Removal of photograph

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

A long time ago I added the AI enhanced portrait of William Campbell listed on Wikimedia as File:William Campbell (Medal of Honor).jpg. I have removed it today for two reasons. Firstly AI enhancement seems odd for an encyclopedia entry and perhaps a bit disingenuous. Secondly, the source CMOHS, specifically his page here at https://www.cmohs.org/recipients/william-campbell-1, no longer uses the photo in question. I can find it neither there nor on FindAGrave leading me to question its authenticity. Any discussion or objections on this matter is appreciated.

As per the reference desk discussion, the photo is of a different William Campbell: William Campbell (Medal of Honor, 1840). 136.54.106.120 (talk) 20:26, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
