  • Source: "Jane Burrell was a CIA officer, and her death—only 110 days after CIA was officially established the previous September—makes her the first CIA officer to die while employed by the Agency." from: "The Mystery of Jane Wallis Burrell: The First CIA Officer To Die in the Agency's Service - CIA".

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: The references include several references to the same book, just changing the pages. The usual way is to list the book only once in a general "Bibliography" section, and make each reference in the style "Holt, p. X" (X being the page number). But that's minor cleanup for later, not an actual problem that should halt the DYK process. Cambalachero (talk) 16:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Any reason we shouldn't upload some or all of the CIA page images here?

[edit]

@Dumelow: and anyone else with an opinion: The CIA page https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/the-mystery-of-jane-wallis-burrell-the-first-cia-officer-to-die-in-the-agencys-service/ is covered with photos of the subject. The CIA web site site policies page, https://www.cia.gov/site-policies/ under Copyright says "Unless a copyright is indicated, information on our website is in the public domain and may be reproduced, published or otherwise used without our permission. We request only that our Agency be cited as the source of the information and that any photo credits or bylines be similarly credited to the photographer or author or our Agency, as appropriate." I don't see copyright indicated on any of those photos. Any reason we shouldn't upload most or all of these images to Commons and then put them in this article? --GRuban (talk) 16:02, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
