Image needs replacement[edit]

Hello all... The image used in the article's infobox, specifically Image:1839 Lyman Home.JPG, has a little bit of a licensing issue. The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive. It is presumed that the uploaded was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard. As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article. If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best. You have your mission, take your camera and start clicking.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 00:08, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Image[edit]

The most recent image in Wikipedia Commons depicting Downers Grove's full Main Street business district was taken on Thanksgiving 2022. Editor @Magnolia677 has raised concerns that the photograph is "awkward" and presents too many people standing in the street (?) However, this photo was taken during an annual community event, The Bonfield Express, which has taken place on Thanksgiving morning in Downers Grove for over 20 years. If any other editors have concerns over the use of this photo in the infobox section of the article, please reference them in the talk page. Or if anyone can provide a better, more recent photo of the Downers Grove streetscape, that would be much obliged. However, due to the fact that this IS the most recently added image to Wikipedia Commons depicting the business district, I believe it is the best image for the infobox until a different one is obtained.rs 2600:1008:B164:C9E1:F4B1:70FF:FE70:A3E9 (talk) 23:03, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
