[edit] Image of John Kovalic

Removed image of John by his request. This would demonstrate a lack of the equivalent of a model release for this image. Anyone have a better looking picture? -Dr Haggis - Talk 23:35, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

You don't need a model release for reporting purposes, especially for noteable people. (And of course he's notable; he's got an article.) I'm sympathetic to Kovalic's complaint, but he doesn't get to exclude accurate images he doesn't like any more than he gets to exclude accurate textual claims he doesn't like. If we can acquire a better image, I'm certainly in favor of replacing it. In the meanwhile, the existing image is superior to not having an image. A few searches failed to turn one up. I've contacted Kovalic asking if he can offer us a better one under a suitable license and offering to help him get it online. — Alan De Smet | Talk 06:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Although I believe De Smet's arguments are correct, I'd prefer to honor the request of Mr. Kovalic out of respect for him.--Appraiser 13:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Seconded. I'm sure a better photograph will turn up. Timmccloud 13:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
