File talk:Ruth Draper 1903.jpg

You posted on many pages - I answered there regarding only the content issue. Simply correct the description or remove the wrong information and categories (and not try to blank the whole description and then complaint at the abuse filter page...). No need to delete the image. --Martin H. (talk) 22:42, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Martin, I removed all the descriptive information that I could, but the image remains. Sorry i posted questions about this in multiple places. I rarely post on wikipedia, and have no dealt with pictures at all. Any additional thoughts? There seems to be no way to actually delete the image. . .

Yes, I restored the source and author information. The image still shows someone called Ruth Draper in a costume, the image is still from the Library of Congress and it is still created by that photographer in 1903. That information is correct, although we dont know who she is. Only the person description and the life date was a misidentification, so that information is removed now. Also I removed the image from the en.wp article, I think that was much more important. --Martin H. (talk) 18:59, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
