Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/JFK inaugural address

Original – John F. Kennedy being sworn in as president of the United States and delivering his inaugural address, 1961.

Reason: Inaugural speech of American president John F. Kennedy in 1961. Given the passage of six decades, the event and speech is now more a part of history as opposed to contemporary politics. It's a notable marking point in American history. This nom was proposed a month ago by User:GamerPro64 [1], but since they didn't act on it, I am nominating it. I will convert the file format to WebM once this nom gets a few supports.

will support HD version. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:57, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Iconic. I wonder, though, if there is a higher-resolution file available? This is only pretty fuzzy SD quality, while you can get Full-HD and even more from a 16 mm original film... If such a file is found, I'd support. --Janke | Talk 17:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is an HD version Here. It is not published by the Kennedy Library though, but by the Kennedy Center. And it has a border, an opening and a closing (attribution) frame. Bammesk (talk) 02:55, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It would be entirely possible to extract the movie frame without borders, and insert it into the FPC video. That couldn't be a copyvio, right? (Apparently, the first sentence was lost in the video, as in the Kennedy Center video?). --Janke | Talk 13:23, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We can extract it and upload it as a separate file. Since the SD version is public domain, the HD version must be public domain too. A higher resolution scan doesn't justify new copyright, as far as I know. The last frame of the HD video credits the Kennedy Library as the source, so the HD scan was done by the Kennedy Library.

I'd suggest a new nomination, though, given how close to closing this is. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600^th FP!} 15:55, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It's better to do a new nomination later. Bammesk (talk) 01:53, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
