I;ve found an image of her from around 1895 Image:JeanneCalmentaged20.jpg which must be public domain by now. But it isn't the same as showing her at 122 years old which is why she is notable. There is an image of her on flickr taken by a user which looks as if it doesn't have AP or press agency rights. She is smoking in it. I;d suggest you contact the uploadeder at flickr and request permission to use the image. However the image is small so I have doubts on whether the uploader took it. Count Blofeld 22:29, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
I have to agree too (unfortunately). It looks like an obvious AP photo to me. I've uploaded some expired ones but I know its not the same. The best thing we can do is formally request permission to use an image of her old. I've uploaded Image:JeanneCalmentaged22.jpg so its not as if there aren't any images but finding a free old image of her is not easy given that many sites use images in this way.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba (talk) 14:09, 15 December 2008 (UTC) HelloHey amigo. Everything all right? Did you notice that Nepal has nearly all been started 73 and half down, 1 and a half to go! and Anome has found all the coordinates which he will add? The Bald One White cat 22:03, 16 December 2008 (UTC) TranslationsHaven't had time to do any more, sorry - I just can't seem to find the time to get to a library to look for them. The net-based one should be easier; I can do it from home, and will try to get to it sometime in the next week. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 21:46, 17 December 2008 (UTC) Le Monde archives?Hi Eddy, it's been awhile since I've stopped over these parts. I noticed you requested "Le Monde" archives. I don't have access; but, have you asked on the French wiki? I'd imagine someone over there might have access.

Nepal VDCs all started4000 new article started. Initial job done. Now all the maps and coordinates need adding and fixing thwe towns//village to Village Developement Committee. The increasing amount of information at a local level online seems to be gradually improving. Some of the online PDF files seem to be getting quite detailed for some local areas. I'm sure they will all be expanded eventually. Problem is in many places I;ve found the 1991 population data dated. I looked at marriage and literacy details a minute ago and it said things like 4900 people literate etc, 4,000 illiterate etc for 2001 and the 1991 census claims 4100 people! The Bald One White cat 19:50, 18 December 2008 (UTC) Hello. Thanks. If you can apply Chittagong I'll continue with the others The Bald One White cat 17:02, 20 December 2008 (UTC) Looks like somebody has started a WikiProject Bangladeshi villages.

Moumouni and FrenchEOTW, I just noticed your comments at the GA review of Moumouni, and I wanted to let you know, I have some French...I can read and translate some texts, not others, it just depends on how jargon-y they are. I probably won't have much free time during the next month or so, but after that if you ever need someone to take a look at something you're free to shoot me a message.

DYK for Basile Adjou Moumouni
BorgQueen (talk) 00:12, 21 December 2008 (UTC) I;ve expanded the Moumouni article a little. It really is terribly to difficult to write about something like a Beninese physician in great detail. A google search shows up only 10 hits and google books ans scholar even less. I daresay there is more information on him somewhere in a book in French, probably quite a lot, or a lot of information from the journals he has published on the nature of his work etc. If we can make it as comprehensive as possible this will stand a better chance. I;ve tried to balance out coverage of his life. I've also left two links on the talk page that may contain something useful. The Bald One White cat 11:26, 21 December 2008 (UTC) Maplandia. At present though I'm about to start the Communes of Benin. Villages within them can come later. The Bald One White cat 17:43, 21 December 2008 (UTC) All of the villages in Benin are listed with coordinates/satellite maps I think. Only falut I can see is that they are still using the old Benin department structure rather than the newer one The Bald One White cat 17:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC) Yup, it now at 209,000 in 5 more edits time The Bald One White cat 20:46, 21 December 2008 (UTC) Well, even with 209,000 I get the impression few people are really grateful for my presence on here. Some editors have no idea that I write articles as well. Some people see high edit counts as just a figure, I'm sure some people don't even stop to think how it may have actually changed this encyclopedia! I rarely get somebody stopping by to say thanks Blofeld, but it is always welcome when they do. Usually when a stranger stops by it is either a complaint or rude comment about something or something to be deleted. The Bald One White cat 20:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC) Anyway I'm not here to be thanked, I'm here to build wikipedia, but I always appreciate a word to show that people do actually notice every now and again! Hey I;ve created a new map for Benin, the old one was doing my head in! The Bald One White cat 21:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC) OMG. Check out the detail. Its kind of like my dream article I'd like to see on every African town and village!

(UTC) Re:Re: Portal:AngolaThanks, and Happy New Year!!! Shooke (talk) 18:48, 29 December 2008 (UTC) Hi. Sorry for the slow response. I'd say the quote from the secret service ref'd at 17 from Keese should be more like: "Wanting and believing himself to be sincerely democratic, to the point that no accusation irritated him more than that of being a dictator, [M'ba] nevertheless did not stop until he achieved a constitution giving him practically all power and reducing the parliament to the role of a costly decoration that could be discarded if need be." I have to admit that the precise translation of "il n'en a pas moins eu de cesse que" has me a bit stumped through! Perhaps you could take it to the languages helpdesk?
(Moving to new section)So what can we focus on next? Bam is honestly going to take a while, I think we should get at least a Good topic with earthquakes in iran, making the title an FL. Let's try and improve 1997 Qayen and Ardabil. I'll go through both. ₪Ceran →(cheer→chime →carol) 14:36, 30 December 2008 (UTC) HelloLOL. Thanks, have a great New Year too!

Drum (2004 film) GA reviewHi. I've started a review of the Drum article to see if it meets the GA criteria. The article is very short - it gives very little detail; there are issues with the writing and the layout. It will not pass GA in its current state. The question is should it be withdrawn now and let you work on improving it in your own time, or should it be given the 7 day hold to address the issues. My feeling is that there needs to be so much work done to bring the article up to standard of, say Quantum of Solace, that you would need assistance from members of the Film Project. I'll be looking more closely at the article and giving some more feedback. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Regards SilkTork *YES! 20:37, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
