Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Jacques Plante
The image depict one of the greatest ice hockey goaltenders of all time with a unique and historic piece of equipment that he introduced to the game.
My concerns are that there are a few blown highlights on his arm, jpeg artifacts in the upper right corner, and the resolution. If (or if not) these problems are fixed, is this picture Featured Picture worthy?

- Although there is an exception to the resolution and technical quality rules for historical images, because this is obviously a staged portrait, I don't think it would get much leeway. Looking for a file that might be bigger and might have more information, I followed the link on the image description page, and I came across this disturbing text "Copyright: Unknown." First, you need to justify the public domain status more fully, then you can go looking for a higher quality image file. If you resolved the copyright and the three technical issues you mentioned, it might have a chance. Enuja 23:33, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- I noticed the 'Copyright: Unknown' before adding the image here but the page also state 'Restrictions on use: Nil' and that it is a public domain image. I'm not from Canada so someone else has to make a better despcription. --Krm500 23:53, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- For other editors, we're talking about this [1] page. I see "Restrictions on use: Nil" but no-where do I see that it is a public domain image. Just because the archive itself isn't putting any restrictions on the image doesn't mean that the image is in the public domain. I've searched for both "public" and "domain" on that page I come up with nothing. Enuja 01:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
