[edit] Image Usage

Hey there. The article's text twice mentions the stark whiteness of the building, contrasted with Rome's more typical earthy tones, but the image on the article is a 'sunset' or 'sunrise' image, with the light a reddish orange.

I'm thinking of swapping back the image I placed here earlier:

...which has the building in it's correct color. Any opinions? -- User:RyanFreisling @ 15:27, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• Image:VittorioMonument.jpg is more accurate, w/o the sunset tones —Dogears 03:05, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
• Agreed. --Thorsen 09:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV?

This article seems quite POV, the article describes the building such as it stands out like a sore thumb. Any thoughts on how to make this more NPOV? Kreca 01:44, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Kreca - can you explain a bit more what you mean? Are you saying you think the article assumes a negative view of the monument, rather than describing the varying views of Romans towards it? -- User:RyanFreisling @ 04:18, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Precisley, maybe this is how many feels, but there are no citations to the "nick names" and the text gives no insight to the other side of the argument. Also by reading the article I dont get what it is used for today, is the building not in use anymore? Kreca 13:39, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
