It needed 570 entries per day, but how many was "low number of entries"?
The document includes figures for specific months but does not average them, with 614 in 10/75, 487 pre-fire in 3/76, 390 in 10/77 and 270 in 10/80. I am not sure what you would suggest I do here.--

@
Epicgenius: (and @
The Rambling Man: who looked at the GA review recently) has anyone considered the copyright status of
File:Jackson Av art vc.jpg, which is used in the article? I always forget exactly what's allowed and what isn't, but as a photograph of a piece of artwork, which is presumably itself under copyright, shouldn't this be prohibited for use in the article? Cheers —

Thanks. Also, I don't think the "freedom of panorama" thing applies to renditions of 2D images, assuming that this artwork is actually 2D. I can't just go to my local art gallery and take a picture of a copyrighted artwork for use on Commons, can I? Even though taking a picture of architecture or a sculpture would be allowed in the UK. —
