Oppose It is only a grave. --Jacopo86 21:00, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and it is cut at the top. --Dschwen 21:12, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as it's just a picture of a grave. --Abu badali 13:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is not just a picture of a grave and agreed it may not be thee most Earth shattering picture to judge but there is such a thing as sensitivity and no, it is Not 'only' a grave- this is part of history and part of someone's life. If a relative of yours or your child were to be drowned in an act of terrorism and her body washed ashore and a whole city saw to giving her a final resting place.....think if it would 'only be a grave to you. This picture has some historical significance and interest for those who questioned what happened to the passengers of the ill-fated Lusitania when the German's sank her. Anjela White

Sorry, all sensitivity aside, we are judging pictures here, not touching stories of human tragedy. And as a picture this doesn't cut it for me. Furthermore I could imagine pictures with a lot more historical significance than this snapshot, like original photos, drawings, newspaper snippets. --Dschwen 21:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My 'bone of contention' was not with you Dschwenand I'd agree its cut off. Requiescat in Pace. Anjela White

Oppose poorly executed --Artefacto 22:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support I thought it was a poor image, but after reading the text i fond it so deeply touching in its historical setting and added my vote. Photos have to express feelings, non only technique --Jollyroger 10:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you...Anjela White

Oppose --it is plain made. LadyofHats 18:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Photos have to make sense in the wikimedia. But they also have to fulfill the standards. This one is badly cut and the motife is not placed well. Akriesch 13:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
