[edit] Photo

I don't want to be rude but the photo of Golda Meir School on the upper right corner is too ugly for this article, featureing a chimney, fire escape and garbage dumps. It is just not suitable for National Historic Landmark.

Akkie.. I plan to take a better frontal photo at some point. Please do not remove article photos just because you do not like them... the present image at least details points discussed in the article. The image you uploaded appears to be copyvio [1] and improperly licensed. Regards 72.131.44.247 18:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I made a point of going out and taking another photo of the building, with the garbage bin being less prominent in the frame. Fire escapes are part of the building and are found on both faces. The "front" of the school is obscured by trees and a terraced playground with fence, and is not as picturesque as one might imagine. I might try for that angle some day when I find myself in the area on a weekend (no school) before noon (sun). 72.131.44.247 05:17, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Please don't interpret this as being rude. Even though the new photo looks better, it is still ugly. Trees are good for pictures. A builing without trees looks boring. I think a frontal photo is better. And you can take the photo at a higher place to make it look better. Akkie 15:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

The photo depicts reality and allows readers to see the building with its architectural features. I'll try to take a photo from an angle you like more at some point, but I don't usually find myself driving around in the morning with a camera. You are welcome to add an additional whimsical image to the article (I never removed the one you had – merely added mine back), so long as it is properly licensed/attributed and conforms to Wikipedia's copyright policy. The image you uploaded fails these points and its fair use in the article is dubious. My personal observation is that it is a low-quality low-resolution gif whose transparencies are inconsistent with the background color used on the page. 72.131.44.247 20:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
