Ku Klux Klan
This is an article on a topic that attracts a lot of readers and editors with strong feelings. I think it's getting to be FA quality, and would appreciate any feedback.--Bcrowell 23:23, 10 August 2005 (UTC)


 * In order to make featured status, the copyright status of the images needs to be cleared up. In particular:
 * The source and copyright status of Image:Kkklan.jpg needs to be determined.
 * The copyright status of Image:Kkk1928.jpg needs to be established. Simply being from the National Archives isn't proof of being in the public domain.
 * The copyright status of Image:Hblack.jpg needs to be determined. If it can't, then the image should be replaced.  The guy was a Supreme Court justice, so there should be no shortage of public-domain images in the National Archives.
 * Any images that are used under "fair use" need to follow the rules at Fair use.

 * Ah, thanks for pointing that out! I found a PD image to replace Image:Kkklan.jpg, and I've e-mailed the webmaster of archives.state.al.us to see if he can give any info on the copyroght status of the Hugo Black image.--Bcrowell 05:40, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It turns out that Image:Kkk1928.jpg is also PD, and I've documented that on its description page.--Bcrowell 02:10, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The webmaster of archives.state.al.us e-mailed me back, and I've added the text of what she said to Image:Hblack.jpg. Basically it looks like one of those images that almost certainly is PD, but will be almost impossible to prove is PD. I didn't have any luck finding any PD images at the National Archives, except for a group picture with the Kennedys, which is way too low in resolution. Any help anyone could provide in finding a PD image of Black would be much appreciated.--Bcrowell 01:00, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
