Examining your uploads..
Could you please expand upon the sourcing of these images?


 * File:LippincottDFC.jpg
 * File:ElwoodLippincott.JPG

Most likely they are official file photos, and so should be locateable in the same archives you've already uploaded other images from? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:16, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

These two photos were from Elwood's personal collection, and the prints are in our family's possession and so far we have not been able to correlate them with indexed photos in the National Archive. The photos themselves do not have any reference to who took them, or any other sort of identifying catalog numbers. Any further recommendations? Should I also note this in the description of the image? RetroEncabulator (talk) 08:23, 4 November 2018 (UTC)


 * If they are "personal images", and you've tried in good faith to match them with other indexed photos, that's definitely something to mention on a file description page. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:28, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
