[edit] Photo of St. Jude

The photo of St. Judes on this page is being claimed fair use. However the justification on the fair use tag being used states that the image is only fair use "in the absence of free images that could serve such a purpose". It should be a relatively easy task for a wikipedian in the Memphis area to go and get a photo of the hospital. JeremyA 00:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

• Well, it's not as easy as you think. The angle that photo was taken from indicates that it was taken from the top of a crane or other large structure. St. Jude is a massive complex, and it would difficult if not impossible (aside from renting some large machinery) to get a picture even remotely approaching the quality of the one currently in the article. - Jersyko·talk 00:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I believe the "other large structure" is a building that is located next to the Grizzly House (the short-term patient housing facility.) So I don't think it is that difficult to get that picture, although I don't know how accessible that particular building is. —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 10:32, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Good point, though the angle won't be quite as good. In any event, a new picture could at least remedy the horrible resolution problem the current picture has. I don't know if the Grizzly House is accessible or not. - Jersyko·talk 13:35, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
      • The Grizzly House is not going to have an accessible location other than a patient room, but no matter, because the building I'm referring to would block the view. —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 16:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

You don't need to get the exact same view for a replacement photo. Any photo that would serve the same purpose would do. If I still lived in Memphis I'd go and take one myself. JeremyA 23:51, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

If I lived in Memphis I'd go myself, but it's pretty far to go from San Diego.  :-) —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 01:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
