  • Support. Interesting, encyclopedic, and attractive. We have a bunch of these, but that's a reason for me to support rather than oppose - they're all of FP quality. Mostlyharmless ( talk) 23:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Support good -- George Chernilevsky talk 15:48, 15 February 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Support alt version -- Avenue ( talk) 20:39, 15 February 2010 (UTC) reply
  • I have to oppose currently. There is heavy compression artifacts all around the land masses, which is especially unacceptable when there is a 21600x10800 TIFF available (the crop of South America at full resolution turns out to be about 3500x4800). I'll take a crack at using the software listed to create a new image. Jujutacular  T ·  C 05:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC) reply
I made an enquiry to User:Davepape who has done a FP of Antarctica. He kindly generated an image of South America for us. I think you'll find it to be of much higher quality. I support ALT. Jujutacular  T ·  C 17:05, 20 February 2010 (UTC) reply
