University of Michigan Law Library Interior edit

Built between 1924 and 1933 the four original buildings comprising the Cook Law Quadrangle at the University of Michigan were constructed using funds donated by William Cook, an alumnus of the school.The National Jurist magazine has ranked the University of Michigan Law Library fourth out of a total of 183 law school libraries in the nation. [1] The Library's original quarters have been augmented by an extensive addition that has received architectural awards for its creative use of underground space.

Reason: I feel that the image is an accurate and striking example of the Interior of the University of Michigan Law Library, it would be hard to understand the feel of the Library unless you can see it.

Oppose, the camera's timestamp kinda kills it, sorry. :/ --Golbez 13:37, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Now that the timestamp has been cropped, I can look at the merits of the picture, and I agree with the below. Maybe if it was centered in the library, and maybe looking a little up to catch more of the architecture... --Golbez 22:56, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Idea do not worry, I do not take it personally think we could crop it? Max 13:42, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice library, but the noise level is just way too high for me.-DMCer 16:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Also, not very interesting, all I see is a dark library. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 19:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I can't find any reference to parts of the Law Library being underground and winning architectural awards. Is that somewhere in one of the articles? If not, it counts as an unsourced fact. If so, does this picture show underground bits? If so, where? Enuja 01:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose In my opinion the technical quality of the photograph is not that good (quite noisy). --New t on2 12:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
