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.
I don't think I need to explain why I'm nominating this, other than out of surprise that it hasn't been already. Its encyclopedic and historical value is obviously immense, and it meets all criteria.

Support - It is public domain, so there are no
IP issues. On the garbage sound system built into my notebook computer at work, Dr. King's speech is easily intelligible. "Its encyclopedic and historical value is obviously immense" is no exaggeration. NYCRuss☎17:34, 4 May 2010 (UTC)reply
Question: - I thought the speech is copyrighted by the King's family. The article
I Have a Dream states that the speech can be used under fair use only until 2038. Even though University of California released its recording into the Public Domain, the speech itself is not free yet. So, can we promote sound with such a copyright status? --

Thanks for that, the file has been replaced (and I re-fixed the couple patches of static I fixed in the original as well). This one also has a much crisper opening, the old recording had a weird piece of static.

Support A good recording of the president reaction to an important event.
