The photo of Mt. McKinley in 1987 ( File:Mt.McKinley 1987.jpg ) doesn't appear to be McKinley/Denali. Not sure what that is, but it sure isn't Mt. McKinley. Will be removing it unless someone objects.Ron Clausen (talk) 12 December 2023.
I was just checking into this when you removed the photo. (Just FYI, it doesn't hurt to give people a week or two to respond.) In this case, though, I tend to agree. The image was obviously taken in winter, which means if it's Alaska then the sun would be to the south, or the right side of the pic. From that angle, it almost looks like a photo of the North Peak, but the background is all wrong. Especially the two bodies of water on the upper left and the upper right. Nothing like that around Denali, and even if one could argue that those are the glacial moraines, they'd still be facing the wrong directions. I'm pretty well convinced this photo is not Denali, nor even one of the surrounding mountains, so I support your removal.
It might not hurt to contact the uploader of the image just to ask where they got it from. I notice they attribute the author as a well-known professor of geology, who even has an article on German Wikipedia. I don't know if they are one and the same, but I don't see anywhere where the named author has given us permission to use it, unless the uploader is the author. I haven't found another copy of it on the internet anywhere either. It might be worth doing a little digging into, since this photo is used on other Wikipedias.

Just making a comment, the link for reference #12 is no longer active. Might be available on Wayback but not sure the right process to correct the issue.
