• Support ALT as well, before you ask. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:47, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

• Comment There is a border visible on the left-hand side of the image. Any way to remove it? I'm assuming it's not part of the painting. —Eustress ^talk 19:39, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

• Possible by cropping, but it requires special software due to the image's size. Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:56, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

• Support Fantastic. The frame/border on the LHS isn't a big issue IMO. Colin°^Talk 19:42, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Discussion of big image viewer status

• Suspended while the big image viewer is broken, meaning many will be prevented from reviewing this. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 20:44, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Aren't reviewers supposed to view the image using an image editing program? Makeemlighter (talk) 03:32, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
    • Bit heavy on the bandwidth, that. I think the large image viewer is better. Downloading and displaying the image in a particular program requires hardware that not everyone has (I'm on a netbook, for example). Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:52, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

• Support. Notable painting and insane resolution. O.J. (talk) 16:53, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
• Support edit 1. per Ottojula and PLW2. Clegs (talk) 07:29, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
• Support edit 1 which I'm trying to upload. It has a conservatively thinner black margin on the left. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 13:59, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

• So what's happening? Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:18, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

• Not sure if that was directed at me. Per convention, since I voted, I won't be closing this. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 18:51, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

• Sorry, poor formatting. It was more directed at Makeemlighter, Julia, or Jjron (or any other editors who often close). Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:10, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

And have not voted here. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:17, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
