• Article is new and over 12kb long. It's an interesting biography. Citations are throughout, everything appears to be written neutrally and clicking through some of the referencing everything seems fine. All hook facts are cited inline, no personal preference (though as a Jew Looks like you should nominate this for WP:GA. Unfortunately I don't think the image qualifies for DYK because it's using an Indian tag but it was published in the New York Times. Got a QPQ. Article approved, image is not. Well done. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:43, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

  Thank you @Muboshgu:...the image should be free in US as taken before 1941. I don't know how to adjust it. Whispyhistory (talk) 04:49, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

• PD-US requires it to be before 1927. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:01, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

• I have some of her before 1927... will see how clear they are. Whispyhistory (talk) 05:03, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

• Images before 1930 are not very clear in the book I have, so leave it. Not sure about GA....will try and improve a bit. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:27, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

• Excellent article, and GA wouldn't be difficult. For what I am concerned in the image is taken from a The New York Times article. So it technically was published in 2017, even if the image was created in 1935. Do we have any other evidence that it was published 'published prior to 1 January 1962'? – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 14:03, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

• Thanks @Kavyansh.Singh:... The image is from 1935, her marriage, confirmed in her husband's autobiography, in which there are other photos but not this actual one. It might be in some old newspapers...they were worried that one day the marriage might not be recognised so publicised it in several newspapers according to her husband. The NYT caption says 1935.Whispyhistory (talk) 15:20, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

• • @Kavyansh.Singh, any updates here? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 16:57, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron, sorry for the late reply. My editing these days is bit limited due to off-Wikipedia commitments. My concern here remains that we still can't verify when and where was this image "published", regardless of when this was created. The publishing date needs to be in compliance with the commons licence, regardless the date of creation. Else, I see no issues running this hook without the image. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 17:29, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
