Marie of Romania

 * Nominator(s):  Alex  (talk) 21:56, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

This one is close to heart for me, Marie is truly the queen of the people here in Romania. I've spent nearly a month on this article and I believe it is now ready for FAC. I'm looking forward to suggestions for improvement. Cheers,  Alex  (talk) 21:56, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Image review
 * File:Queen_Mary_of_Romania_2.jpg is tagged as lacking author info
 * Added.


 * File:SemnaturaMaria.jpg needs a US PD tag, as do File:Millais,_Princess_Marie_of_Edinburgh.jpg, File:Marie_of_Romania_1893.jpg, File:Duckyandsisters.jpg, File:Philip_Alexius_de_Laszlo-Queen_Marie_of_Romania,_nee_Princess_Marie_of_Edinburgh.jpg, File:Elena_Popea_-_Regina_Maria.jpg
 * Added to all except to Lazslo's painting, which already had one.


 * File:Marie,_Crown_Princess_of_Romania.jpg: when/where was this first published/displayed? What steps have been taken to seek the author's identity? What is the licensing status in the US?
 * The author is unknown, as it is probably the work of a photographic workshop. As far as I am aware, it was not published until Marie's autobiography, so I've added the PD-US-unpublished tag, let me know if this is alright.


 * File:1893_-_Ferdinand_şi_Maria_ca_Principe_şiPprincipesă_de_Coroană.PNG: there is no way an 1893 image is the uploader's own work; same with File:1917_-_Regina_Maria_pe_timpul_vizitei_într-un_spital_în_anul_1917.jpg
 * Fixed.


 * File:Constantin_Pascali_-_Regina_Maria.jpg: source link is dead, needs US PD tag
 * Added tag, can't seem to find painting anywhere else though.


 * File:Coronation_of_Ferdinand_and_Marie.jpg is sourced to completely different images and has a licensing tag that cannot be correct
 * I was unable to find a source for the image, so I've removed it and left only the other image.


 * File:BisericaEpiscopalaCurteaDeArges_(12).JPG: as Romania does not have freedom of panorama, what is the copyright status of this work? Same with File:Bustul_reginei_Maria_din_Arcul_de_triumf.jpg
 * Romania does have freedom of panorama, as long as the pictures are not used for commercial purposes, which is certainly not the case here.


 * File:Medal_-_Marie_of_Romania.jpg: what is the copyright status of the medal itself?
 * Since Marie is dressed as a nurse on the medal, it is likely from during the war, so it is in the public domain.


 * What is the copyright status of coats of arms in Romania? Nikkimaria (talk) 23:17, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Do coats of arms require copyrights?  Alex  (talk) 17:22, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Minor Note: I see a few citation errors coming up (as of this version) -- refs 16, 50, & 51 currently are not pointing anywhere.  Ruby  2010/  2013  00:21, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, just some errors which have been fixed now.  Alex  (talk) 17:22, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Comment – The main text of the article is a mixture of British and American spellings. For instance we have both "honour" and "honor" and inconsistent –ise/ize endings. I imagine the intention is to use British English, and I will be happy to go through and make it consistent if that would be of help. – Tim riley (talk) 14:36, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Closing comment -- Aside from this attracting little in the way of commentary, it doesn't look like Alex has been around since mid-December, which even allowing for the silly season is too long a break for FAC, so I'll be archiving it shortly. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 14:23, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry, I've been crazy busy lately. This really has attracted little commentary, so I'll probably nominate it for GA instead. --  Alex  (talk) 22:50, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
