Reason
Compared with other portraits of Union officers, this has an inexcusable amount of shadow on the right side. The article on the general has opted for a different version of this image,
File:William-Tecumseh-Sherman.jpg, which has a significant reduction of that shadow, and that image has displaced this version in all but one article.
It may very well have been within the standards a half decade ago when it was promoted, although even the this should not have passed, I think.

Delist, but looking at the
original nomination, I'm not sure this should have passed. I count three votes for the
other picture, two for this one, and one for either. Should we reconsider the other? It's in use, could use a cleanup.

Delist Suggest that the other picture be renominated. It's probably beyond the point where it can just be promoted outright but the other image should go up for another nomination with the note that it probably deserved to be nominated in the first place.

Delist. I would support nomination of secondary photo if it were cleaned up. --

I'm not sure. I think that the first image was selected because it encapsulates the man's (apparent) ruggedness better. Either way, it's contingent on
Adam Cuerden or another restorer spending some time on it, as the alternate image is a bit beat up right now.

I propose to do
this image if no-one objects. It has major benefits in accessibility, and could easily, post-restoration, have crop made to give a very similar effect to the former FP. @

For what it's worth I support this one. It's a great picture, the current FP doesn't do it justice.
