  • Comment Is there any value to retaining the face from the original? And a small thing, I would prefer to see the image centred on the red square (not as it currently sits in the corner) Cowtowner (talk) 22:16, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have decided not to include the face because it would look somehow fake, but I could still try. As for the framing, this is a svg image, meaning that the background is just an empty and transparent space. Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:53, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • For me, that would probably be a condition of my support. If you have the time to try, I'd like to see the results. Cowtowner (talk) 21:16, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Misleading; claims to be a specific reproduction, but lacks details that appear in the original. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:18, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
