 * B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
 * Bit of a problem, this one. I have identified one portrait of Stovin - a print held by the National Portrait Gallery - and that hasn't been digitised. The ODNB contains no picture (and doesn't even mention the NPG one, unusually); the Imperial War Museum collection doesn't have anything. It's possible the regimental museum of the Royal Ulster Rifles might have a portrait in a cupboard somewhere, but that's a bit more effort than I can practically go to!
 * We could use something purely decorative, I suppose, but we'd definitely want free content for that; I didn't see any decent pictures of the associated regiments (there's one of a junior officer of the 52nd, which would work, but it's very low-quality), but perhaps something like this for one of the associated honours?

 * Nothing on Google Image? Unlikely I admit, but definitely worth trying. I'm not much interested in an image of one of his honours; I'd prefer the man or nothing at all.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:33, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing I could see. I agree with you that the tangential images don't help much; I'd be just about happy with a picture of his home or something, but that doesn't seem to have been anywhere too interesting. Shimgray | talk | 11:55, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:
