•  Info created by Emile Bayard - uploaded by Coat of Many Colours - nominated by Coat of Many Colours -- A 9MP file from the current exhibition at the State Library of Melbourne, Victoria. The original manuscript is on display as well, those of you Old Worlders fancy hopping across the pond. Likely to be the best Cosette we will have for a while.

•  Oppose Needs a serious restoration to became FP, IMO. This is "just" (no offense) a passive copy.--Jebulon (talk) 21:00, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

•  Comment I don't share your opinion. The guidelines for artworks simply says the reproduction should be of high quality, as this plainly is. They do also say that a certain amount of extra manipulation to remove flaws is permissible (they don't say it's mandatory), but I can't see any obvious flaws that do need manipulation. Naturally users and re-publishers can do any such manipulations they feel they need on their own account. As for the sort of restoration you envisage, I think you are setting the bar much too high. It would mean me flying thousand of miles to gain access to the original and indulge the kind of attention to detail applied by the original engraver. You may not mean to give offence, but you have and I am withdrawing an offer of work I made here in protest. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 23:36, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

That seems quite confusing to me. I do not see a connection between the personal opinion of Jebulon, who has without doubt contributed many good restaurations, and the WLM project. I don't understand your intention, but certainly you are not going to achieve much by actions like this. --DXR (talk) 05:16, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
