Hey, I noticed you removed an image {{diff2|1233963747|here}} on the grounds that it wasn't PD. However, my understanding is that it was published in 1907. Account to [[copyright law in the United States]], that's PD (95 years or older). It appears to have the wrong PD tag on the Commons, but maybe I'm missing something.

:Kusma pointed out [[Talk:Historia Divae Monacellae/GA1|here]] that Pogany died in 1955, making it just ''barely'' out of PD in the UK - it's PD in the US, but not where it was originally published, as far as i know. <span style="color:#618A3D">...

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|voorts}} with 530 points, mostly from two FAs ([[Well he would, wouldn't he?]] and [[Cora Agnes Benneson]]) and three GAs;
* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}} with 523 points, mostly from 11 GAs about coinage and history;

If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs. As a reminder, competitors are strictly prohibited from [[WP:GAME|gaming Wikipedia policies or processes]] to receive more points.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Melangell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Ingleby. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
