[edit] New Orleans Mint

Self-nom. I created this article about an important architectural landmark in New Orleans. I feel that I've made the article about as comprehensive as I can think of, and I've tried to provide many images to illustrate the important parts of the text. I think it's worthy of being a featured article. User:Absecon 59 05:32, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

  1. The image Image:NO Mint Booklet 2.jpg is claimed as GFDL. However, it appears to be a "slavishly accurate" reproduction of a two-dimensional work, and thus is not eligable for copyright. Further, the subject of the image may be copyrighted, in which case the only possible license terms would be "fair use" (which would be hard to argue: this image is not essential to the article).
  2. The image Image:NOmintpostcard.jpg is claimed in the upload summary as GFDL, but again, it is a "slavishly accurate" reproduction of a two-dimensional work. I don't know what the copyright status of the original is, but judging from the date, it's probably public domain. This needs to be sorted out.
  3. The images Image:1899O.jpg, Image:1898-OMM.jpg, Image:1898-O SD.jpg, Image:1846-O Quarter Eagle.jpg, Image:1855-O Half Eagle.jpg, Image:OMINTMARK.jpg, Image:1894-O-Eagle.jpg, Image:1852-O 20 Dollars.jpg have no source or copyright information.

• Object -- Ref to Peer review – 1) No lead -- should be triple the current size 2) image sizes are huge and badly formatted 3) Presence of a long list at the bottom. 4) As far as I can see the article only deals with the mint's history. If this is the case then the title should be renamed 5) No references User:Nichalp/sg 08:44, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
