Potential changes and a copyright issue

There is a screenshot of the film that was uploaded as "Own Work" author Paramount Pictures, user"@Jamesfranklingresham" but that user name does not exist when hovered over. While it is possible Paramount Pictures uploaded the picture themselves it is questionable, and the user has no proof they are Paramount Pictures. Furthermore the screenshot was uploaded Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported. The film is approximately 95 years old, so it may be in the public domain and should be listed as such (more so the image for rules purposes) if it is. Otherwise, unless if the user is indeed Paramount pictures it violates Wikipedia rules (it is arguably fair use but fair use images are not allowed on Wikipedia). More simply, if the image is public domain it should be listed as such, if it is not it may be breaking copyright law, or Wikipedia rules.

Additionally, with the information on the top right, there is 0 citations.

"including most importantly the insertion of a happy ending.[2]" most importantly implies that is the most important change which is subjective and biased.

All the links in the citations work, though there are two paywalls, one a book, the other a magazine so checking them is problematic. — ~~~~ Publicduck (talk) 19:04, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
