Photo of George F. Merson
Hi. You uploaded File:G.F.Merson.jpg and indicated that it was your own work. Can you confirm that you took this photo of the subject and provide the date of the photograph? Thanks. Pburka (talk) 14:22, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Judging from the caption you've added to the image, this image is not in fact your own work, but is scanned from a book. This suggests that it is copyrighted. Please provide justification for the use of this image. If not, I will have to move to have it deleted. Pburka (talk) 16:23, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

i am a part time historian in Ethicon, Livingston, Scotland and I want to show the world the person behind this great story from listening to Joseph Lister to his own works and then when Johnson & JOhnson bought it over in 1949 and renamed it Ethicon, this man has sutures called after him! Mersilk etc, I have been told by our Director that I could use one of his pictures as a employee of Ethicon. Can you advise?
 * Well, I guess you are asking if you can use a picture you have. The answer is sure, (Special:Upload) but make sure it has the correct copyright licences or it may be deleted.  Rcsprinter  (speak)  16:37, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
