It says: "* Anonymous works * Photographs created before 30 June 1957: 70 years after creation if unpublished, 70 years after publication if published within 70 years of creation" So that would have been under copyright only until 22 June 1988, at the latest?

There are other images, lower down the article, of the younger Turing, which also appear to be anonymous and not marked with any copyright statement. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:03, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the introduction, it is stated that "the evidence is also consistent with accidental poisoning", but there is no citation for that. The BBC article listed as the citation for that paragraph only mentions suicide. It should either be removed, or at least have a citation needed tag. Silversquirl (talk) 00:48, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done The introduction is a summary of the rest of the article which, per MOS:LEADCITE, does not require inline citations unless the claim is likely to be challenged. Since this claim has now been challenged I added a citation from the death section which verifies it. Jamedeus (talk) 02:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Turing's remains were cremated at Woking Crematorium just two days later on 12 June 1954 with just three people attending"; the citation for this wrongly cites this at page 529, when this is actually in the postscript of the book, at page 665. Furthermore, it would be useful to add that "His mother, brother, and Lyn Newman attended the ceremony.", as opposed to "three people". EHinchliff (talk) 12:36, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In my view it should be "C". I think "A" is from too young an age and "B" looks strange (I think because his left eye is so dark almost as if it were empty). --Qcomp (talk) 15:34, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed C. It is the familiar photo of A.T., and the suggested cropping is a slight improvement. I don't like the centre one, but would have no major objection to A. I also would have no difficulty with A&C as adding some aspects, but I don't feel strongly about it. JonRichfield (talk) 13:14, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
C with perhaps a lil bit of cropping to take some of the left and bottom off. It's the clearest image which more than adequately makes up for Turing having his face at a slight angle. TarnishedPathtalk10:20, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I just did what I thought would be a good crop of C
You're saying that he looks "less honest" in image C? You have no views in his wonky eye that looks like it's made of glass? And what of the odd background colour? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:14, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a perfect photo, but his eye doesn't stand out to me much. Maybe just imperfect lighting. The background color is sepia, which I kind of like. --Trovatore (talk) 20:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Naturally this all comes down to subjective judgment, and I've stated mine. That said, I wonder if you've noticed the eye and now "can't unsee" it, whereas new readers might not find it particularly distracting. --Trovatore (talk) 20:26, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Who knows, you'd have to do an experiment (with readers who'd never seen it before), I guess. I suppose some readers might just glance at it and never look closer again. Perhaps it could be "adjusted" digitally, but that would probably bring howls of indignation from the purists... Martinevans123 (talk) 20:29, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
