- Oppose, as it stands, the image is only used in a gallery in the section of the Nazi party rally grounds article discussing the Congress Hall and sits pretty uselessly in the Documentation Center article (it gives no sense of where the center is in the building). As well, looking that the picture one would easily get the impression that the building is a round Coliseum-type structure as opposed to the open-ended horseshoe that it is. As such I think it's a poor depiction. Cowtowner (talk) 18:58, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose per Cowtowner. --WingtipvorteX PTT ∅ 18:19, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose As Cowtowner said, this angle doesn't give a full idea of the shape of the building. It's a good illustration and a very nice photo, but is best understood in conjunction with other sources or photographs rather than on its own. This kind of building is very difficult to get a representative picture of from ground level. The best pictures I've seen of theatres and amphitheatres are from an elevated position. It can be done, but that may be quite difficult. Nev1 (talk) 15:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
