File talk:William Swainson (ornithologist).jpg

Who am I?

I uploaded this file from the National Library photo database. An anom then changed the description with the following edit summary: "NOT William Swainson (lawyer) - this is William Swainson (ornithologist)". I had a look at other photos of the ornithologist and indeed, there is rather a likeness visible. So I followed up with the National Library. Here's their response: "You are indeed correct. We did make a mistake in identifying the image you mention. It is of the natural historian not the lawyer. Our database has been corrected and the changed record can be seen on our site TAPUHI at http://tapuhi.natlib.govt.nz at ref PA3-0268 . The main National Library site will take extra time to upload the new information." Hence, I will rename this file accordingly. Schwede66 04:46, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
