  • Support Very nicely done; good colors, good stitch. Clegs (talk) 18:20, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support It strikes me as odd that this is receiving even less attention than a very poor pano of Montréal above - maybe it needs to be in North America? Also please note, this is already an FP on commons. Schcambo (talk) 19:23, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support, meets all the criteria but the caption should be improved by saying that it's in Paris. That may sound trivial, but too many people are horrible at basic geography.--Svetovid (talk) 22:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. It's not clear to me from the caption which of these buildings are the library. Also, I always have copyright concerns when we're dealing with photographs of contemporary French architecture-- have these been considered and resolved? (I know the photo is tagged as PD, but there are special concerns under French copyright law when what is depicted is a recent architectural work). Spikebrennan (talk) 03:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Question. So all the buildings in this picture are part of the French National Library? That's the only conclusion I can draw from the captions and image page; if so it's remarkably big. --jjron (talk) 06:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
