Image of Goodricke
I have removed the image of John Goodricke, which was scanned by the uploader from a copyright publication (Sky & Telescope). The image as uploaded is not in the public domain. Rights are held by the Royal Astronomical Society. Licenses for reproduction should be addressed to them or their agents, Science Photo Library.

- In light of this action, I added the image back to the article. See my talk page for my own comments. - Astrochemist (talk) 03:52, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- Perhaps someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the "original source" is the artist. I'm not sure that it is Wikipedia practice to include a portrait's owner in an infobox, but sometimes an artist's name is given there. - Astrochemist (talk) 01:47, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Where is it now?
Two citations in the article provide evidence that the Goodricke portrait was presented to the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) in 1912. Can an acceptable citation be found to show that the RAS still has it, in London or elsewhere? The page for the Science Photo Library (linked from this article) does not explicitly state the portrait's location. If one wanted to view the portrait, where could it be found? Can a reference be located and added to this article? - Astrochemist (talk) 02:28, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
