Talk:Mummy Cave

Comments for the GA reviewer
Just want to let you know — because this is a secluded location, getting a photograph of the site is likely to be very difficult. As you can see here, it's possible to get pictures of the site, but as one would have no real reason to photograph this site if one didn't know about its significance, finding a free picture will be extremely unlikely.

 * Not too sure about this but you might want to search WikiCommons for a public domain photo. In certain cases (if the permission meets WC's requisites), photos from Flickr can be used if moved to WC with the right permissions. Additionally some photos that are produced by the U.S. government (read geological services or park management) might qualify under a certain permission if they are commissioned or taken for government work. --Morenooso (talk) 00:05, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Problem is that I've searched and not found anything. The only images that I've found are (1) this one, copyrighted by the Wyoming state government, and (2) ones such as the link I gave above; while it's published by the NPS, I get the impression that the authors were not working for the NPS, so the work is likely under full copyright.

 * You would be surprised. I am trying to remember what which CA wikiproject RR article has a map image that is PD because it was commissioned by the CA state. It's been a while since I dealt with the CA WP in those terms and the image permissions may have changed. I just did an advanced search on Yahoo for PD images and none were available. Doing the same search only for websites that are dot gov yields dot gov search. It may be that one of those 50 plus sites has something. They also might be possible reliable source documents. --Morenooso (talk) 04:12, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I looked through plenty of sources; among other things, Wyoming doesn't release its images into the public domain. Nyttend (talk) 20:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Links dead?
Following most of the links will now lead you directly to a 404 page. What to do? --Kurt von Hammerstein (talk) 17:17, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I only saw two 404 errors: the NPS webpage and the first one from the Biffalo Buff Historical Center. The best answer is normally to find an archived edition, so I went to http://www.archive.org (the Internet Archive) and looked for both pages; it didn't have any older copies of the BBHC page, but it had the NPS page, so I replaced the URL.  I don't have any good suggestions for the BBHC page.  Note, however, that it's being used just once, and for a short fact; if you can find another reliable source (print or currently online) with the same information, you could just replace the old citation with the new one.

 * PS, I found a new link, an online version of a newspaper article mentioning the bit about Smith. Since it was originally published in print, and since I can construct the complete citation without a link, I didn't bother with an accessdate, but I did include a link to the digital edition (it's hosted by a large newspaper-hosting website, something that wouldn't have extensive holdings without permission, so WP:COPYLINK isn't an issue) for the sake of convenience.
