| Do you remember anything about the copyright of that specific image? Its currently on dr at commons - see ], and I was hoping you might remember something about its source. ] 22:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : Yes - it was actually a press release snapshot photograph from an NIH function. It appears that NIH has deleted the source ohot from its site. The award was part of an otherwise very busy picture, but the shot was head-on so I could cut out all the extraneous people, etc. To cover some of the jagged lines from the edit, I added a drop shadow - which look as if it has been badly cropped by some other Wiki editor. - ] 16:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :: (Sorry to pop in, I have your talk on watchlist from a previous message I left you) Do you by chance remember the source page? Not necessarily the exact URL, which would be impractical, but perhaps whether the image was on a press release or some other type of page, and any other details like the date (or year) of the NIH function? Thanks, ] 17:26, 1 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::: I do know the original URL: http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/NR/rdonlyres/F52F097F-B37C-4B74-80FB-8321BDA72953/0/student2.jpg - the "NR" behind ".gov/" is for news releases. But it appears they redesigned the site when they added RSS fees a few months ago. I do not remember the year, but it was more than 2 years ago. Once that happened, the obvious nature of its "public domain"-ness disappeared and then it was nominated for deletion. - ] 20:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC) | |||

| I'm considering putting ] up for peer review and possible GA status. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it? I've just gone through it and done some cleanup work and think that everything except the criticism section is looking pretty good. Criticism needs some more content, though. Any other thoughts?

| : Well, it couldn't hurt - and the page has gotten much better than it was when it started. Even if it doesn't pass, you will get good critical observations from a fresh perspective. I think the biggest struggle you are going to have is with ] since neither GA nor Peer Review like long lists due to their poor prose. They will suggest that it be re-written in paragraph form. I have the scars of former GA and Peer Review efforts myself to know that one. ;-) - ] 21:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC) | |||
