Question Why PNG? Since the source is a JPEG file, nothing is gained. Regards, Yann (talk) 06:31, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
- I touched the image up in Photoshop and saved it as a .psd and exported it with the “quick export as .png” feature. -- Fluffy89502 ~ talk 05:40, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
Oppose I don't see what the historic value is, and it's not enough to overcome the low quality of this shot. Daniel Case (talk) 20:20, 11 July 2019 (UTC)- Oppose Per Daniel Case--Boothsift 23:03, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
- Support - I find it touching, it is historical - before FDR, kids wouldn't be getting these kinds of meals, would they? - and the quality is acceptable for 1941 and an indoor shot of this kind, in this context, I think. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:42, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
- Maybe, like a lot of other people, I don't have enough pleasant memories associated with school lunches to appreciate that

- The context was that when FDR started his time in office, people were starving. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:33, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
- The image also highlights racial segregation in the forties (all those children are Mexican, no other race of children are in that room). A variant of this image is used on the page Mendez v. Westminster which banned segregation like this in places including NM, notwithstanding the part with FDR. -- Fluffy89502 ~ talk 05:40, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
- That's very interesting. I didn't pick up on all of the students being Mexican-American, and I didn't know about that case. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:07, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose Bad composition and overall not a good photo. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:56, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
Weak support It is a touching image, although in essence it is government propaganda and should probably be seen through a slightly sceptical lens. The quality is not brilliant, but overall I think it's interesting enough to feature. Cmao20 (talk) 14:31, 12 July 2019 (UTC)- Oppose Agree with Daniel and Frank -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:29, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose We can't drop our standards just because it's old, when it's very possible to have created better photos in the 1940s. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:33, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per Frank. --Fischer.H (talk) 09:33, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
