Support Wonderful early acoustic recording of a masterwork. Edison (talk) 03:48, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Support Excellent quality for a near hundred year old sound. Nezzadar ☎ 03:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

God! That's where I recognize this from. That movie about Vietnam. What was it called? Nezzadar ☎ 15:13, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Based on a quick google search I'm going to guess Apocalypse Now :) Jujutacular ^T · C 03:12, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's Apocalypse Now. My favorite film of all time. Staxringold _talk^contribs 06:01, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support although the seemingly "whistle sound" at 6 sec is tiny a bit distracting, this is a 100 old sound of Wagner's famous work.--Caspian blue 04:07, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support but note that Ride of the Valkyries currently has the sound 2 times listed. Staxringold _talk^contribs 06:03, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Either we need a good performance or a historic one by a famous orchestra. This is neither. There should be some good material available for such a famous piece. Has anyone looked? Berlin Phil? Furtwängler? --Klein zach 01:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Do you imagine that there is the slightest likelihood that the Berlin Philharmonic or DGG would grant public domain for a recent recording? Get serious. Edison (talk) 04:22, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Woodrow Wilson, "The great white father now calls you his brothers"

Woodrow Wilson delivers a speech to Native Americans, famous for the line "The great white father now calls you his brothers."

We need a Woodrow Wilson sound, and this gets right at it with an interesting sound that has been stable in article space for a while (though I've restored it). Staxringold _talk^contribs 00:42, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominate and support. Staxringold _talk^contribs 00:42, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per the technical issue; the noise seems like a result from transferring sound to computer with a wire. Unless this distracting noise is reduced, my vote would remain here.--Caspian blue 02:42, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The original file [1] is free of the weird artifacts introduced by the "restoration." I would support the original file without the odd sounds introduced in the background. Edison (talk) 04:12, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too strong on the dehiss. Them From Space 10:11, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
