"Oh the Humanity" - Emotional live radio (audio) broadcast

Reason: Surprising that there is no FP yet on the famous Hindemburg zeppelin. I think all these 3 choioces can be considered as featured media candidates: the grainy burnign airship, the high res when alnded, and the famous "Oh the Humanity" live radio broadcast of the disaster

Support Original Also, its not for lacking of trying that there are no hindenburg shots at FP status here, as I did my part some years back, it just fell short. TomStar81 (Talk) 10:27, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - There is also a copyright-free movie of the explosion, including the "humanity" broadcast as soundtrack on archive.org. I'd support that rather than just the sound. --Janke | Talk 13:34, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wellll... Archive.org - and search for Hindeburg explosion - second from top... ;-) --Janke | Talk 08:18, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - image is too small, it's well below the minimum requirements. Mattximus (talk) 19:16, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Last time I read the rules it was 1k. Anywaus, "well below" to you means 20% under? Nergaal (talk) 17:41, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone comment on the relationship between the resolution requirements for photos and the size of the original photograph? The first image is a recognizable historic photograph which has irreplaceable cultural significance. By insisting on a 1500 pixel size, does that mean that if some archivist had access to the original photograph, a higher-quality archival image could be created to meet requirements here? If the digital reproduction is poor, then I understand that. If this digital reproduction is the best that anyone might expect, then that gives me pause.

Yes, one could take the original, scan it at a higher resolution, and save it with less compression. The version nominated was compressed a lot (only 200kb) and it shows. Banding and jpeg artefacting in the image. Crisco 1492 mobile (talk)

[1] from [2] looks fairly viable, though it's probably a bit too dark. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 01:05, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
