From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Image can be found here and should be easy to be integrated. The infed is a not-for-profit site which is going to "donate" the image to wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.72.231.60 (talk) 02:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This thing is lame

See Image talk:Replace this image female.svg#This thing is lame. Punkmorten (talk) 19:28, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Agreed! What can we do to get rid of it aside from manually deleting them? --AStanhope (talk) 20:52, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Goldie_2003.jpg (found on the drum and bass page). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.165.96.134 (talk) 23:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, added to Goldie infobox. DoubleBlue (Talk) 05:42, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Among other things (stereotypes, etc), this image looks like the guy had a horrible accident which mutated his head... Why not just use Image:Replace this image1.svg? Skittle (talk) 11:25, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Because it looks somewhat worse. And if you have issues with the guy's head take them up with NASA.Genisock2 (talk) 19:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

?! Are you suggesting that Nasa mutated the guy's head?! Skittle (talk) 20:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

The image ultimately derives from Image:Pioneer plaque line-drawing of a human male.svg.Genisock2 (talk) 23:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see. But that image features additional lines showing that there is hair; they can't be held responsible for what the world has done to their image! Skittle (talk) 16:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wording

I don't like the 'do you own one'. It doesn't matter if someone owns one or not, it's whether they can obtain one in digital form that is free and upload it to Wikipedia. "Can you provide one" would be a lot more sensible. Richard001 (talk) 01:43, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

"that is free" yeah people don't really get that so we bring the whole ownership thing into play as an attempt to work around that problem.Genisock2 (talk) 10:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image Placeholders

A discussion concerning the use of image placeholders has opened at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Image placeholders and may be of interest to editors watching this image. The placeholder images have recently been uploaded to 50,000 articles, and while there has been disagreement about the use of these images in various corners, there has not been a centralized discussion on this issue affecting the community. Please contribute your thoughts and publicize this discussion anywhere you feel would be appropriate. Thank you. Northwesterner1 (talk) 10:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I have contacted Norm Johnson and received his permission to place a photo of him here (one from his personal webpage) I have this documentation (though not a "legal release" in the context of a signed/notarized form) but an email from him stating he would be very happy to have his photo included. Is that enough to post it? If not, as I have means to contact him, what do I need to add this image? Thanks, just want to do this right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by OneHappyHusky (talk • contribs) 02:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

The image would need to be released under a free license such as the GNU Free Documentation License.Genisock2 (talk) 01:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I've made a new version in the meantime:

(I couldn't replace the old image because the page was protected.) I'd be happy to make one for the female if anyone's interested. Tlogmer ( talk / contributions ) 12:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
