Question - How'd Diego end up with 2 mb for such a large file? I think there may be something wrong here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:07, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You mean Poco poco? (is Diego the - creator?) Hafspajen (talk) 01:23, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Poco's real name is Diego (as stated on the file page). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:48, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I'm not sure? It looks good and seems to work the way it's supposed, as far as I can tell, but I'm not an expert – what could be wrong, here? Yakikaki (talk) 16:12, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

High levels of compression lead to jpeg artefacts, which are fortunately not too bad here (you can see them at 300%, but barely at 100%). Support barring something terrible being discovered. We need more sculptures. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:19, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks good at full size for me and the angle is excellent. Brandmeister^talk 08:38, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support — Historical EV — interesting that the Soviets apparently didn't have the nerve to tear it down. Sca (talk) 18:09, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment — If it passes nomination, one idea is to have it featured on 1 Janurary, as Latvia on that day takes over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. (I work with EU stuff every day so to me the thought seems natural, but to a normal person perhaps it seems far-fetched?) Yakikaki (talk) 16:45, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be willing to schedule it. Adam's Auld Lang Syne could be for 31 Dec. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:33, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that's why I instantly felt at home here! :) Yakikaki (talk) 17:02, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - OK, for Old Latvias's sake. Let's make them happy- Hafspajen (talk) 17:17, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Latvia, per se, really isn't all that old, comparatively. See Livonia.
OTOH, there's an asteroid named Latvia that's millions of years old. Sca (talk) 23:58, 29 October 2014 (UTC) [reply]

_{Auld Lang Latvias I meant Scatzi, good old Latvia. Hafspajen (talk) 04:17, 30 October 2014 (UTC)}[reply]
