Photos

@Catfurball, could you expand on your reasoning for adding the requested image tag? The article already has a lead photo, and I'm pretty sure there aren't any others easily in the public domain. (If someone who knew Page has a photo of him calling that they'd be willing to publicly release, that'd be nice, but seeking that out is probably more effort than it's worth unless someone is trying to take this to GA/FA.) {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 16:41, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sdkb: I put the the wrong template down, I replaced it with the correct template for Infobox requested. Catfurball (talk) 16:46, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks for fixing. I don't see a particularly strong need for an infobox for this article—as a humanities person, Page meets a lot of the criteria to make WP:DISINFOBOX apply—so I'll remove the tag, but if you or someone else wants to add an infobox, I wouldn't object. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 16:50, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
