Original – Map of the Battle of the Somme, considered one of the deadliest in history and probably the best-known battle of the First World War.
Reason
Another map to SVG conversion. Good source, straightforward EV, has a certain aesthetic quality as well. SVG format, so no size issues. I couldn't help this really being one of those maps where you can see only the general characteristics in thumbnail - the front lines are as bold as I thought possible without dominating the zoomed in version. Previous nomination (here) received two supports (plus me) and no opposes. Some changes were considered but I didn't feel anything needed to be changed.

  • Support - Solid work. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:09, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Good work. To nitpick, the word "RESERVE" overlaps the box for RESERVE GOUGH, but I know how awkward SVG can be for this. (Hohum @) 16:17, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose The map seems very simplistic and is not at all a Feature Image in my view.--Mark Just ask! WER TEA DR/N 20:34, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
