 * Just again, welcome to Wikipedia. The image of an A-10 you uploaded, if a DOD-produced illustration, is a perfectly wonderful addition to the article. However, I was unable to verify that it was indeed a DOD image and I worry the 1966 date might be inaccurate. If you can adjust the information on the Commons so that the specific source for the image is included, we can make sure it goes right back in the article. Thanks! ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:41, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm fairly certain it's not a DOD image, and there's no way it's from 1966, especially given the weapons mentioned. There's a author's mark in front of the left tailplane, and while it's difficult to read, it doesn't say "DOD". I've tagged it for deletion on Commons. Also, the burden of proof is on the uploader to prove the image is not copyrighted, which has not been done. BilCat (talk) 20:12, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I created an undeletion request regarding this. The image was taken directly from this card, though I know it is still likely inconclusive https://imgur.com/a/nYfGO5l Mandevwin (talk) 21:41, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * thanks for your help! Well, that explains the 1966 date: that type of card is a 1966-type form. If you uploaded the image of that card, then I have questions wholly unrelated to the copyright (mostly "how the heck did you find that?"). All the same, I think the image isn't in the public domain due to the attribution that pointed out. Would be happy if proven wrong, as it would make an excellent addition to the article. ~ 22:20, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I will check some print sources later today, as I've seen similar images on the A-10 before. If they are copyrighted, and appear to be the same image, or not, I'll post here and on the image file. Mandevwin, your upload was in good faith, and I also hope that we can use it. BilCat (talk) 22:31, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
