[edit] Image at Bryan Lee O'Malley

Hi. I understand that you have indicated in your livejournal that you do not like the photo being used to illustrate the article on you. That's fine. However, until a better public domain image is found, there is no reason to remove the existing image. The subjects of Wikipedia articles do not get to dictate the content of their respective articles, and there is nothing wrong with the image in question (nor does it run afoul of the policies at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons).

Somebody did upload a better image of you (Image:Mal.jpg), probably in response to your livejournal post. It looks like it was uploaded from your flickr account. However, that image was removed, as it did not have an acceptable free license. If you would like to help us improve the quality of the image(s) used at Bryan Lee O'Malley, the best thing you could do would be to change the license of any portraits that you have uploaded to flickr (such as (Image:Mal.jpg). Only images that are licensed on flickr as (CC-BY) or as (CC-BY-SA) are acceptable for use on Wikipedia. Or you can simply upload any photo of yourself to Wikipedia, as long as it is public domain or, as image creator/license holder, you are prepared to release it under a free license.

I hope that helps. Leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Thanks. Skeezix1000 (talk) 15:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Much thanks. I uploaded your new image to the Commons, so it can be used on other Wikimedia projects, but that's it. Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:38, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
