  • Comment. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like this is upside down (I realise a gavel would technically probably have no up or down, but seems more logical to me to put the big whacking gavelling thing at the top in a photo). --jjron (talk) 10:31, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed. Someone reading the paper would likely sit where the bottom of the picture is, which would mean they would place the gavel with its head up. That might not be as good a picture though. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:08, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
