Strong Oppose, suggest speed close...again. As I pointed out at your last nomination we have already featured a picture of Pedro II which is of much better quality and has effectively the same EV as the ones you are nominating. This one, like the last, does not meet the resolution requirements and is damaged beyond all hope of restoration. I understand that you are apparently passionate about the topic but I suggest you look through out galleries to understand what we expect for historical images and then try and utilize the featured picture which is already available since you have not been able to find an alternative.

Oppose per Cowtowner. I would've opposed anyway. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 19:33, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not nearly as good as the current FP of Pedro II. Is there a high resolution scan of a painting of him in his coronation robes or in full uniform? We could feature that... Indefatigable2 (talk) 21:09, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
