  • Comment Could you explain the EV a bit better. What is the importance of Xu Guangqi in particular? JJ Harrison ( talk) 02:21, 30 April 2013 (UTC) reply

  • Comment / Conditional Support Do you think that the lower right hand corner is a result of the paper not lying flat (or paper shrinkage from drying out, or the like), or is that just how it is in the original? If the consensus is this is original, consider this a support. Also, should we remove the large stain, or adjust the somewhat odd colouration, or?
I'm honestly not sure how best to treat this one. =) Adam Cuerden ( talk) 11:12, 2 May 2013 (UTC) reply
