Talk:Lillian Boyer

Photographs

The photograph link is currently broken because I needed to remove the photo that I uploaded to the Wiki Commons, as it was not public domain. I have permission to use a set of photo images I received from The Henry Ford, which does not control copyright for the photos, but is just an owner of copies of them (probably some of the only extant copies at that).

As most of the photos were taken prior to 1923, they are likely in the public domain. To be safe, I think it's best to upload them to Wikipedia as non-free/fair use, not to Wiki Commons. I plan to do this soon, so stay tuned. SteveChervitzTrutane (talk) 18:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Photograph deletion and recovery

Six images of Lillian Boyer performing aerial stunts that were originally in this article were removed in October 2009 on the basis of overuse of non-free content per WP:NFCC#3 and #8. I recently re-added one of these image to the article. The single image should not violate the overuse policy. Additionally, the image itself is an important, irreplaceable historical artifact, and the use of it (and the other five images) in Wikipedia was specifically granted upon my request by The Henry Ford. Showing a photo of her performing a stunt makes the article significantly more compelling, IMHO. Cheers. SteveChervitzTrutane (talk) 08:38, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
