Photograph request

Hello, Hasteur. I found your username on the Dallas County photographers page. The Ebola virus outbreak in the United States page, now averaging 25,000 views per day, could use a picture of the Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. If possible, could you stop by the hospital and take a picture, from the same location as this one? It would be much appreciated by the thousands of editors and readers alike. There is no risk of contracting Ebola from taking this photograph :) BlueAg09 (Talk) 22:58, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

@BlueAg09: does it need to be the same view? Hasteur (talk) 23:52, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Doesn't have to be the same view, but as long as the emergency room and Texas Health Presbyterian sign are showing. Daytime shot would be ideal. BlueAg09 (Talk) 23:54, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

It's sunset right now and I'm almost there. Will try right now. Hasteur (talk) 23:57, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

@BlueAg09: they have the emergency wing cordoned off. I'll upload once I get home and let you decide if you want to keep it. This hospital is the same one as "Dallas Memorial" in the old Dallas tv series. As a resident of the area I can verify it. If a better pic is needed I'll try Sunday when I'm around agai.

@BlueAg09: Yeah, even I'm embarrased at the picture. [1] It's far too grainy/ugly and taken on my camera phone. I'll go back Sunday and get a daytime photo. Hasteur (talk) 00:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

Thank you for the image for Ebola virus cases in the United States. Well done. SW3 5DL (talk) 03:16, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

• Bearian Thank you for that completely useless comment. I didn't challenge is notability, I challenged the lack of verifiable information from independent reliable sources. All the sources are the college he is the regent of (which has a vested interest in making him notable), Colleges he's guest taught at (which has a vested interest in making him notable) or his political campaign (which has a vested interest in making him notable).

Thank you. As my students would say, you made me LOL. I'll see what I can do to fix the issue that you've identified. Bearian (talk) 17:27, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Note

I'm not going to get involved in that case mess, but I will say that I created the page as a matter of clerking. As far as the enforcement page is concerned, that was created at the behest of Dreadstar, an enforcing administrator, mirroring a similar page used for the Obama GS.
