Oppose - the sticker in the lower left is both really ugly and covers text, making it really difficult to restore away - though at least it's pretty obvious what the text is. Stamps everywhere. A thoroughly vandalised map. Might try and restore this, but anything I touch doesn't pass of late. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 06:05, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose — I don't see any aesthetic or historical point in running this. Sca (talk) 14:52, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Approve - historically relevant: the map shows Manila as it was left by the Spaniards (1898) after 330 years of colonialism. Its a very important marker withing the Philippines history.Paolobon140 (talk) 14:48, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
