[edit] Infobox
I'm currently attempting to create an infobox for this and other pages. DPCU 23:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Images
So, did the person who added the fair-use images add another rationale to the image page? Timeshift (talk) 09:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)?
- I'm afraid I didn't. Care to elaborate on what's actually required, and which images require it? Ackatsis (talk) 13:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've discussed this with an admin and they concur with me that as this is a list, fair-use images should not be used. Soon I will proceed to remove the images from this and the QE2 'list' pages. Timeshift (talk) 23:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- As near as I can tell, every image down to Ben Chifley - in addition to John Howard - falls in the public domain. Many of the remaining PMs also have alternate photographs on their main pages that are in the public domain. Can you give me a day or so to try and replace all the fair-use images?

- I've replaced most of the fair-use images with public domain replacements. The only PMs for whom I couldn't find suitable alternatives are Harold Holt, John Gorton, Bob Hawke and Paul Keating - can you help out with any of these?
- Also, what's the copyright status on the Kevin Rudd image? Can we still use it in the list? Ackatsis (talk) 21:52, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Lists do not need images. I'll be removing all of them as it is pointless. Timeshift (talk) 22:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, photographs also promote recognition, and would prove useful if one were learning about the history of Australia's leadership. Besides, if it's good enough for the American Presidents, then it's good enough for our humble PMs. Don't be quite so hasty: I'll scramble about for the remaining public domain images (your help would be appreciated, since you're obviously skilled in such endeavours), and we'll see what we can do.

I'm sorry, COULD I BE ANY MORE BLUNT in the text I added. If you do not understand non-free fair use images, DO NOT ADD THEM. It is plainly that simple. Timeshift (talk) 10:55, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
