[edit] Image copyright

What is the copyright on that photo? It looks like it belongs to WireImage.com and has not been entered into the public domain nor is released under the GFDL (a requirement for images used in Wikipedia). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we can use that image. —Frecklefoot 21:50, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)

How about the new one? I didnt get that off of Wireimage. I found it on the Google Image Search. --Annek

The problem isn't WireImage.com, it's that the photo aren't in the public domain or released under the GFDL. Unfortunately, most photos you find on the Interet are going to be copyrighted and, thus, we can't use them. That's why you don't see more photos here in the Wikipedia—its hard to get copyright-free or GFDL-released images. I think photos add a great deal to any article, its just hard to obtain ones that we can legally use.

If you do get one in the public domain or released under the GFDL (or have one you took yourself and are willing to release it under the GFDL), put that information here so there is no uncertainty regarding its status and use. Until we have an image that meets this criteria, we have to keep it off Wikipedia. :-(

Also, please sign your comments. You can do this by using either three tildes ~~~ or four ~~~~ which adds a timestamp. —Frecklefoot 22:17, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism by several users

There has been vandalism by several users who were clever enough to keep their edits discreet enough to not attract any attention. However, I picked up on the vandalism that a few other users missed. Each of the following users quietly added a few lines of vandalism hoping no one would notice. They are Vik Vah, 216.220.208, 116, 64.12.117.7, and 141.151.18.82. I reverted their edits, and I apologize to the few, but minor, changes that were made by others legitimately. Feel free to make those edits once again. Furthermore, I ask that an Admin ban these four users, because anyone who contributes vandalism likely won't become a useful member at any time. Stiles 04:01, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Is Meagon Good mixed i herad she was?

[edit] city she was raised in

I do not think that Panorama City was the "racist" city she grew up in, sounds more like either Santa Clarita or perhaps Lancaster/ Palmdale in the early 90's perhaps. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cbxweb (talk • contribs) 09:02, 29 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Meagan pix

I have a picture i drew of Meagan Good...Can i post it and will i get recognition for it?

Generally a real-life image would be best, at least for the main image. However, as it seems we can't get one of those, I'd love to see yours posted. You'll need to list yourself as the creator in the image info though, and release it into the public domain or allow for fair use or what have you to get credit. Someone might delete it someday, but if it's good, I don't see why we can't keep it once we get a real picture too. Baiter 01:06, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] question

[edit] Heritage

There is no mention of her Puerto Rican or Cherokee heritage. She has stated in several interviews that she is of that descent nor does she say that she is more black than Latina or Native American. So why isn't this mentioned??98.206.116.222 (talk) 07:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Probably because there's no source for that info. If you have a reliable source that states this, include it. Otherwise, don't remove categories because you simply don't agree with them. Every biography can't chronicle every bit of a person's life or heritage. Pinkadelica (talk) 07:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

It's very difficult to gather that type of information especially when the public or hollywood only cares about that person's one heritage or it is simply over looked because the person has not spoken up about on enough accounts. Also few resources take interest in this matter such as Ebony Magazine which does numerous interviews with actors and actresses. They are generally only interested in their African Heritage sad to say. For example they have done many interviews with Jada Pinkett Smith, but never ask about her Cherokee heritage but address her as an African American woman.Mcelite (talk) 19:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)mcelite

Well how come it's just assumed that she is African American, but you have to have proof for everything else? What if she was just Native American and Puerto Rican then would it just be written she's an American actress and that's it? That's pretty bogus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.206.116.222 (talk) 21:49, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
