Any way to unrestrict a restricted upload?
I have been uploading screen shots of pages from a fascinating book I inherited. Business transactions from 1831-Civil War are in it with all kinds of genealogical detail, then parts of the book were repurposed into a scrapbook of newspaper clippings from 1870-1890s which are biographical in nature. Again, amazing genealogy here. I uploaded an image of a newspaper clipping today which got restricted by FamilySearch. The quality of the print is not very good and I'm guessing that is the reason for the restriction - the auto readers couldn't interpret the print. But there is also a description of something which got built on a river - and beavers build them too. Curious, I typed up the article, printed it to a pdf file, and it uploaded without any issue. So the thing beavers and engineers to do rivers wasn't the problem.
Is there a process to request a second look at the image and to get it unrestricted?

If you have received an email from FamilySearch saying that the images are restricted, reply to the email asking for a review. Usually, the record will be unrestricted, once it is reviewed by a person instead of a computer algorithm.

Hi, please check your book at the front pages and see if it is copyrighted, this could be the problem.

This is not a published book. It is a hand written business ledger of transactions from 1831 to the civil war. If you want to see what I have done so far, here is a link to the gallery. It has photos of what the book looks like. https://www.familysearch.org/photos/gallery/album/824354
