- Comment I think that this photo would benefit from restoration - there should be a TIFF version on the SLV's website which can provide the basis of this. Also, note that the photo is the work of Allan C. Green, and not the SLV. Nick-D (talk) 03:55, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
- The SLV website - or, at least, the link given on the file's description page - doesn't seem to want to work at the moment. Is the link correct? Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:03, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- I think it's a dud link. This appears to be the correct link. --jjron (talk) 13:15, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll have a look and see what I can do. Suspect it'll be a new nom, though, given how soon this closes. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:22, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
