I think this is not one of Capa's photos. See this page http://www.skylighters.org/photos/robertcapa.html Ydorb 03:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, obviously confusion exists here world-wide. I checked Corbis and they list the photographer as CPhoM. Robert F. Sargent. (I believe CPhoM is a ranking, Combat Photographers Mate?) If you do a google search of "CPhoM Robert F. Sargent" you will see dozens of sites selling posters of this photograph. It is also listed here http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-cp/history/h_normandy.html as an official USCG photograph. Ydorb 17:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the New York Times has an article [3] from August 27, 1999. Photography Review; An American Century, Through the Government's Lens. They say this, "As for history, the show offers some textbook facts . . . the D-Day landing (best known from Robert Capa's pictures but here in Robert F. Sargent's photograph for the Coast Guard)".

Picture Deleted?[edit]

It just says no file with this name exists, and I can't find a link to IFD or anything. Did it get moved to commons or something? I find it odd that a featured picture would just disappear. Several articles still link here so if there's another version the links need to be changed. --Aqua 06:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to the deletion log, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Image:NormandyLST.jpeg, it was deleted by User:Naconkantari. I posted a message on the talk page requesting an explanation. Ydorb 00:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From what I gathered looking at other featured pictures that got moved to commons, it seems that we should change all the links to the one on commons and have this one redeleted. --Aqua 08:45, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It should be the responsibility of the person doing the move to first make sure that the many pages that link to it will keep on working. Deleting a PD image that is linked from many articles without fixing the links first is just plain wrong --- Safemariner 14:14, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
