Images tagged for deletion[edit]

The following images have been tagged for deletion, at first on grounds that their descriptions do not show their source URLs. At least 5 of these appear in this list-article.

  1. Image:JohnColtraneHouse.png
  2. Image:MtPleasantFairmountPk.jpg
  3. Image:PhilaSchoolofDesign.jpg
  4. Image:RaceStMeetinghouse.jpg
  5. Image:USSBecuna.jpg
  6. Image:Cliveden-mansion.png
  7. Image:Stenton-mansion.png
  8. Image:St-James-the-Less-Church.png
  9. Image:PennaAcademyofFineArts.png
 10. Image:Woodford-mansion.png
 11. Image:Wyck.png

The first 5 are probably copied from NHL webpages, and if locations are provided then there is a further issue that they are probably in violation of copyright. Not all images on NPS webpages are public domain. These images were tagged as being taken by a NPS employee but that is not documented. The NPS also uses photos taken by others, and those are not public domain. The uploader has been notified. If others wish to address these problems by providing URLs, please do. Otherwise they will be deleted. Personally, I feel conflicted about proceeding with this, as I have also worked on this article and it is my wish also for the article to be well illustrated, but this is where i am at in discussion with the uploader on his talk page. No hard feelings intended. doncram (talk) 00:41, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Better Photos needed?[edit]

I think that some of the photos here could be better. I'm using the list form and the geogroup template so that I can track them down better. If you agree with me that a photo could be improved - please let me know with a comment in the table. If you don't agree, a comment might also be appropriate, or if you strongly disagree, maybe just remove the entry. Smallbones (talk) 19:05, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, so they're black and white and old, but at least they're professional, well lighted, and nicely composed.--BillFlis (talk) 09:54, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Most are, but I'm more concerned that they don't fit well in the 100-pix-wide form. The problem with black and white - the whole table looks dull - should get better as we replace a few of the old pix. Smallbones (talk) 03:59, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
