Why the Raphael picture is likely to continue to be used
Wikipedia isn't about what is "true," but verifiable: Cite sources because original research is not accepted. Neither picture can be verified to truely look like Hypatia, but there is no verification that the ancient picture represents her, while it is verified that the Raphael picture is accepted as representing Hypatia (as shown by the contents of the ). If you can find a reliable source to cite (with ) that say that the ancient picture is indeed supposed to represent Hypatia, then it probably would be used instead.

You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Welcome
Hello, and let me also extend a welcome to you (doesn't matter we jumped right into a disagreement, that happens all the time on Wikipedia :-). I'd just like to make you aware of one important rule of this place: in the spirit of consensus editing, it's considered bad form to repeatedly undo other people's edits, and we have the three-reverts rule to prevent so-called edit wars. It seems you re-inserted the image three times now, which means you'd be breaking the rule if you continued to do so. That said, I do hope you'll stay around and enjoy editing here.
