Talk:Art Spiegelman

Request
Hello! I work for Art Spiegelman's publisher. Art would like to update his author photo. As a member of his team, i know I am not supposed to edit, but might I be able to connect with anyone who could help me make the change? I have two potential photos, either of which he'd be happy to use.

 * Is there a rationale for why the proposed photos would be an article-improvement over the existing 2007 photo? Also, are you the photographer? Photos proposed by someone who is not the photographer are possible, but complex. As proposed, your request will be denied. First, you have to clear the copyright issue for a specific photo and post the photo at Talk. Keep in mind that images free of copyright mean that anyone has the ability to use the photo, anywhere, not just at Wikipedia. Lastly, see WP:PAID for how to declare your paid connection on your User page. David notMD (talk) 18:31, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The photo is more recent and more accurately reflects how Art looks today (his appearance has changed quite a bit since this picture). The photo was taken by Art Spiegelman's daughter and given to us with express permission to use for this purpose. Is there any proof that I need to submit to show this is indeed the case? Or can i upload the file and click the ok button for the copyright, given that the photographer has given explicit permission.
 * I've added a paid connection to my User page. Thank you for advising! Prhjclancy (talk) 15:22, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * , the easiest way would be for his daughter to upload the photo herself to Wikimedia Commons. Only the copyright holder can freely license a photo. This is a legal transaction that cannot easily be delegated to someone else. Cullen328 (talk) 15:28, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The steps are for her to create a Wikipedia account, then search Google (or other search engine) for Wikimedia Commons. Scroll down. Under Participating, select Creating/Contributing your own work guide. Step 4 Uploading/the Upload Wizard. David notMD (talk) 02:26, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * P.S. On her User page, she should identify herself as Spiegleman's daughter, as that is a COI. David notMD (talk) 02:27, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Got it, thank you! I will pass this all along. I appreciate your help. Prhjclancy (talk) 15:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
