  • Oppose I'm not convinced this 1978 photo has a lot of current EV for the article Newark, New Jersey, and it could be replaced by a more recent color image. If this photo was illustrating some notable building that no longer exists then it would have higher EV, but the Pulaski Skyway still exists today. Pine 06:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Have to agree here with Pine, the EV for this picture is for Pulaski Skyway not Newark, and theres several good images of it already on that page.. — raekyt 09:13, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
