•  Info Oral polio vaccine added to sugar cubes, Germany 1967. Created by Jens Gathmann - uploaded by BArchBot courtesy of German Federal Archive image grant - nominated by InfantGorilla
•  Support I was delighted when I saw this image: it is a very powerful piece of documentary history of the 1960s: contemporary with a mass worldwide campaign with a live oral vaccine that is no longer used in developed countries. The narrow depth of field and the composition drew my eye naturally to the action. It is only 0.4 megapixels, which seems to me appropriate given the limited detail communicated, and what appear to be artefacts (small white blotches) introduced by developing or storage. I think the resolution and defects are mitigated by the historical value. -- InfantGorilla (talk) 06:39, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: the resolution is below 2MP. /Daniel78 (talk) 21:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

•  Comment The image resolution is far too small for FP. However, as it is a photo of historical significance, why don't you nominate it for Valued Images? --JalalV (talk) 04:03, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Thanks, will do. Meanwhile, I suggest that using the 'FPX' template to guillotine discussion of 'strong mitigating reasons' for featuring low resolution images (to quote the nomination instructions) will create a bias against historic photography in Picture of the Day. --InfantGorilla (talk) 09:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
    • Seconded. Should I mention pictures from the Bundesarchiv cannot meet the requirements because they are not free, and will never be until falling within Public Domain? →Diti the penguin — 17:03, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
