  • Oppose it fails to show either the complete campanile or the statue, plus the building is suffering from extreme perspective distortion which is undesirable in an encyclopedic architectural shot. Mfield (talk) 21:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose It really doesn't contribute anything to the article; no where else in the article does it mention the campanile or Salmon, and the pic itself has been inserted into a section that has nothing to do with the picture. It is a nice pic of a building on campus, but that's about it. the perspective problems and the cropped building also detract from its EV, per Mfield's comment. sorry.
