Apollo 11 in popular culture[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 4 Aug 2015 at 04:34:52 (UTC)

Original – The front page of The Washington Post on July 21st, 1969, and an interested reader.
Reason
An illustration of popular interest in Apollo 11 which is the lede image for the relevant Wikipedia article. The photo itself has an interesting story. User:CarolSpears User:Rufus330Ci says, "This is a picture of my mother holding the Washington News Paper on Monday, July 21st 1969 stating 'The Eagle Has Landed. Two Men Walk on the Moon'. The photo was taken by my grandfather." The picture is already featured on Commons.
(Comment) Purely for the record, it seems that the person saying "This is a picture of my mother ..." was not User:CarolSpears but User:Rufus330Ci. See the original upload here. 86.183.128.190 (talk) 20:41, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I don't suffer from copyright paranoia, just wonder whether The Washington Post here is copyrighted and as such might be a derivative work. Brandmeistertalk 07:34, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • What part of that paper is copyrighted would probably be de minimis. Both images are PD-NASA, and the text of the article is illegible even at full resolution. The logo is PD-Text... only thing left is the headlines, and that's definitely de minimis. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:38, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • (Appears the same arguments were put forth here) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:41, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Great image. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:38, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Cool capture – from the last days in which newspapers still contained news. (The old journalist in me asks, should we could we identify the subject? Name would lend authenticity.) Sca (talk) 14:40, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose Looks a bit too posed and stilted for my taste... --87.92.20.53 (talk) 17:06, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Per the FPC rules, "anonymous votes are generally disregarded" and "only [users] who have been on Wikipedia for 25 days and with at least 100 edits will be included in the numerical count." As such, I have stricken your !vote. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:01, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, but also note that good-faith comments from IPs are welcome even if they cannot vote. I think that one IP commentator eventually converted to a registered user awhile back after a series of good interactions with the community here. (: --Pine✉ 02:36, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hence why the comments were not stricken out. Comments are fine. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:47, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oops, it was me! I didn't realize I wasn't logged in. My Weak Oppose stands. --Janke | Talk 06:25, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Captivating and evocative image. 109.153.226.6 (talk) 19:29, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Yes, the girl did tilt the paper, but if she hadn't you wouldn't be able to tell what she was reading. And it's not like she's pretending to read it, she seems interested. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 20:01, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
She looks like she just got outta bed, or maybe she just had her Fruit Loops – posed perhaps, but doesn't look stilted to me. Sca (talk) 21:48, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Historically relevent image, and one I've seen on many occasions and love. gazhiley 09:34, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
