Length of 1663 B (273 words) "readable prose size"; newness: created 12/22-12/23; hook of 115 characters; neutrality checked; all okay. Offline refs taken AGF. One cite is to a tabloid, but a backup offline cite is in place. The image is a problem though, as it's not out of copyright. Had to chuckle at "unanticipated coronary occlusion". Aren't they all, lol? . — Sctechlaw (talk) 12:34, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
- Seems Oz's copyright rule is photographs at 50 yrs and see the companion rule. The statute governs date of publication for photos, rather than date of death of the author. If it were the date of death, however, the photo should still be out of copyright because photographer died more than 50 yrs ago. As the photo was taken 76 years ago, it is likely out of copyright, so I'm not sure what prompted the folks at Wikimedia commons to tag it the way they did. — Sctechlaw (talk) 13:26, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
- I asked an admin to look into the image status. — Sctechlaw (talk) 03:21, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
