- Silent Parade
- Request
- I'm getting read to nominate English WP article Silent Parade for FA class, but I'm having a hard time finding a decent free-use image to use for the top infobox (the image in the InfoBox now is probably not satisfactory).
- However, there is a free-use newsreel (movie) at File:Negroes' Protest a Silent Parade 1917.webm. That movie was made and published in 1917, so has no copyright issues. Could someone extract a few still pics from the movie? Best would be pictures that show a large number of people; perhaps with some of of the posters included (words should be legible). Maybe 3 to 5 pics selected from various points in the movie.
- No need for you to crop the pics, or to adjust the pics for sharpness or contrast, etc,.... I can do that. Also, I am happy to do the work of uploading to Wiki Commons. Thanks! Noleander (talk) 18:21, 17 April 2025 (UTC)-- Noleander (talk) 19:54, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Watermarks in a 1928 photo

- Request
- I'd like to remove the watermarks from this photo: both the "Istituto Luce" lettering superimposed over the image and the logo in the bottom right-hand corner. I had copyright concerns and asked for advice on WP:IMAGEHELP: see this discussion. Apparently there's no copyright and the watermarks are free to remove. Thanks for your help! -- Gitz (talk) (contribs) 08:29, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- Adding to my request: would it be possible to do the same with this image? Its copyright status should be identical and I could upload it on Commons now or, better, once the watermarks are removed. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 08:36, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Done - Reduced the newsprint dot texture pattern, sharpened & removed dust/scratches. Not really able to improve much further as not much to work with originally! - Regards, Liandrei (talk) 01:30, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you! A decided improvement. You have made bricks without straw remarkably successfully. Tim riley talk 13:40, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
