It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

[edit] Image concerns

Is there any image of her available that does not include nudity and a copyright watermark? I'm unconvinced that this image isn't a copyvio since her official website has original photos, not Mac and Bumble content. And the general trend has been for articles on Playboy playmates and adult film stars to use non-nude images. I think a better image on both accounts should be located. 23skidoo 03:31, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Her PetraCentral website has plenty of photos, not all of which are undressed. Is it reasonable to ask her for some images that she'd allow to be placed in the public domain for the purposes of Wikipedia, or otherwise allow? stjen 00:02, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

Go for it. But read WikiProject Porn stars first. Many wikipedia editors take an overly strict interpretation of copyright, particularly for models, and would delete an image if a copyright waiver were not documented. Ghosts&empties 04:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I will, except there doesn't seem to be an article of that name, unfortunately...? stjen 19:54, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

Try Wikipedia:WikiProject Porn stars. Proceed with patience and resoluteness. The image deletionists can be frustrating.

Remember, Wikipedia isn't censored and that you can't use a Fair Use image purely to illustrate the subject Kind Regards - Heligoland | Talk | Contribs 13:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Petra is not a porn star - neither softcore nor hardcore. She is a glamour model. Playboy is not pornography. 76.186.106.159 05:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Petra's Middle Name

I don't know where people keep getting the idea the Petra's middle name is "Berta", but it is not. It is Charlotte. This information comes directly from Petra Herself (I asked her, and I probably have an email to prove it). Please stop "correcting" it. stjen 20:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article Nomination

Facts well referenced, well edits, capture mythology; contains a photograph albeir not a racy one. Ghosts&empties 21:17, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• Maybe back in August it did, but since then this article has been reduced to little more than a stub, with no photograph. It wouldn't hold water for GA now. 23skidoo 20:26, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
