I, also, would like to know the source of that photo. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 16:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Image is a scan of a postcard size promo photo (usually handed out for autographs, although in this case unsigned). I am stuck as to what source to specify in this case. I *think* these kind of promotional images are considered fair use, however research of wikipedia docs has left me unsure. Help needed. Flumpaphone
Sounds fair enough to me. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 03:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Fixed. On a related note, damn, she is hot. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 05:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
When I was tagging this photo for deletion, i thought the same thing. Rawr! --Jeff 07:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

agreed! :) Flumpaphone

[edit] Image:Nigella Lawson.jpg

Hey Flumpaphone. There is a lively debate about use of promo photos on wikipedia. My name is Jeff and I Do not support the interpretation of WP:FU as implemented by user's like User:Chowbok. They believe that Wikipedia should be free of all promotional photos that are "replaceable with an equivalent" (i.e. an amateur photo from flickr). Their rationale is being debated in many places, and take it a step further believing that all promo photos should be deleted and let someone else deal with finding and uploading a free alternative.

And many other places I've no doubt missed.

I and many others who support use of fair use promotional photos have not been successful in changing the actions of Chowbok and rampant deletion and changing of many hundred's of useful images from Wikipedia articles continues. One good example is the Jennifer Granholm article which had a great promo photo replaced by a terrible photo. I seek to raise the profile of this issue through challenging promotional photos on high profile article's like this one. I'm sorry, really I am, but fair use policy as implemented by Chowbok has left me with few viable options.

I invite you to join the battle for Promotional Photo usage on Wikipedia and the protection of Fair Use concepts. --Jeff 07:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Damn it, that photo will be the death of us. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 18:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Okay, this is getting kind of lame. Why does that anon keep putting the deletion template on it? Is there any way to say that the photo meets requirements once and for all? —Disavian (talk/contribs) 15:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
