  • Comment I'm a complete sucker for historic drawings and this is a good scan but I'll refrain from voting for now. I reckon a transcription and translation of the various inset texts on the image page would raise the enc value a lot. The header is translated in Murerplan but not the rest. ~ VeledanTalk 23:01, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support' I agree with Veledan that a translation would make it more encyclopedic, but that's an article issue, not an inherent problem in the image itself. Adam Cuerden talk 23:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think the translations belong on the image page irrespective of whether they're in the article, but I'll offer a weak support despite what I think is an incomplete caption :-) ~ VeledanTalk 21:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support what a wonderful illustration. The detail of the image is very nice, the execution is good, and of course the historic value.-Andrew c [talk] 17:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Excellent. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-07-05 13:41Z
  • Support it looks good. -Fcb981 14:55, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. It's cut off at the edges (including text in at least one place). Even if that were fixed, I would expect the full translation to be included before supporting.--ragesoss 04:32, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This image has no source information. Can someone fix this before I promote it? MER-C 02:24, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a message for the uploader, asking. I couldn't find any images of this quality on a websearch. ~ VeledanTalk 18:47, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Uploader has added source info. Sufficient, do you think? Given the age of the picture ~ VeledanTalk 16:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done by the uploader.--62.2.108.30 16:46, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
