1. This one I can rescan if needed. --Jarekt 03:00, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
2. This one I can rescan if needed too. --Jarekt 03:00, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
3. Darwin Online scan
4. Lousy looking scan, historically somewhat notable photograph, oldest photo of a North American Indian. Both subjectPeter Jones and photographersDavid Octavius Hill &Robert Adamson are of historical note. I'm not hoping for a silk purse from this sow's ear, but every bit helps.Image:PeterJonesByHillDavidsonInEuropeanStyleDress.jpg would probably serve as a good alternate. Thanks,Wily 21:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
5. A beautiful poster with the Declaration of Independence of the USA, dated 1819. Unfortunately, the paper has stains and it's ragged on edges. Some details of the upper part of the engraving are missing entirely. --Alex:D (talk) 23:24, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
6. A detailed historical map of Great Falls from 1891. I'm not sure what is best for restorations, but I saved it as a grayscaled PNG file.JalalV (talk) 04:34, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
7. An absolutely beautiful panoramic drawing of Yellowstone National Park. I originally mistook it for a HDR image. Needs some cleaning and I'm not sure whether that white bit on the top right is supposed to be there. I had a go at it myself, but the results were...less than optimal. I plan on nominatingthe whole set a some point, after I clean up the other 3, which aren't in as bad shape.Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 07:16, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
8. After the amazingFile:Operation Crossroads Baker Edit.jpg which depicts a conventional nuclear test, this photograph shows the explosion cloud created by Ivy Mike, one of the first Hydrogen Bombs. The picture is (obviously) of high historic significance and has a great scan quality with high resolution. However, there are many scratches and dust specks which should be removed.Overall, I believe this photo is important enough to warrant your attention as a restoration expert. I'd really love to see it patched up and subsequentially Featured, both on Commons and Wikipedia. Regards, 22:15, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
9. May I ask for a restoration ofthis? I think that we need a good portrait for FDR if possible. Thank you for your heavy work, Durova :) Best regardsRastrojo(D•ES) 17:37, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
10. Hello, could you take look at this photo ofLaurance Olivier. I already used it inhis article in Turkish WP and I think it is a nice FP candidate (at least in Turkish WP). But cleanness is a little bit of a problem. Do you think it can be cleaned? I hope, you can give me a hand on this. BestcontactCoriolis ende (talk) 00:44, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
