Oppose. It's an interesting and valuable document, but as an image it doesn't grab me much at all. In contrast to, e.g., the WWII instruments of surrender, this is almost completely a product of the mediating technology (pasted together at the receiving end in a standard way) rather than an intentional visual composition.--ragesoss (talk) 14:18, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Per ragesoss. Also, adding on, only medium quality, not one of your best until improved, Durova. --Meld shal 00:04, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
