Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Ataturk introducing hat

Ataturk introducing the western style hat to Turkey during the reforms era. (c. 1930)

Comments:

A case for enc. can also be made for the ataturk article itself, although there are better photos of the man himself there. However, the scan's got pretty severe artifacting, even on the main subject itself. Moreover, there doesn't seem to be much room for downsampling (Also, whether from the scanner or from the original photo, there are some spots around the chin and shirtfront). I'm not so sure anymore about the FPC consensus on compression artifacts, but I suspect that while minor artifacts can be forgiven under other mitigating circumstances, serious artifacting that extends to the actual subject will make an FP promotion very difficult. --Malachirality (talk) 02:56, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
