  •  Support I did not know anything about the scope when I began the review, but I have (now) read the Wikipedia article, and I understood that it is a place of great historical interest for the American Civil War. So the scope is OK. So is the geocoding, image page and categorization. Concerning competition from other images I thought for a while about the comparative value of this historic photo: Image:Bennett Place.jpg, which is probably the original house from 1904 (and not a (careful) reconstruction). I think that is a high value image as well and strictly speaking more "original". However, it is my impression from looking at the details of the reconstruction that the nominated image is a quite genuine representation of the place as it was when the negotiations took place and I therefore find it better at illustrating the scope as compared to the original photo. There are other recent photos from this location, but I agree that the nominated image is the best there. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:53, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
