•  Support Important on its own, & the added bonus of Frederick Douglass's name listed in the meeting prospectus (3rd down in 1st column) is really great too. Daphne Lantier 08:00, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment Although I think the work may be worthy of FP status, I think this nomination may be a little bit rushed with regards to our file page for the work. I will do some more research on the work to find its true author (it was certainly not the printing place) and adapt the caption which has been copied verbatim from the auction page (not appropriate copyright wise). For others' reference, I found this work in OhioLink and a somewhat similar reproduction(?) on Library of Congress. Could the hunt continue still for a higher resolution, or is this version from the auction website sufficient? Seb26 (talk) 14:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

   Support now, I continued some of the above points on File talk:Men of Color Civil War Recruitment Broadside 1863.png. Seb26 (talk) 14:46, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

•  Question - Wouldn't it be better for us to wait for resolution of these problems before featuring this broadside? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:21, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

• I initially thought so, and I did think it was poor that it was nominated with attribution given to the printer's press. But in the state that the file page is in now, after my changes with a proper author according to a reference and a more appropriate description, I believe it is good to go. As for the resolution issue: the OhioLink version I mentioned above... the resolution appears to be slightly lower, and the scan (to me) looks of lower quality, it is not quite as focused and sharp as our current version. (It sort of goes against what I am used to expecting...that libraries and commons have higher resolution works than random online websites, but alas the physical broadside itself is being sold privately so it follows.) What are others' thoughts? Seb26 (talk) 18:07, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

• If it's clear the broadside was composed by Frederick Douglass, that's great, and I certainly  Support featuring this important historical document. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:26, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
