The image currently used ([[:commons:Image:John_graunt.jpg|from Commons]]) is a photograph, apparently of an actor in a theatrical production, and is not old artwork. There is no licensing information--just a source, which also has no license information. I left a note on the talk page there, but could not flag the image since the database is locked at the moment. --[[User:Cotinis|Cotinis]] 15:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Image license/copyright problems

The image currently used (from Commons) is a photograph, apparently of an actor in a theatrical production, and is not old artwork. There is no licensing information--just a source, which also has no license information. I left a note on the talk page there, but could not flag the image since the database is locked at the moment. --Cotinis 15:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More information about the photo is here--it is from 1993, and the licensing is not given. It is clearly not PD-old. I have added a note to the commons talk page --Cotinis 17:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

obvious grafitti / vandalism

the current edition of the article obviously suffers from vandalism, since the formula for 'expected value' reads "(i+am+a+massive+twat)/x". This article needs attention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.142.181.57 (talk) 19:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

The Captain John Graunt?

I notice that this edit removes a link to this image of a Captain John Graunt. There was no explanation as to why the image was removed. Does anyone know why?

The assertion that he was a captain seems correct from a quick google search that I did. On the other hand, the guy looks like he is from the 19th century, rather than the 17th.

Don't panic; you should have time to contest the deletion (although please review deletion guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

  • If the image is non-free then you may need to provide a fair use rationale

Major additions to page

Hello fellow Wikipedians!

I have just edited Graunt's page in the following ways: (1) I edited the biography for some fact checking/addition of sources, (2) I added a section on Graunt's main work, Observations on the Bills of Mortality, (3) added photos of Graunt's work, and (4) added a brief section on Graunt's impact. I hope this addition is agreeable and useful to all! Ellamarrero (talk) 21:42, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
