Tamarack Miners

Miners in Copper Country

Original "sepia"-toned version

Here's an interesting image that caught my eye. I really like how the miners are stacked up in a pyramid that matches the pile of rocks. This is a scan of a very old photo and I cleaned up a lot of dust/hair/scratches and what looked like a fold in the original print. It's used in Copper Country.

• Nominate and support. - howcheng {chat} 06:56, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Support - wow. some pictures shouldn't even have to wait through the 2 week process. the look on the kids faces in the front are just gut wrenching. the life of toil that awaits them as reflected in the expressions of the older guys...this is a really remarkable photo. --Deglr6328 07:19, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. It surely is a nice picture. Yet is does not help the article it is in too much. When reading that article I would rather need a map showing the location of Copper County - not this historical picture that itself needs some explanation. I would change my vote if a better use for this good picture showed up. Mikeo 08:08, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • It needs to be put to better use.--Deglr6328 08:51, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
    • How about Mining, Child labour, coal, for instance? Strong Support. —Vanderdecken∴∫ξφ 11:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
      • It's actually copper mining, not coal. howcheng {chat} 16:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
        • Well copper then. —Vanderdecken∴∫ξφ 17:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Support Powerfull image. I do prefer however the original sepia photo that's on the source webpage --Fir0002 www 08:55, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Support Beautifully illustrates the article. Yes a map would be good in the article but thats not what we're judging - Adrian Pingstone 11:17, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Support reasonable nominations keep emerging:)--K.C. Tang 14:50, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: For reference, I've uploaded the "original" (cleaned-up) version. I don't think it's sepia-toned per se, just yellow which is probably how the original print is. howcheng {chat} 16:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Support. I prefer the yellowed version but would still support the B+W one. |→ Spaully°τ 16:46, 11 April 2006 (GMT)

• Support. Prefer second, provided it gets placed in some articles. Loooove the background. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 06:06, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: The yellow version is still in the revision history of the original pic, so if that version is the one that gets promoted, then I'll revert it and it will automagically be the articles. howcheng {chat} 06:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Support yellow version. Great picture either way ~ Veledan • Talk 12:25, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
