Talk:Adela Maddison

Image
As promised, I've combed the archives to which I have access. The good news is that I've found a public domain picture of Mrs M. The bad news is that it's dreadful – a newspaper print from 1917 with about three dots to the inch. I've attacked it with Photoshop and Paintshop Pro, but with no discernible improvement. I have not felt justified in inserting it into your article, and I leave you to decide whether a frightful image is better or worse than none. Tim riley (talk) 10:56, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Eek! Thanks for all your effort but I agree, it wouldn't be an enhancement! -- Aegoceras (talk) 12:36, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks Ssilvers, but even at 150px this would probably still be the worst image anywhere on WP! (hey maybe there's some sort of wiki award for that though). Seriously I don't think the reader would really get much out of seeing it! -- Aegoceras (talk) 21:55, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * This book has a photo of her published in 1910 that would be a good alternative - search for her name, take a screenshot, voila! Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:45, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks Calliopejen1, the image is originally 1910 but at this link comes from a recent book on google books. Would this not be copyvio of either the book author or google books? My grasp of the legal principles here is pretty shaky, can you confirm it would be OK? --Aegoceras (talk) 23:15, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
