Review
(criteria)
  • Template:Supported as not yet eligible for VI status. Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it cannot at present become a valued image since it currently fails Valued image criterion no. 5 (should be geocoded, but is not). Since the nominator is also the photographer there should be no difficulty in providing at least an approximate location, even though this is an historic image. "All images are expected to be geocoded unless it would not be appropriate to do so". I will be happy to reconsider when this is fixed. --MichaelMaggs 08:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I added an approximative geocode of the street where it happened 40 years ago. Of course, the place has changed a lot in the meantime.--Szilas 09:41, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Satisfies all the criteria. --MichaelMaggs 09:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Question So, you actually took this photo back in 1968 in Helsinki (according to the source)? And you speak many languages, but not Finnish. Excuse me for my scepticism, but could you enlighten me a little about the story behind this image? --

  •  Comment I am an economist over 60 years old. I was in Finland as a student in the summer of '68 with AIESEC for summer work. I have the films of my photos of that summer with other - mostly terribly bad - pictures, if you are interested :-)) --Szilas 14:45, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
