[edit] Image

Could someone with a better understanding of the policy regarding image uploading find one for the page? I am completely helpless when it comes to all of this fair use/free/copyright nonsense. There are plenty of pics available online, put I don't know which are copyrighted, or even how to go about finding out. If worse comes to worse, I could go down to City Hall and take one myself, but I'd rather not have to do that. ;) Thanks! faithless (^speak) 01:08, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

There are generally several options for a usable picture: public domain (or free licensed picture), fair use, or a picture you take yourself. I took a quick look at some of the places we normally find public domain or free licensed pictures and didn't see any - not surprising for a local political figure. The ones online are copyrighted, and fair use isn't usually appropriate for a living person. So, the probable options are (1) contact him (or his office) - or someone you know that has a picture of him - to see if they will release a picture to the public domain (or under one of the Wikipedia friendly licenses); or (2) take the picture yourself. Yes, the Wikipedia images policy is a bit complex. Let me know if you need a better explanation.--Kubigula (talk) 03:52, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
