Infobox image[edit]

@MB: Hi there, the Sculpture is of Michael Howells, Its the only image that had the right licence for wiki commons. I would like to undo but I dont want to presume on your decision. --SALVAHOUSE (talk) 23:51, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SALVAHOUSE, an image in the infobox is supposed to represent the subject of the article. In a biography article, this should be a photo of the person. See MOS:LEADIMAGE - "to give readers visual confirmation that they've arrived at the right page." I don't think the sculpture qualifies - it is not "the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works". If there is no suitable licensed image of Howells, then don't put something else in that may confuse readers. If you want to keep the photo elsewhere in the article, you should also add a caption to explain it. MB 05:24, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
