Photo in article intro

The existing photo is rather dark, and lacks detail in its imaging of the Memorial. Nevertheless, it is much better than nothing, and gives readers some idea of what the structure looks like.

Better photos, and details of the structure would be helpful for future article improvements. Reify-tech (talk) 19:24, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to User:Another Believer for a much clearer picture. A photo from a somewhat elevated position would better illustrate the 5-fingered plan of the memorial, as well as its vertical elevation. A vantage point from the second or third floor of one of the adjacent buildings might be useful. Reify-tech (talk) 22:58, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If and when additional photos of the Memorial are available, an image gallery can be set up to provide a clearer depiction of the complex forms and shape of the structure. Reify-tech (talk) 23:46, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hot cats

@KRhettn just made a category for Cambridge monuments, I came here to update the cat and found Another Believer had beat me to it, nice teamwork. Agreed about the value of an elevate photo; a fine challenge for the next on-campus editathon. – SJ + 04:31, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
