@Arnabsaha2212: Correct, it can't, sorry. Perhaps if you asked at that source in Bengali?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 12:02, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I asked them too, and they said, the photos are from Club archives. but, the original photographer is unknown. Arnabsaha2212 (talk) 12:07, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

@Arnabsaha2212: Which photo are you interested in? I can't read Bengali. Do they have an approximation of when that photo was taken, based on the look and lifetime of the subject, location in the archives, etc.?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 12:15, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I want to upload the photo of the founder and 1st president, in the photos its written the personality's name, and the post (like president/secretary etc). check this official website of the club. i asked the facebook uploaders and they said, the photos are of 1920s-1930s during club formation, in Kolkata. Arnabsaha2212 (talk) 12:34, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

@Arnabsaha2212: Great, you can upload, indicate a date of "1920s-1930s" and an author of "anonymous", and use {{PD-India-photo-1958}} and {{PD-1996}} license tags. I'm sorry, being halfway around the world and thinking linguistically, I thought East Bengal was in Bangladesh, not India.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:36, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: ok, thanks for helping... :)
btw, people do think East Bengal FC is a club of bangladesh. even during club wars, rival clubs taunt EB fans as bangladeshis. after the division of bengal in 1905, people (maily hindu bengalis, called bangal) migrated from east bengal (now bangladesh) to India. In 1920, the original people of west bengal (called Ghoti, their club is Mohun Bagan) betrayed the bangal players in the team by not selecting them, and thus as a protest East Bengal Club was formed, which was mainly supported by immigrant people (bangals). so many people think east bengal is a club of bangladesh. :) Arnabsaha2212 (talk) 17:09, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Out of scope?

Hi Jeff G. I was wondering if you could take a look at these images. Somehow, to me they look like self-advertising. Thank you for your time. :-) Lotje (talk) 09:16, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much Jeff G. Since you are on the spot, can you take a look at the contributions of Mervinv? It looks like this user is adding external links (seem spam to me). I notified the user, but maybe this should be taken care of by someone else. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 15:15, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
