Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Japanese river boat 2

 
Original - Japanese sampan-type river boat. Painted photograph from Japan, dating from before 1886, according to a written note on the album containing the photographs. Presumed Author of the original photographs: Adolfo Farsari.
Reason
Old, original, being an example of a Japanese sampan-type boat as well as being a presumed photograph taken by Adolfo Farsari. It was previously declined (see Featured picture candidates/Japanese river boat) because of licensing issues, which have now been settled.

I'm not an expert on this subject, but I think this kind of floating-house kind of river boat is rare, at least in Japan. Mikael Häggström (talk) 15:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's ok for me to suspend it for a while. Or we make a new nomination once we have the cleaned version.Mikael Häggström (talk) 15:33, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]


For my part, I think it can just as well be placed in "nominations older than 7 days", since there is (yet) no change in the picture since the beginning of this nomination. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:21, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fug. Just close it or unsuspend it. It's in my to do list, and will get done when it gets done. I hate working with photos, so it's very for me to procrastinate on them. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 10:26, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suspended for another user to restore the image. Has yet to be done after good length of time. Now requests closure until said work can be completed, at which point a new nomination will take place ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 15:59, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
