[edit] James Berardinelli

Nice follow up on the James Berardinelli article in checking with him on his, uh, "advocacy." I thought it sounded sort of unusual, glad to see somebody set it straight. Tijuana Brass 20:22, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks man. I should note that he did say he thinks it's "silly" that female toplessness is a crime, albeit said calling him a forceful advocate was a "stretch" which he found amusing. Cool to see some other Christians on Wikipedia.--Lord of the Ping 20:45, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Heh, the whole concept of a forceful advocate of toplessness seems pretty funny to me, I gotta admit. Tijuana Brass 01:58, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photographs of people

It's not very straightforward, unfortunately. It depends upon what country one is publishing the photograph in. For Wikipedia purposes, we tend to assume that crowd photos are okay, photographs of people performing are okay, photographs of "public figures" are okay, and photographs in which the person isn't really recognisable are okay. Everything else is questionable. Jkelly 05:19, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, that clears things up a bit. Thanks!--Lord of the Ping 13:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
