Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start, and see Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any user or the editors for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! -- Stephen Ewen 01:16, 4 June 2007 (CDT)

Please don't take at face value anything you find at a WP or Wikimedia Commons image page. In my experience, about half the time the uploader was sloppy at best, fraudulent at worst. This image is an example. A rule-of-thumb is to never cite the Wikipedia page or Wikimedia Commons page as the source unless the uploader is also the author of the image, and even then doubt they are the author if it seems you maybe should. Cite the original source of the image after first checking to see if what is written at the upload page abut the source is true.
This is an image that, regrettably, appears to be an a gray area. The original source, the original piece of artwork, is of course, Public Domain. However, the museum, The Connecticut Historical Society, who holds the lone instance of the work, asserts restriction rights over their digitized image of it. These restrictions are unrelated to copyright law but related to contract law. Basically, if you enter their website to view the image, you agree to use the image per their terms. Their terms are that the image is for personal use only, see here. While all that may be legally dubious, should push come to shove, let's just do the work to get the museum to release the image to Citizendium.
I have commented out the image on the article for now. Meanwhile, I will myself deal with the museum to use the image. The image will be be ale to be used in one way or another. If they charge a fee, you can use {{}}. But let's wait for now. It may take a month, but I'll keep you updated.
