Cleopatra bust at the Archaeological Museum of Cherchel, Algeria[edit]

Hello! Sorry to intrude or take up any of your time, but I have an extraordinary request that you may be interested in. It's not every day that I make extraordinary requests, but this is an extraordinary situation that I hope you might be able to address, being a Wikipedia editor from Algeria. I might visit Algeria one day, but I'm not going to wind up in the country any time soon. I was wondering if you would be interested, at any point in the future if you have any spare time, in visiting the Archaeological Museum of Cherchell, Algeria to photograph the bust of Cleopatra VII of Ptolemaic Egypt (also possibly a bust of her daughter Cleopatra Selene II, wife of Juba II of Mauretania). There are no available public domain or other suitably licensed images of this bust found at Wikimedia Commons or anywhere online that I have seen. All images of it online that I have seen are copyrighted and under non-commercial licenses, unfortunately, so I cannot upload them to Wikimedia Commons. If you would take a photo of this obscure bust and upload it to Wikimedia Commons under a public domain or suitable commercial license, it would be a great boon for Wikipedia!

Cléopâtre Séléné II[edit]

Hello PericlesofAthens,

Presently I’m not in Algeria and I won’t be visiting Cherchell soon alas, but I keep your request in my mind.

If you don’t mind my advising: You may find some pics if you search on the web in French: "Cléopâtre Séléné II". Passing.Stranger (talk) 07:29, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip! In the meantime, another guy from Algeria has actually agreed to take the photo, but only after he celebrates Ramadan with his family. ;) Pericles of AthensTalk 04:47, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
