The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: The references include several references to the same book, just changing the pages. The usual way is to list the book only once in a general "Bibliography" section, and make each reference in the style "Holt, p. X" (X being the page number). But that's minor cleanup for later, not an actual problem that should halt the DYK process. Cambalachero (talk) 16:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Any reason we shouldn't upload some or all of the CIA page images here?

@Dumelow: and anyone else with an opinion: The CIA page https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/the-mystery-of-jane-wallis-burrell-the-first-cia-officer-to-die-in-the-agencys-service/ is covered with photos of the subject. The CIA web site site policies page, https://www.cia.gov/site-policies/ under Copyright says "Unless a copyright is indicated, information on our website is in the public domain and may be reproduced, published or otherwise used without our permission. We request only that our Agency be cited as the source of the information and that any photo credits or bylines be similarly credited to the photographer or author or our Agency, as appropriate." I don't see copyright indicated on any of those photos. Any reason we shouldn't upload most or all of these images to Commons and then put them in this article? --GRuban (talk) 16:02, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
