Question Why would such an old picture be preferred to be used in the articles over one recently taken? --196.45.153.2 (talk) 18:01, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, one of the longest sections in the Camp Edwards article is about World War II. There's historic value to the image. Durova³⁷³ 18:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Also an obstacle course is an obstacle course. A recent one isn't "more" obstacle course'y. Staxringold _talk^contribs 00:25, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, but a more recent pic could be in colour and/or show more than one obstacle. Modest Genius ^talk 05:05, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support - Of course, for the EV, but I don't think this is as good of a quality as most of your restorations. It still meets the criteria, barely. ceranthor 13:18, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
