accidentally calling your closure into question

I recently nominated File:Monica Elfriede Witt in uniform.jpg for deletion, citing your closure of this deletion discussion. I took your closure as precedent in the nomination, but it's apparently not as cut-and-dried as I thought and instead I've led to your closing being questioned. I'm not an expert on the matter, just basing my understanding on previous decisions, and would definitely like a consensus on this; not asking your to come down one way or another, but would you mind looking in on the discussion?

@Fourthords: Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, I don't think I can be much help here. My close was based entirely on the lack of a source making it impossible to verify any possible routes to it being PD; I don't have any useful knowledge about the contractor issue in this discussion.

Grif Teller photo

Hello, I'm looking for a print of Mass Transportation (Army-Navy Game) by Grif Teller and I'm wondering about the photo you uploaded. Was it just downloaded from Michael Froio's site or do you have a hard copy of it in some form? Thank you in advance! Shana3980 (talk) 23:16, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

@Shana3980: Unfortunately, I don't have a hard copy; the version on Commons is indeed from Michael Froio's site. (I can only wish for a hard copy - it looks like originals are around $150 on eBay.) It fortunately is a very good scan, and should be fine for printing up to around 18"x12" without any noticeable degradation in quality. If you do need a larger scan, I can only suggest contacting the PRRTHS. Best of luck! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:39, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Great suggestions; I'll try printing first. Thank you very much! Shana3980 (talk) 23:44, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
