Fixed formatting error at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Maurice G. Archer
Greetings, the reason your infobox wasn't showing up was because of one small detail, a bit of coding you accidentally removed. I fixed it, and if you want to see how please use the History tab of the draft's page to do a comparison and see the difference. Hope this helps, MatthewVanitas (talk) 14:59, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Matthew,

Super thanks!

I have a coupl of questions. I was wonderring how to do a column with military medal ribbons (see Eisenhower's page as an example. But I jsut can't seem to have the image show up.

The second question is WRT a photo I initally included but was deleted. I'm not sure exactly why. My grandfather owned the original photo and he is the subject in the photo. I now own it and all I know from my grandmother is that it was taken in 1951 by a photographer in Quebec City. I doubt they are still in buisness today or even if the photographer is still alive. Regardless, if the person in the photo would not object to their photo being used in a scholarly article (or in this case because he has died his esate does not object), there is no monetary gain whatsoever, it's been over 60 years since the photo was taken, and the likelihood of anyone complaining about copyrights is nil, then how could I be I be in violation of copyright? I'm not sure what to do because it really brings a lot to the article and it looks rather naked without it. Knowlton1260 (talk) 19:30, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but written permission is needed from the photographer's heir. Under USA law, unpublished anonymous photos are copyrighted for 120 years. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:29, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
