Edith Granger Photo
Thanks for your message. I noticed what your website says. But I also note that there is no valid copyright on the image, as something that was published prior to to January 1, 1926 in the United States. My understanding is therefore that no-one (including the Smith College Archives) has any right to restrict how it may be used. Do you know any other reason why it may not be used? I may be wrong. Copyright law is complicated, and it may depend on how you define "Published". A class book is published, is it not? -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 12:18, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

The image is the possession of the Archives. I am trying to respect the Archives and their terms. I don't understand why you continue to want to change the image from the one I added which is allowable under copyright.

Also I don't think you should assume the class book is considered "published" under what you understand of copyright law. I am a librarian that works with licensing and copyright so I wish you would respect my professional opinion and the terms of the Smith College Archives. I was simply trying to correct details in this entry that some person started and also respect materials and copyright of an archives. If you feel the need to change it again, I can't stop you and I don't have much interest in returning to this entry. I hope that someone who wants actual information and research on Edith Granger will just find my website. Audramelissa (talk) 14:36, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * If you believe the criteria used for Wikipedia hosting the image is invalid, you can challenge it here. It can then be assessed by someone with a better understanding of Wikipedia policy and relevant laws.  Edit warring over its inclusion will not get it removed and may only result in your editing privileges being removed.  Thanks. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 15:59, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
