  •  Info Created by Gallica, uploaded by Herr Satz, nominated by Yann (talk) 09:34, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info The publication of J'accuse ! by Zola marked a turning point in the Dreyfus affair. Zola was brought to court for libel, and condamned, but it created a uproar against unjustice, and enhanced the freedom of expression. Yann (talk) 06:26, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I think the original PNG should be featured, but the JPEG version to be displayed instead. Yann (talk) 09:34, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I oppose featuring images that are so high resolution that they demonstrate Wikimedia's technological inadequacies to the world! Feel free to use my oppose vote as ammunition to agitate for a software improvement. 99of9 (talk) 05:23, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral was originally going to just comment but I do agree with 99of9 point that since we lack the technology to actually view the document how can we promote it. Additionally the guidelines say for these types of works ....Likewise, scans or photographs of important documents - which may not be at all artistic - nonetheless may be highly valuable if the documents are historically significant. The reason for the image's historical importance should be briefly stated in the nomination, for those reviewers unfamiliar with the subject. please can someone explain whats the importance of this document is Gnangarra 05:34, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose This looks like a photocopy. This version is the original newspaper. --Lošmi (talk) 16:22, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
