Came here to promote; not convinced by the image licence/clarity. According to Commons, it is dated 1914, and I'm pretty sure we didn't had {{cc-by-2.5}} in 1914. I think the licencing should be a combination of {{PD-Canada}} and {{PD-US-expired}}. That being said, is the image clear at 100px? – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:29, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kavyansh.Singh: I have added the two templates to the Commons licencing. As for if the image is clear at 100px: that's a judgement call for reviewers/promoters and I am alright with this hook running without the image if editors make that determination. Z1720 (talk) 16:36, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
