Taken from a different site, slightly different decision on RPM speed (record players from that period did not have exact RPMs)- and a lot less crackling.

A pretty good recording of a patriotic song, eventually our national anthem, including a verse that is not heard in present times. Another astonishing fact is the recording was done by Margaret Woodrow Wilson, the daughter of American President Woodrow Wilson; the recording appears in Francis Scott Key (he penned the lyrics to our anthem), The Star-Spangled Banner and Margaret Woodrow Wilson, and the recording came from the Internet Archive.

- I am also not worried about which version is promoted, either one is fine. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 10:07, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support: A good quality (the second is better) historical recording of a well-known song...... Dendodge .. Talk^Contribs 20:25, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination. Prefer the alternate. Durova^Charge! 09:38, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If this is nominated for who sang it support, but his should not be the featured topic of the national anthem of the U.S.A. We need a good quality recording for that. Zginder 2008-08-27T16:42Z (UTC)
- Finding recordings for our anthem isn't that hard, but it was nominated for who sung it. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 16:49, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted MargaretWoodrowWilson-TheStarSpangledBanner.ogg --MZMcBride (talk) 02:53, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

N.B. - I've switched it from MargaretWoodrowWilson-TheStarSpangledBanner2.ogg to MargaretWoodrowWilson-TheStarSpangledBanner.ogg, as MargaretWoodrowWilson-TheStarSpangledBanner2.ogg never got the chance to be voted on due to a typo. There was a slight miscommunication. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 03:41, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
