Do you have any proof that Hostess didn't renew copyrights? Therapyisgood (talk) 20:37, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Therapyisgood: I wasn't the uploader of the photo, so I have not one iota of its provenance. This article states that they stopped producing baseball cards in 1979, and the company itself went bankrupt in 2012. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:10, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
If you really want I believe you can search the copyright catalogs online... but if not that's fine. The file is of some concern. I prefer alt 2 which is well-sourced and in the article. Alt 1 is also sourced and in the article, but could use a more primary source but it's perfectly fine for DYK. Article is OK by 1D rules. Expansion occurred from May 26–June 1, which is OK for timespan. Article went from 832 characters to ~5K characters now. QPQ checks out. Article is neutral, both facts are OK. Cites sources. Refs 1 and 10 copyright checked without copy-pastes. Everything is good to go except the image. Therapyisgood (talk) 21:01, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Therapyisgood: Thanks for the review! I'm fine with not using the image when this runs on the Main Page and have removed it from this nom page. —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:29, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Therapyisgood: Since the one concern you brought up has been addressed, could you please add a green tick? —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:31, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
No problem. Good to go. Therapyisgood (talk) 10:09, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
