The most successful US Navy captain of the American Revolution, and the only one daring enough to raid British home waters. From a high resolution etching made during Jones's lifetime after his victory at the
Battle of Flamborough Head. Restored version of
File:John Paul Jones.jpg.
Question: Though I'm having some technical issues viewing the original, are the black dots throughout the etching (for example the one when viewed top left, full-res) from the original...and what's your opinion on editing them out? If I'm being confusing I can upload a picture highlighting what I'm seeing. SpencerT♦C 02:08, 12 February 2009 (UTC)reply
I have uploaded a crop of a section (upper left) highlighting what I mean. My upload is rather jpeggy, and you may want to compare my upload with the nominated image. SpencerT♦C 02:20, 12 February 2009 (UTC)reply
Good eye. Could we suspend the nomination for a day or so while I attack that? :)

Another 24hrs is up (8 times over). Durova suggests "If it's not ready by then I'll start from scratch another time". Time to close...? --
