Some monthes ago I tried to get this image through FPC and it failed, mainly due to my inability to locate and upload a higher resolution version; however it has come to my attention that this new version is higher resolution and better quality. I therefore renominate this image for FP status. I wish to thank
User:Pharos for finding and uploading this new version. This nomination is as much mine as it is his.

Comment, I could have sworn this was up for FPC before... maybe on commons?

Yup, a lower quality version was nominated
here, as explained by the nominator above. :) --

Support Very sharp scan. Historic and encyclopedic.

Support Flawless scan, assuming that the speckles are halftoning artifacts present in the original poster. The poster could not be more iconic or significant, and deserves to be a FP all the way.

Comment - It's funny that nobody mentioned the fact that this kind of gesture is considered rough (or even obscene) in some countries. I would never considerer the possibility of hanging such a picture in my office! -

Good point...but it's not like she's directing it towards the viewer.
JumpingcheeseCont@ct 08:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)reply
Bwah ha! I never considered that! She's rolling up her sleeve, of course, the universal symbol of Getting Down to Business. Just a slight change in her fingers and it's a different gesture. Perhaps that's what the artist intended; "I'm gonna build a plane, a ship, and put THIS up Hitler's butt!" --

Not really relevant here though unless it got picked up by a secondary sources, in which case it can be worked into the caption. What's more relevant here is that this is not Rosie the Riveter at all.
This is the actual Rosie the Riveter. ~

Ya'll gotta learn to take life in broad strokes and umbrella terms, otherwise you'll miss out on lots of life's simpler things. In this case I am using Rosie the Riveter in a broad sense to include most/all of the women who replaced men in the factories. Under this definition the painting does indeed show "a" Rosie, even though it may not actually be "the" Rosie.

Don't worry about me missing out on the simpler things in life, "Rosie's" non-Rosie-ness is just something that should be noted in the caption. ~
trialsanderrors 04:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)reply
I'm confused. Is Rosie a real person (as noted in the article) or a cultural icon? Was the
pic what coined the term or is it an illustration of the "Rosie the Riveter" icon.
