Hi Connormah, Happy New Year!
I have added Joseph T. Doyle to the Deaths in 2012#18 list as you requested. - 220 of ^Borg 08:45, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much! – Connormah (talk) 21:11, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have Al Molinaro in my folder of uploads "to do" :-). Jimmy Durante has a category at Commons-what about using this one? File:Jimmy durante 1964.JPG There's also a category for Gene Autry at Commons--you might take a look at what's there now and I'll try to get hold of more. Will keep eyes open to see what I might find for the two Kansas members; Anna Wing and Herbert Lom may be more difficult for free use because they weren't working in the US. However, sometimes you can find a free photo with an acceptable license at Flickr. I found this File:Beatles in Birmingham 1963.jpg at Flickr with a Commons-friendly license. Will start looking and see what's out there. ;-) We hope (talk) 21:33, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are just more photos than anyone's two eyes can view; you can't possibly see them all. Today I bumped into a photo of Gleason in the role of Chester Riley-one he had for only a year. No idea why I didn't see it before. :-) We hope (talk) 21:53, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think we've now taken care of Gene Autry:

• File:Gene Autry.JPG
• File:Gene Autry personal appearance in Miami 1952.JPG
• File:Gene Autry Honorary Miami Mounted Police Member.JPG

Had a thought while I was doing this--when I get a minute, I'll try Billboard for some photos of the Kansas members. There may be some photos in ads we could use. We hope (talk) 23:24, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Will have a look-everything I've seen lately for Kansas has been post 1978. There's probably something we can use at Billboard. In the meantime, was able to get hold of a better copy of this File:Jimmy durante 1964.JPG for Jimmy Durante. We hope (talk) 23:47, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The trouble with the photo is that it's part of Billboard, not an ad. It's editorial content and would be under copyright. Starting somewhere in the mid 60s, they started taking small photo ads on the front of the magazine, but they're clearly marked as ads. If you look at the first upload of this File:Martha and the Vandellas 1965.JPG, you can see the ad mark.

Sometimes you can find a small photo in an ad that wouldn't be useful as is, but if you can "match" it to a larger copy of the photo, the Billboard ad publication works to free up the bigger photo as in this one File:Dinah Washington 1952.jpg.

I did find a Kirshner Records 1977 ad here, and we could try going with that for a group photo, but there seems to be something wrong with the Google mag tools on this Billboard copy because it won't scroll with the hand tool, enlarge or move the sidebar away. We can date this Kirshner/Epic promo photo to 1976, but need to find an unwatermarked copy of it, and/or keep looking through eBay for record company ads from either Billboard or CashBox that we can attribute and date. The other photos up on eBay are either not before 1978 or are clearly newspaper photos from concerts and the copyright on those would belong to the newspaper who took them. I think we can get something going, but it might take a little time, effort and patience to get it done. We hope (talk) 15:03, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both Kerry Livgren and Robby Steinhardt have their own websites now, and their sites do have some nice pix on them. What about e-mailing their contacts and asking for permission to use a photo for them and then putting the permissions through OTRS if they're given? We hope (talk) 16:44, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In the meantime, if I find anything we can use, I'll upload it and let you know. Better to have more photos than be in the situation we're in now with them. We hope (talk) 18:26, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your comments. I start articles about state and territorial legislators especially from Wisconsin. When I saw Hugh Gillis at recent deaths, I decided to start the article. These legislator are interesting people especially those who were pioneers. Thank you-RFD (talk) 19:40, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
