Update needed

@AnonMoos: Another update to this drawing is needed, after the results of the most recent investigation of the identities of the subjects of Joe Rosenthal's photograph were announced last month. I think it would be best to follow the lead of the Marine Corps and use numbers rather than names to identify the six positions in this drawing.

From right to left, the subjects of Rosenthal's photograph are as follows:

• Position 1: Corporal Harlon H. Block
• Position 2: Corporal Harold P. Keller (misidentified as Rene Gagnon until October 2019)
• Position 3: Private First Class Franklin R. Sousley
• Position 4: Sergeant Michael Strank
• Position 5: Private First Class Harold H. Schultz
• Position 6: Private First Class Ira H. Hayes

An annotated version of the Rosenthal photo appears on page 243 of the Investigating Iwo PDF cited below. Replacing names with numbers will make the graphic more readable, too. Thanks in advance to anyone taking on this project. — WFinch (talk) 15:50, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Not sure why you singled me out -- I only performed a narrow technical fix to an older version of the file. A language-neutral version of the diagram might be a good idea, but should probably be uploaded as a new file under a separate name... AnonMoos (talk) 16:15, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

I pinged you just because the previous editors on this file are blocked or no longer active. I've never made a request like this before, and can't create the file myself. Could you put your proposal forward or do I need to do that? — WFinch (talk) 16:21, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

I might get around to it after a while, but it may be quicker to ask at Commons:Graphics village pump. -- AnonMoos (talk)
