•  Oppose It is an old newspaper. I can imagine that this reaches FP on en: as encyclopaedic value is most important there. But an old newspaper on commons...? Lycaon (talk) 10:33, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

• I believe an FP on commons gains more visibility, and are then likely to be used on other wikipedias as well. So I think value should be important here too (??). -- Benh (talk) 11:49, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

•  Question Ist there an uncompressed original and could it be saved as a png? The whole small print is an artifacts fest and at 800kb for the jpg, the png shouldn't be prohibitively large. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 19:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree about the jpg quality mentioned above. /Daniel78 (talk) 00:04, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose As Lycaon. --Karelj (talk) 10:23, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Neutral I like the image, but Lycaon has a point. - Anonymous Dissident^Talk 14:31, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose the text is more valuable and interesting than the image itself. Ianare (talk) 05:33, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

•  Support - This is one of the most famous newspapers in history: Emile Zola's defense of Dreyfuss. This newspaper would be discussed in most school textbooks. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Would support a png version or a better quality jpg than 800kB. Using low quality jpg for a picture that's all text is an obvious technical flaw that has a simple solution. Oh, and of course getting a high quality facsimile of one of the more important documents of western thought is of course a valuable contribution to many of our projects. This isn't just a repository for birds and butterflies. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 14:55, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose I agree with trialsanderrors: this is an extremely important document, which must be available at Commons; but the quality of this copy is not good enough for FP. -- MJJR (talk) 14:11, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
