutacular T · C 07:12, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Scratch that, he did upload the reduced resolution version. I have uploaded the full sized version over it - now it is 1,243 × 1,536 pixels. Jujutacular T · C 08:38, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Raeky, please state whether your oppose vote still stands on this at the new resolution, although I am considering withdrawing it and sending it to FPC.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:19, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • 1243x1536 is sufficient, it would print good at 3x5. If the image is good enough for a FP or not, remains to be seen, usually a lot of the raw scans from the LOC needs restoration. — raeky (talk | edits) 14:54, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
