- Reason
- While a little snapshotty, given the government really didn't want this getting documented, it's as good as we're going to get. I think it's a decent documentary photo, even if its composition could be better.

- No, because we would end up with less detail and sharpness. The best way to do this would be to find another copy of the image and scan it physically.

- @Charlesjsharp: Feel free to disagree - It's a matter of how you feel featured pictures should highlight subjects - but I'd say, given the other is the lead, and given this shows something different and specific, we can justify two. The alternative can lead to a situation where we don't get the extra work put in for any image other than the lead, and that's a situation I'd rather avoid. As such, I support.

From the coordinates of the photo, I assume you were staying at the Hacienda San Lucas, which is where my wife and I stayed as well. Choliamb (talk) 14:17, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- Indeed we were. I climbed inside the tiny children's play hut half way down the lawn and crouched in there waiting for the woodpecker to land on the stump.

- Reason
- Rather nice, free photo of the tennis player who broke the colour barrier. Since this was a photograph by a newspaper photographer, not high art, and hence we can presume it would have been intended to be cropped, I took the liberty of cleaning up the left edge a little more than I usually would to crop out that weird fringe-y pillar and deal with the distracting shadow.

- Support – I believe the "fringe-y pillar" is actually a native Italian fusilli tree, a rare Campanian endemic restricted to moist north-facing slopes with rich volcanic soils. I seem to remember reading that Gibson was a big pasta fan and liked to bring a couple of potted trees on tour with her so that she could enjoy fresh-picked fusilli whenever she wanted, although I can't find a source for that right now.

- I don't think the article being written by nominator is a problem, but the image is cut off on the right and has too much foreground. Perspective is fairly fixable, so I'd say it's about 80% of the way to what may be our first high school FP: There's a lot of good in the image. I'd suggest playing with angle to get the full building in, and then you may need to collaborate on a perspective adjustment and crop. It's a great image, just not quite at the top level, but I think you can do it. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 13:22, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

- @Charlesjsharp: For the era and this kind of print, I'd say it's in the normal range. Now, I have darkened it a bit from the faded original, and that did up the saturation slightly, which you could argue was fade correction, but could also argue for tweaking it back. To give a few examples of otfrom various museums, and using only originals, for comparison:
- There's such a wide range that I don't think this is out of line. At the same time, there's such a wide range that tweaking the saturation down a bit (not to greyscale, but a little bit) wouldn't be out of line either. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 13:30, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
- I'm sure there is an 'expert' view as to what to do (and you're probably in that category!). I just downloaded it and clicked 'autotone' in Photoshop and I much prefer the result but as for authenticity? I have no idea. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:14, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

- While a bit undersized, I don't think any detail is lost, and it is the best image we're likely to get of her. Only government-produced works have any chance of being out of copyright given whe she lived. Do wish it was less high-contrast.

- Reason
- These were the originators of the roles, so no real issues with it being a revival, and it's only about three years after the multi-year original run closed. Crop has been rightfully criticised at Commons FPC, but we can't go back and recrop it, and it does a good job at getting the feel of the play (a satire on æstheticism, much in the line of Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience which opened shortly thereafter.

- @Vinícius94: I've detailed all the research on the file page; does look like it'll need a renom since it took a bit to sort; I'd suggest waiting a bit (I'm going to give The Colonel a month, but there weren't active issues with that, just a slow period at FPC that meant it doesn't look like it'll reach quorum. They happen. This one, however, had some issues which are now sorted, so can probably be renommed a lot quicker.). Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.4% of all FPs. 11:51, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

- Comment - Have we had a chance to see the front and back of the image to ascertain if a copyright notice was included? I'm not seeing it in the file history, and AFAIR Doctor Macro tends to only upload the image portion. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:24, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- I mean, it's at the period where there'd presumably need to be a copyright renewal. Can we check for that? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.4% of all FPs. 20:20, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- That would be doable as well, though I'm not sure how it would appear in the catalogues if it was renewed. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:16, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1942: Well, check my work: I've searched 1968 1969 and 1970 - both halves of the year are included in the Internet Archive uploads - and then re-searched for Havana https://archive.org/details/catalogofco1968322711libr/page/238/mode/2up?q=Havana] [2] [3]. I suppose we could check further, but I'm seeing no evidence of renewal. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.4% of all FPs. 17:03, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492: I also checked 1941 - nothing relevant for Havana, and for a Miranda search, nothing relevant again. The film itself, for comparison, does show up in the appropriate section of Dramatic works/Motion Pictures: 1941 1969

- Reason
- High resolution, clear, in public domain, used as the top image in police car to demonstrate a basic police sedan as is familiar to North Americans (not Americentrism, article has one police car from each continent in the lead), has an English description (just added one), seems slightly edited in terms of saturation and whatnot but doesn't overdo it.

- Eh... It's pretty low resolution. Artifact's fascinating, but the dull gradiant background and the image being just 1,181 pixels high (and that with a decent amount of empty foreground) is hard to get past. It's also a little JPEG-artifacty if you zoom in a bit. I did some tests, and (given the generated file size) it looks like the quality was set in the 75-80% range, which is a bit low.
