    FamilySearch uses an algorithm program to screen Memories. Follow the following articles directions.

    Just a thought...did you copy the photo from another website? It may be a copyright thing...we have to get permission from many other sites like Find a Grave or Ancestry.

    The algorithm for memories has had many issues in recent months. Nearly every item I upload to memories comes back "restricted," and I have to do battle to remove the restriction, even for a word document of my own research, explaining how I reached a conclusion.

    Maybe the algorithm decided the stone looked like a naked torso? The arch of the top could maybe kinda sorta suggest a neck... if you squint really, really hard....

    It makes NO sense why you would restrict a picture of a headstone. I am a member of both Find A Grave and BillionGraves. You restricted it when I used the same headstone picture from BillionGraves, but when I went to Find A Grave and used the same headstone picture you allowed it. It mades NO sense!

    The restriction of images is done automatically by a computer. The computer often makes mistakes and tends to be overly cautious about ensuring that prohibited material is not uploaded to FS. When the computer does make a mistake, you can send a return email and ask for a human to manually review it.

    Yes, the algorithm often restricts proof statements I have written in my own words. But, a request for human review is normally successful. Annoying that it sometimes takes several days of waiting.
