[edit]

I have removed the image from the infobox of this page. I created this article last year (June 2024) and added the photo shortly after. I found the image on a few news articles from the area local to where May would have lived. In one article there was a local Aboriginal elder holding the picture in a frame, see here so it seemed credible that this was her image. I added it using the non-free use image tool. Even though the image was old enough to be out of copyright I was tentative about adding it to wikicommons. Her story has only been rediscovered recently, and I just felt I shouldn't do anything too permanent. However an edit posted in September by an anonymous user stated the following:

"Note: The photograph featured here is not Aunty May and has been erroneously used for many years. The woman's great granddaughter approached Uralla Shire Council in 2021 to advise they were using her antecedent's image, cropped from the original group photo, who had nursed in Sydney with Aunty May and kept in contact with her occasionally when she was nursing in Inverell. The woman's granddaughter was living in Goondiwindi aged care at the time and remembered being at Aunty May's home as a small child when visiting with her mother, who is featured in the photo)." I have removed this text from the page as it was in the lead section.

I think considering her story has been recently rediscovered, it is possible this photo has been attributed to her in error, so in this instance this anonymous post is enough to proceed with caution and remove the photo until I (or someone else) can verify whether it is of May Yarrowick.

The image is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:May_Yarrowick,_Australian_mid-wife.jpg

Please add any info if you know something about the picture, or comment if you have suggestions about this.
