Comment: An indentical "uncropped" version is already at File:The Buccaneers of America 9.jpg. mabdul 20:37, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware there was another image for Braziliano. I've gone ahead and placed the image on both the Roche Braziliano and List of pirates. Is there an image to replace Image:Captainjohncoxon.gif as well? If it's a period illustration I can't imagine why it wouldn't be in the public domain. 71.184.38.227 (talk) 08:29, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. How do I withdraw this request? Can I remove it from the page myself or do I need to wait for an administrator?
