It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead. |
[edit] Accent
Anybody know what kind of accent he has? It's not cockney for sure. Is it Estuary? I'm just curious.Three-Tail 01:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
He has an english accent but I think he hides it when he did the Spiderwick Chronicle. The commercial says it all! —Preceding unsigned comment added by OhAraDear (talk • contribs) 16:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Of course he has an English accent, but there are many accents in England. Freddie has a similar accent to me, not sure if it is classed as Estuary. I usually just define it as Southern England. Sammo132 14.21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
With a policy about non-free photos like that you might as well not have any pictures at all. Because the chances of getting alot of pictures that aren't screenshots, promotional, press, etc. are very slim.
I'll put one in if nobody can find one. But the picture will probably have to be non-free.70.54.3.78 08:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- I reverted your edit; you did not add an image to the field, and it came up a red link reading "javascript;;". Please be advised that photos that are copyrighted or non-free will be removed; until a free-use image is available (which does happen), it would be best not to try our luck.

Yeah I know, sorry about that. I was screwed it up and didn't know how to fix it. And the choice is quite simple. This isn't about non-free or free pictures, this is simply do you want pictures. If Wikipedia only wants free pictures, than that's the same as saying no pictures. If pictures are needed, then non-free ones will have to do, or at least until a free one is found. Look at Freddie Highmore Online, I'm sure there's something there.70.54.3.78 08:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- No, I'm afraid there isn't. "Non-free" images will not do, unfortunately, and will be deleted. María (críticame) 12:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Then this article will remain poor quality, as will all of Wikipedia. If the quality of this article is to be improved, then get over it and use a non-free image. Do it until you find a free image. That's the best solution.70.54.3.78 19:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- This discussion is no longer about the article in question and is therefore off topic; it would be more suitable to voice your concerns at another place, such as Wikipedia:Village pump. María (críticame) 19:50, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay fine. But is there at least a way to shrink that placeholder thing or something? Just so there isn't a giant gap between the subtitle and the text.
- That's normally how articles look when they have a short lead, and the image is at normal size. When/if the lead is expanded as the article grows, the space will be less apparent. María (críticame) 01:31, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Freddie is now 16 but he looks 12 or younger. Maybe he learned that Peter Pan trick while filming Finding Neverland. Das Baz, aka Erudil 16:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
