•  Info created by Benjamin Henry Latrobe - restored and uploaded by Durova - nominated by JovanCormac (talk) 09:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Info Highly detailed historical (1807) floor plan of the White House. Masterfully restored. Featured on EN already. -- JovanCormac (talk) 09:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Support As nominator. -- JovanCormac (talk) 09:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral A high resolution scan showing some interesting details of early white house design. I've looked at the LOC original and it is clear to me that a great effort has gone into restoring it, which is highly appreciated. I acknowledge that the floor plan is historically interesting. As I understand the roosm are not used in that exact way today. The technical quality is very good. The reason why I do not support is that the floor plan itself does not catch my eye in any way. There are rooms with some dimensions and some annotations telling about the intended purpose of each room. And...? Maybe it is just because I am not American that I cannot fully appreciate this floor plan, or maybe I am just ignorant... --Slaunger (talk) 22:46, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Support evolution of landmark buildings, highly encyclopaedic and well done. GerardM (talk) 16:57, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

  • I know nothing is stated against it in the rules, but I would say that personally I would have abstained from supporting my own creation, when another user had nominated, as it seems like having two "free" supports. I will open a thread about it at the talk page to open a discussion about it. --Slaunger (talk) 21:04, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
    • The last time someone nominated one of my restorations without notifying me, I did abstain. And people criticized me for not supporting it. It failed by a hair. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Durova (talk) 00:16, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
      • Oh, I was not aware of that. I only personally dislike to sup own creations, when nominated by others. I see on the FPC talk page that I am fairly alone with that point of view, and I have accepted that this practise is OK, and that it is the will of the community. --Slaunger (talk) 08:15, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
