- Weak Oppose Good pic, but is it really encyclopedic? Clegs (talk) 00:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Very, very, very weak oppose I think the guy in the tower on the right detracts from the focus of the image (which is the race, I assume). --Sharkface217 06:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- comment: I included him on purpose to show where the officials are arranged Furmanj (talk) 10:36, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- I think the amount that it adds to the encyclopedic relevance makes up for the fact that it's slightly distracting, it would definitely detract from the relevance to not have the official included. Cat-five - talk 05:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- Weak support, definitely encyclopedic... and I like the Judge being there... just not sure this is the best arrangement. gren グレン 20:54, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Sharkface217. —αἰτίας •discussion• (Happy new year!) 00:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support despite the concern above about the official it is a very nice shot and the official makes sense per my reasoning in my comment above I believe. Cat-five - talk 05:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- Opposealthough encyclopaedic, it is uninspiring. The judge, his tower, and the blurry pipe just to the left of that tower are distracting. sorry. Witty Lama 02:07, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
