- Question It says nearly exhausted, but the sulphur seems to stretch as far as the eye can see, if the colours are correct. So there seems to be a mismatch here - if the caption can state that it's nearly exhausted, this should be visible in the picture. Samsara 09:22, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose – It's important to note that this photo was taken in 1943. While technically first-class for that period, it inevitably is shy on detail. Further, I can't see the EV unless it was being used to illustrate the history of sulfur (preferred spelling) extraction – but it doesn't appear in the article's sketchy history section. (That appears to be a steam shovel or steam-powered dragline in the distance – something that hasn't been used for 60 to 70 years.) Sca (talk) 16:32, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
