[edit] Roof sculpture

For the person who wrote that Columbia Square had a "snake-like" white ladder on its roof, you have the wrong facility. It was Columbia Square's Sunset Blvd. neighbor, Metromedia Square/Fox Television Center that had that ladder. The ladder was called "Starsteps". The preceding unsigned comment was added by ShawnHill (talk • contribs) 12:36, 18 July 2005.

I've deleted the scupture info once again, and I even found where the misinformation came from (see [1]). I've tried to verify the Viacom/LAUSD info, but haven't been able to find anything. If it can't be verified, I am deleting it. BlankVerse 12:16, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sale of Property

The article says the property was sold to the Los Angeles Unified School district in 2010, Um... correct me if I'm wrong but the year 2010 hasn't even happened yet, Did you maybe mean that the property was sold and will be taken over in 2010? Because as the article stands right now it doesn't make sense because 2010 is still in the future. Misterrick 14:11, 04 August 2005 (UTC).

That info was added by a editor who has been doing a very confusing mixture of good and bad edits. I was going to try one more time to try to verify the info, but if you want to just go ahead and delete it you may. BlankVerse 13:30, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requested photo

It shouldn't be too hard to get a modern photo of this building comparable to the postcard. Mike Dillon 03:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I swung by there today and grabbed a couple photos. Minnaert 20:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Columbia square.jpg

Image:Columbia square.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
