Madzimbamuto, 1969

... that South African nurse Stella Madzimbamuto (pictured) filed an appeal in 1968 with the British Privy Council which resulted in the Rhodesian government being declared illegal? Source: "In consequence, the usurping government in Rhodesia is not a lawful government, and all its acts and decrees are invalid." p 95

SusunW, the hook statement in the article does not have a direct citation. The source you cite here says p95. The source most closely following the statement says p93. I've inserted, but check my work.

I do not think this image is free use -- it says it's from 1969? We can't use a non-free image on the main page. Can we clarify the status of this image? valereee (talk) 20:24, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

without image, which I believe is not free use. Note to promoter: Request is for March 8th for International Women's Day. valereee (talk) 20:27, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

valereee Thank you so much! Photo is definitely freely distributable. Comes from this. Paged through the entire magazine and there is no copyright notice anywhere. Checking the Catalogue of Copyright Entries, the only registrations for something called Lamp are for a journal published by Standard Oil and another by Rosenthal and Smythe. The one with the photo is published by the Friars of the Atonement, Graymoor, Garrison, NY. Public Domain information is that works published in the US between 1927 and 1977 without a copyright notice are in the "public domain due to failure to comply with required formalities". But, I don't care if it has a photo or not for DYK as long as it appears on March 8th. Your citation is fine. Thanks for catching that. SusunW (talk) 21:08, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
