File tagging File:Tony Kanal (cropped).jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Tony Kanal (cropped).jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Tony Kanal (cropped).jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

How do you come across amazing articles like this? Do you just read old papers for entertainment, or are you looking for a specific person, and while looking, stumble on these treasures? RAN (talk) 03:31, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

A lot of it is serendipity and stumbling upon. I like bringing obscure figures to light. I might be looking for a certain name or topic (for Wikidata, Wikipedia, or my own interests), and sometimes I find a relevant photo or illustration. Other times, I'll come across an interesting but unrelated image on the same page , and will upload it for historic value. --Animalparty (talk) 04:06, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

I am hoping that the next upgrade to newspapers.com will be the identification of people in newspaper images, and indexing them. They already identified obituaries and pulled relationships from them, then just a few weeks ago used AI too identify birth and marriage announcements and index them. Genealogy Bank has done the same thing and the index is at Familysearch. I have been correcting year only birth dates at Wikidata. They seem to come from obits and are calculated by the age at death, and can be off by a year or so. A great book to read , lamenting the destruction of the original newspapers after microfilming is w:Double Fold. --RAN (talk) 17:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
