  • File deleted at my request, was a user submitted photograph not covered by UCB's CC arrangement (only staff images). Also, even staff images are for noncommercial use only. Photograph was by "Kimberly", whose email was - correct me if I'm wrong - not given, so I'm doubtful of the possibility that permission can still be obtained. Links are [2] for the image and [3] for the copyright status. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 ( talk) 21:19, 18 March 2012 (UTC) reply
