  • Hook verified online, article ready, QPQ good, image good; character count of the article confirmed at 1948 by DYKcheck! -- Rcej (Robert)talk 07:27, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
  • I'm a little concerned by the image's licensing. For starters, there is no United States public domain tag and it claims the author died 70 years ago yet doesn't provide what year this was? Indeed my own brief research has not given me any results into the date of her death, so there's reasonable doubt it's not public domain. I raised the issues at Commons:Commons:Village pump/Copyright#Can't find out when the author died. In the meantime, anyone is free to promote this without the image or to find the year of the author's death. I think the picture is great as a lead hook, however!

"This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1923." The image was published in 1911 and I think the date of the author's death is not relevant here. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:40, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
I added that after my comment. There still remains issues over whether it should be moved to Wikipedia, but so long as the file name stays the same it shouldn't interrupt anything. It's Commons problem now. The image is ready to be used. Jolly Ω Janner 07:55, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
