 * Comment - I admit that I just added this photo to Hollywood Sign. It replaced a much lower quality image and I expect it will remain there for a long time (unless of course a higher quality image comes in to replace it). That said, I know some will not like this, but in all fairness, the image has already been featured in Los Angeles, California, Southern California, and United States. These articles are by definition more encyclopedic than Hollywood Sign, so this image has its EV and has met the time requirement in more encyclopedic articles. I added it to Hollywood Sign because it obviously belongs there, but it doesn't add much EV in all honesty. So please !vote on its previous EV in the other articles and consider its addition to Hollywood Sign supplemental. Thanks! ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 21:19, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Y casts a shadow on W. H is blocked by some bushes. The earlier image in the Hollywood sign infobox (File:Hollywoodsign (1).jpg) does not have these problems (but occupies a very small portion of the img), so a better quality photo of the sign from that prospective (angle) can be created.-- Redtigerxyz Talk 16:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I noticed that the filename of this image seems to be the default from the camera. The picture would be more useful, and easily found, if the filename were changed to be descriptive.   Sophus Bie  (talk) 22:53, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
