Great Hall - Parliament of Australia.
Voting period ends on 26 Feb 2012 at 11:47:25 (UTC)
 * Reason:Beyond the chambers, this room is probably the most important internal feature of parliament house. Central is the tapestry, an enlarged version of Arthur Boyd's painting. Important features in the tapestry are the Sulfur-crested Cockatoo and Halley's Comet (annotated on commons).

 * This page may help to flesh out some EV (captions, image page, articles...). --jjron (talk) 14:48, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Was having a hard time figuring out how to reference the size of the room and tapestry, then I saw the piano in the lower right hand corner. Wow. That's a really big room. Clegs (talk) 10:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Question The reflections from the floor make it difficult for me to figure out what's happening at the doors. Is that a table in front of the doors? Maybe a more explanatory caption would help. Pinetalk 10:00, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Parliament_House,_Canberra may help. Behind the doors is, IIRC, and to paraphrase, 'the Members' Hall, an area restricted to security-classified occupants of the building, and linking onto the Ministerial Wing, housing the office suites of the Prime Minister and government Ministers'. Therefore it's largely an extra minor security measure I'd think; the public can wander around the Great Hall, but that is a pretty clear indication that it's a no-go zone beyond there. --jjron (talk) 12:37, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, can you address this in the caption? Noting the scale in the caption would help also, per Elekhh's comment below. Pinetalk 08:30, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak support nice quality but agree that the scale is a bit confusing. The scale becomes more apparent when filled with people. It could be improved if the caption would indicate the dimensions of the room (the tapestry in the back is 20x9m) and that the view is from the upper level. -- ELEKHHT 21:59, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 *  Weak support: Admittedly a huge room and a good shot. However, I agree with Elekhh that the scale is easier to see from a higher angle. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:56, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * On second thought, the piano should be good enough. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:59, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak Support Per above comments. Dusty777 (talk) 17:04, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I expanded article captions, but I can't find any dimensions of the room itself. The tapestry and piano give a sense of scale though. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:25, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
