  • Oppose It's such a nice map, but why put this copy forward as a candidate? Even as a thumb it has really obvious problems (colour cast, skewed) and at full size it's really disappointing. Image quality is so-so, it needs to be around twice the size to appreciate its fine detail and – final nail – it's incomplete, as the bottom right is cropped off. A bigger, better version would stand a much better chance. mikaultalk 13:12, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above; it was summed up nicely. -- Phoenix2 (holla) 00:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose At full size, the quality has made some of the words impossible to read, especially in the top right hand corner. A clearer picture is necessary. Z1720 01:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
