 * ... that Die Freundin (pictured), a German lesbian magazine published from 1924 to 1933, was temporarily shut down by the Weimar government?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Created on day nominated, long enough, well-cited throughout, copyvio check finds none, interesting referenced hook. Ready to go. However, image lacks US public domain tag. Moonraker (talk) 05:31, 23 February 2012 (UTC)


 * It is a 1928 image, and is in PD in EU. -- Supernova Explosion   Talk  18:39, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The DYK rule on images says nothing about requiring a US public domain license. Commons licensing policy says this: "Commons is an international project, but its servers are located in the U.S., and its content should be maximally reusable. Uploads of non-U.S. works are normally allowed only if the work is either in the public domain or covered by a valid free license in both the U.S. and the country of origin of the work. The "country of origin" of a work is generally the country where the work was first published... if a person in the UK uploads a picture that has been saved off a French website to the Commons server, the upload must be covered by UK, French and US copyright law. For a photograph to be acceptable for upload to Commons, it must be public domain in France, the UK and the US, or there must be an acceptable copyright license for the photograph that covers the UK, US and France." So although the DYK rules don't require a US PD license, it seems to me the image needs to comply with Commons policy if it's coming to the main page from Commons. If it's not possible to do that, putting the DYK spotlight on the image could lead to problems for it - and it's a good image which lifts the article no end.

 * Hmm, I see. Then it should be a non-lead hook. -- Supernova Explosion   Talk  01:31, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
