Comment Spire is a little too close to the top edge. Could you create some more sky? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 13:03, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- I will do that this weekend. Thanks for your feedback --Wilfredor (talk) 12:14, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- Wait a second. KoH, you want a historical photo altered by adding fake sky to it? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:38, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- The original clearly had tears at the top, so some fake sky has already been added. Since this is a print, I wouldn't be surprised if the original negative had a bit more on all sides. We don't want to change the original artistic intent of the photographer, but there likely was more at the top when they took the photo. I don't need a lot, just a tiny hair more at the top. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:44, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- Is there any way we can see the negative? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:19, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Question How can this photo be a QI (nominated by Wilfredor and promoted by Ermell) when the original was not made by a Commons photographer? I don't recall seeing other restorations at QIC. --Cart (talk) 09:37, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment There have been. Just as a reproduction of a painting can be a QI if the reproduction is done by a Commoner, so can a scan (restored or not) of a historic photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:15, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- I understand that a photo or scan of a painting or old photo made by a Commoner can be a QI, but here the scan was made by the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs division and not Wilfredor, if I'm reading the source right. --Cart (talk) 19:16, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- If that's the case, it shouldn't be a QI. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:23, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- I think we should allow QIs as long as a Commoner has done significant work. The goal is to reward effort by community members, and Wilfredor has clearly spent way more time on this image than most people spend on their self-photographed QIs. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:27, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
