[edit] Image

The image is covered under fair use. It's a promotional photograph. D. Wo. 17:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm concerned with whether this fits into the policy and ethos of how we deal with fair use on Wikipedia (since our aim is to build a free encyclopedia)? One policy is that we should use images under fair use only if "no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information" and that "if the subject of the photograph still exists, a free photograph could be taken" (from Wikipedia:Fair use). In the case of Matt Redman, it wouldn't be that hard, I would have thought, to obtain a free photograph. (I used to have one myself somewhere...I'll see if I still have it). For example, has anyone tried contacting Redman himself? — Matt Crypto 18:27, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

And the update on this is! - we still have no photograph Kevinalewis 17:58, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

I've added one I took in '96 at Soul Survivor. It's not great, but it's at least free. — Matt Crypto 08:27, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What denomination does Matt Belong too?

I added Matt Redman to the Wikipedia Charismatic Project, but is this right? Tmjsmith; 20:34, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I think you are wrong. And anyway, as long as it's not clearly mentionned in the article you shouldn't assume that he belongs to any denomination. -Sucrine ( ><> talk) 16:19, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Unless we know for sure, we should not state that. It's better to be safe than... not safe. — D. Wo. 20:04, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
