Please correct the hook or the article. It is not clear when the images became freely licensed, under what license have they been licensed, and if it is the 75 dpi of a higher resolution version that is freely licensed. Please ping me on my talk for a re-review. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 04:19, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
- I'm trying to sort out what they mean by "free access" - may need a new hook Victuallers (talk) 22:16, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

... that Geoff Charles's collection of 120,000 images of 20th century Welsh life were published at 75 dpi to prevent "illegal copying"?- First part of the hook is not referenced; in particular, the article does not clearly state that the images which were published at 75 dpi are the 120,000 ones mentioned earlier. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:16, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Article meets criteria for length and newness. Article appears to me to be sufficiently different from its sources to avoid concern about copyvio or plagiarism. Hook fact in ALT2 checks out, and it's appropriately interesting. However, I suggest revising it to say "photos" instead of "images":
