OriginalMarie Curie, c. 1920, photographed by Henri Manuel
Reason
Portrait of Marie Curie, a pioneer in radioactivity, first female Nobel Prize winner, discoverer of radium and polonium. See her article for details. The image needs a bit more restoration, to remove small dots and artifacts, which I will do if the nom gets a few supports.

  • Comment A few dust spots and a horizontal scratch (w. 3 white spots in hair at 1 o-clock) need to be addressed. When done, I'd Support. --Janke | Talk 19:23, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I noted in the reason section above that I will do additional restoration if/when the nom gets a few supports. I take your comment as a conditional support. Bammesk (talk) 19:34, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • It looks like a decent image, but it's hard for me to support a restoration "on spec". Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 13:23, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, I will do more restoration and clean it up. Zooming in at say 400% there are lots of small spots and dots that can be cleaned up. I should have it in a day or so. (I didn't/don't want to spend the time if someone has a legitimate oppose rationale) Bammesk (talk) 17:37, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Support: There's some whitish "clouds" in the lower half of the image that I'd have probably edited out, but it might be some artistic effect. Certainly better than any other Curie image I can find online. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 16:34, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
