Please stop edit warring on this article. it is a featured Article and has to meet the criteria for such
 * Your restored comment about the swift is unsourced. It needs independent verifiable sources
 * Images must be correctly described. You claim Restored and color-corrected image author and copyright holder: RestoredPrints.com
 * If that is true, you need a link to the original image on the site so that we can verify that it says that the restored images are GFDL or public domain, since they are not just faithful photographic reproductions, as required by public domain licence ((PD-Art}}.
 * If the site is not claiming to own copyright despite the images having been restored, the images need to be described as public domain as the originals undoubtedly are - and still need a source.

 * The heading is incorrectly formatted, and the positioning of the images contravenes MoS. The fact that images exist, does not mean that they have to be used. The section appears to exist just to show the images.
 * The section lacks full formatted references - see the rest of the article


 * RestoredPrints.com says All restored images and this website are copyright. All rights reserved. The images are copyright, no wonder you didn't give a link. jimfbleak (talk) 07:28, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Also As a result of the vast amount of effort and intellectual input used in their production, all the restored prints are the international copyright of the restorer. Any unauthorised copying of one of the restored prints is a breach of that copyright. See the Important Copyright Notice (also accessed from the button at the foot of the Home Page). jimfbleak (talk) 07:51, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I've deleted the images now to protect RestoredPrints.com's copyright. jimfbleak (talk) 16:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

The main page and FAQ at restoredprints.com still say all rights reserved and http://www.restoredprints.com/copyright.html does not exist. if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article's talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at the talk page with a link to where we can find that note.
 * You will still need a url to the original picture on each image's description page

If the images had been released under the GFDL, there would have been different problems with Peregrine Falcon and Osprey. Featured and Good Articles such as these require higher standards, and your additions did not meet the criteria in terms of text, referencing or image placement. Some articles (see Northern Bald Ibis do have cultural sections, but they have to be up to the criteria. jimfbleak (talk) 07:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
