• Support, nice cleanup. Another picture that holds no real interest for me, but that's no reason to oppose. Could the border possibly be filled in just below the signature? That would seem consistent with restoration. J Milburn (talk) 00:07, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I could promote this right now with the support quorum, but J Milburn brings up an important point. Anyone want to fix that border?   Nezzadar ☎   16:34, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
