Clinton and Jiang[edit]

Jiang Zemin and Bill Clinton.

Articles: Bill Clinton, People's Republic of China , Jiang Zemin , Sino-American relations , and 1996 U.S. campaign finance scandal.

This very dramatic picture has a lot of personality to it. On the one side is the serious looking Clinton addressing the audience, while the other side shows the pervading smile of Jiang. Behind the two leaders are the flags of their perspective countries standing in line as a symbol of cooperation and friendship. This amazing picture captures the emergence of a peaceful China as a key player in global affairs; seeking the friendship of countries around the world. The picture is in the public domain because it is a work of the United States federal Government.

  • Oppose Too low res. For the record i think you set up your nomination wrong. I've fixed it for you though. --Fir0002 www 23:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The resolution is much too small. -- PS2pcGAMER (talk) 23:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. So far, it seems much of the problem stems from the resolution. As I'm not so good at photo editing, maybe someone talented in this area might feel obliged to improve the picture and nominate it in place of the present picture? That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.--Ryz05 23:43, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Its not possible to 'improve' that picture to featured picture quality without a much higher resolution original source image. Photo editors can't create detail that isn't there in an image. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 00:45, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, no source or verifiable copyright information, in addition to size and quality problems.--nixie 02:10, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Definitely too small. Also, if its Government copyright, a verifiable source should be given. --Janke | Talk 07:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Hopelessly too small - Adrian Pingstone 20:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose copyright issues, and I don't think the image is particularly striking or informative. - Mgm|(talk) 11:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
