Please cut and paste new entries to the bottom of this page, creating a new monthly archive (by closing date) when necessary.

• For promoted entries, add '''Promoted Example.ogg''' --~~~~ to the bottom of the entry, replacing Example.ogg with the file that was promoted.
• For entries not promoted, add '''Not promoted''' --~~~~ to the bottom of the entry.
• For entries demoted, add '''Demoted Example.ogg''' --~~~~ to the bottom of the entry.

Use variants as appropriate, e.g. with a large set of files, all of which pass, '''Promoted all''' is fine, but if one of them didn't pass for some reason, make sure that's clear.

• Support per nom. upstateNYer 03:41, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

God! That's where I recognize this from. That movie about Vietnam. What was it called?   Nezzadar ☎   15:13, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Based on a quick google search I'm going to guess Apocalypse Now :) Jujutacular ^T · C 03:12, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, it's Apocalypse Now. My favorite film of all time. Staxringold _talk^contribs 06:01, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Support although the seemingly "whistle sound" at 6 sec is tiny a bit distracting, this is a 100 old sound of Wagner's famous work.--Caspian blue 04:07, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support but note that Ride of the Valkyries currently has the sound 2 times listed. Staxringold _talk^contribs 06:03, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose Either we need a good performance or a historic one by a famous orchestra. This is neither. There should be some good material available for such a famous piece. Has anyone looked? Berlin Phil? Furtwängler? --Kleinzach 01:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Do you imagine that there is the slightest likelihood that the Berlin Philharmonic or DGG would grant public domain for a recent recording? Get serious. Edison (talk) 04:22, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted Richard Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries.ogg –blurpeace ^(talk) 04:27, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We need a Woodrow Wilson sound, and this gets right at it with an interesting sound that has been stable in article space for a while (though I've restored it). Staxringold _talk^contribs 00:42, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Nominate and support. Staxringold _talk^contribs 00:42, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per the technical issue; the noise seems like a result from transferring sound to computer with a wire. Unless this distracting noise is reduced, my vote would remain here.--Caspian blue 02:42, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose The original file [1] is free of the weird artifacts introduced by the "restoration." I would support the original file without the odd sounds introduced in the background. Edison (talk) 04:12, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose Too strong on the dehiss. ThemFromSpace 10:11, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
