Protesters march towards the Capitol[edit]

Original - Protesters march down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. (USA), during the September 15, 2007 protest against the Iraq War. Protesters are shown with a variety of signs, including the yellow and black signs of ANSWER Coalition, which organized the event.
Reason
It's well-composed illustration of a fairly significant protest, showing both the large crowd and the Capitol in the distance, with many legible signs, outfits and props. Incidentally, it's also used as the cover of a recent Cambridge University Press book, Speech Out of Doors.

  • Comment needs a little more EV for VP. The image itself is great, and good that the signs are readable, but it needs some more EV in description. Maybe improve captions and/or find another relevant article? The captions within the file page should be more descriptive, telling us exactly what's happen without having to go to the article.

    • I've expanded the description and added the image to Pennsylvania Avenue.--ragesoss (talk) 02:32, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Great, but I think the caption in this thumbnail better describes the event. Can that be used instead (or merge it into the current one)? ZooFari 03:01, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • If you mean on the description page, I think it's now the same caption; I had used the wrong formatting for linking Wikipedia articles, so the linked text was all omitted. Fixed now.--ragesoss (talk) 03:55, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • Great. Just one more thing, are you able to coordinate the image? If so, it will fill my EV critique to support.
            • Done. I should've done that earlier.--ragesoss (talk) 04:23, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support meets my EV criteria to support. It is also an honor to have it as a front cover :-) Did you check if they, you know, released it with your desired license? ZooFari 04:36, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, the author contacted me directly and asked for permission to use it; at my request, he tried to get Cambridge University Press to include a CC license for the cover, but they wouldn't and I let them use it anyway. For other types of publications I wouldn't do that without payment, but for academic books the authors (who rarely make any money off the books) often have to secure all the image rights themselves. So all I got was a copy of the book. --ragesoss (talk) 05:05, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well it's still an honor and very generous of you :-) ZooFari 05:08, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
