Photo[edit]

I don't want to be rude but the photo of Golda Meir School on the upper right corner is too ugly for this article, featureing a chimney, fire escape and garbage dumps. It is just not suitable for National Historic Landmark.

Akkie.. I plan to take a better frontal photo at some point. Please do not remove article photos just because you do not like them... the present image at least details points discussed in the article. The image you uploaded appears to be copyvio [1] and improperly licensed. Regards 72.131.44.247 18:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I made a point of going out and taking another photo of the building, with the garbage bin being less prominent in the frame. Fire escapes are part of the building and are found on both faces. The "front" of the school is obscured by trees and a terraced playground with fence, and is not as picturesque as one might imagine. I might try for that angle some day when I find myself in the area on a weekend (no school) before noon (sun). 72.131.44.247 05:17, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't interpret this as being rude. Even though the new photo looks better, it is still ugly. Trees are good for pictures. A builing without trees looks boring. I think a frontal photo is better. And you can take the photo at a higher place to make it look better. Akkie 15:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The photo depicts reality and allows readers to see the building with its architectural features. I'll try to take a photo from an angle you like more at some point, but I don't usually find myself driving around in the morning with a camera. You are welcome to add an additional whimsical image to the article (I never removed the one you had – merely added mine back), so long as it is properly licensed/attributed and conforms to Wikipedia's copyright policy. The image you uploaded fails these points and its fair use in the article is dubious. My personal observation is that it is a low-quality low-resolution gif whose transparencies are inconsistent with the background color used on the page. 72.131.44.247 20:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Gms.jpg[edit]

Image:Gms.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

There was a nice photo that accompanied this article... it was taken specifically for Wikipedia, but a dick admin decided to delete it with out discussion. 184.58.245.87 (talk) 07:57, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I know it's years later, but if it's the photo @Maxpaul18: took, it was deleted on the rationale that no source was given. WhisperToMe (talk) 08:12, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

sourcing / refimprove / new informal info for article[edit]

A non-logged in user just added, apparently in good faith, some informal text without sourcing. A source is needed for any information, so it would be justified if another editor removed the added info. However, other paragraphs in the same section and elsewhere also do not have in-line citations. Adding in-line citations would improve the article; a guideline i have heard is that there should be one at the end of each paragraph, at least.

To the non-logged in user, thanks for contributing. But can you point us to a website URL or an offline document that can be used as the source for any/all of this information? Added info (which probably otherwise will be removed from article):

A fairly unknown jewish school in the Milwaukee district, this school has been around for a while. TIt is not as populated as the largest Jewish school in the Milwaukee area which is called the Milwaukee Jewish Day School (M.J.D.S.) The school isn't as populated as M.J.D.S., but it is a great alternative to M.J.D.S.
