  • Support - a great photo of an impressive, key feature of the P of V. Amazingly the photo is devoid of C21st tourists, while the sunlight streaming across the floor cleverly decribes the windows. It is currently used in three articles and it absolutely fundamental for describing Hall of Mirrors (Palace of Versailles) and Palace of Versailles (recently added).

  • Support The room was undergoing restoration when I visited it in 2003 and I couldn't see what the fuss was about it. Now I do: great work. Nick-D (talk) 11:42, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Poor lighting (overcast day with some lights on would look a lot better). It is tilted too (going by the chandeliers and background pillars). JJ Harrison (talk) 22:50, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I can see the tilt but I think the lighting situation serves to show off the room, which was clearly designed with it in mind. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 14:42, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
