Untitled[edit]

I don't understand how Simon Kuper is a *British* author born in Uganda to South African parents, and raised in Holland. Does he have dual (or multiple) citizenship? Why stress British? Is it clear that he is definitely British? One of the links describes him as British, but near the bottom says "About Simon Kuper: Simon Kuper was born in South Africa, grew up in Leiden, spent time in London and now lives in Paris." This contradicts the Uganda thing, and I don't understand why we stress British anyway, even if he has somehow acquired a British passport from 'spending time' in London. Surely Ugandan or South African are just as valid? Or Dutch.

Do his parents have dual citizenship and he inherited this somehow?

I would like to remove the word 'British', unless there is an authoritative reference, or an explanation of what I am missing here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Five Mile Walk (talk • contribs) 17:51, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Kuper himself claims to be a British citizen in one of his Financial Times columns (25 June 2010): http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/71fb98f6-80a6-11df-be5a-00144feabdc0.html That should be authoritative enough. Piperh (talk) 15:57, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Image for infobox[edit]

I published a photo of Kuper, which is free to use for non-commercial purposes, in accordance with creative commons standards (CC BY-NC 2.0). I have double-checked the terms for licensing the photo and it looks fine for use here to me. See direct link to the photo and distribution terms here.

Why was it removed? @Johnj1995

If there is no valid reason for the removal of the photo, I would kindly like to ask for it to be put back. Chimamanda296 (talk) 19:34, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The photo is not licensed under WP:CC-BY-SA, which is necessary for it to be in the Wikimedia Commons. It has a "non-commercial" tag that is incompatible. ... discospinster _talk 21:52, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
