Comment I like it and it is valuable. I find the white specks on especially the dark blue clothes of Carl Bosch somewhat distracting. I wonder what the origin of these small defects is? This would be improvable with a small digital restoration I think. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:51, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Conditional oppose No color-space metadata and no embedded color profile: Windows and Mac web browsers treat colors randomly. Will remove opposition if that is fixed. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:19, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I agree with Slaunger. But I'm assuming the white specks are imperfections that exist in the painting itself. This is a valuable historical document, especially since some of these men were major perpetrators of genocide. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:02, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Question Re: "since some of these men were major perpetrators of genocide" - who exactly? --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:51, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Any of the ones who continued to work for the company during the Nazi years, considering that they manufactured Zyklon B, which was used in Nazi gas chambers after they figured out it was a technical improvement over carbon monoxide. See this section of the Wikipedia article and following. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Actually, I'm wrong. I just looked up these names, specifically. A number of them were Jews and some of the rest were opposed to the Nazis. It appears that none were major perpetrators, with one possible but attenuated exception: This is from the de.wikipedia article about Dr. Kalle, put through Google Translate: "During World War II he betrayed Zyklon B -Developments within the IG Farben about Erwin Respondek to the United States. He was therefore at the Nuremberg trials not charged." Sorry for talking out of turn here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:07, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - In spite of my jumping to erroneous conclusions before, this is still a very historically significant company, thereby making this painting an important document. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:09, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        Yes, the document is significant, that's why I'll give my Support for its nomination. And as for jumping to conclusions, well, history tends to be a treacherous mistress at times. No biggie. ;-) "IG Farben" and "Nazis" set almost classic traps occasionally... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:50, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
