Reason: It's very high quality, even if a large number of fine scratches made it a nightmare to restore.

We do have an FP of him, File:T Roosevelt.jpg but it's barely used anymore, and I'd say that, while the restoration is fine, this is simply a better photo. Don't think we need to delist the old one, but I leave that up to others to decide after this passes.

Articles in which this image appears: Theodore Roosevelt + like 30 more, more if you count the 3x4 crop (used because it better goes along side the terrible image we have of his vice-president in a few articles on elections; Did check, didn't find a better image for Alton B. Parker, so it's probably best to cater a bit. Compare [1] [2])

Comment – At the time of this comment, this image does not appear on the Theodore Roosevelt article. Another editor is trying to reinstate a different version, which is black and white, and cropped. --Wow (talk) 11:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ech. Just because someone didn't document their changes and passed off a desaturated version as an original is no reason to use it. In any case, it's stable in every other article. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 14:49, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
