  •  Comment I considered geocoding this image, however due to the age of the photograph an exact location is not available, so I didn't want to misrepresent the location. The town names are given, so approximate coordinates could be determined if geocoding is necessary. – flamurai 06:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would be willing to change the scope, however I chose "trench systems" specifically to avoid competition with those photos, which I would scope as "trenches", since this photo shows systems of multiple trenches, while those show one specific trench. If others think this would be more clear with a more specific scope, I'd be willing to change it. – flamurai 18:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I did wonder if you had chosen 'systems' very carefully. I still think, though, that at the very least Image:Trench construction diagram 1914.png could be so described. I would support if you did restrict to 'aerial view'. --MichaelMaggs 20:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support For illustrating articles of e.g. trenches of World War I, this is a very illustrative image. As this one is an aerial view of a system of trenches it is even better. Might be superseded by a photo from present day done with modern technology, but as trenches are hopelessly outdated today and trenches from World War I just are more interesting for the same reason, I support this image. --EPO 16:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
