Talk:Eight-ball jacket

image of the actual jacket
is there no free-use image of the actual jacket available anywhere? An image of the cue ball being displayed prominently is a little confusing... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 10:02, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Nope. I've been busting my ass trying to get one and no dice. Emailing people on ebay, posting on Reddit, checking Flickr... all for nothing. Got a tip that the Museum at FIT in New York has some, so I've just emailed them asking for a donated photo. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 18:02, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

My response too. Especially after being featured on Wikipedia's home page today. Good luck finding one. Can’t you just use one on fair use? Wis2fan (talk) 03:52, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * No, since theoretically you could make a free-use photo if you could find one of the jackets, you can't use a fair use replacement. I did get a response from the FIT museum though, so hopefully that will come through. I didn't realize it was in the next queue to be posted (my bad for not checking) or I'd have asked it to be postponed till I heard back. By the time they emailed me this morning asking for more details, it was already on the front page at DYK. C'est la vie. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 03:56, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Would an illustration of the jacket be acceptable? Because I can make one. Dronebogus (talk) 12:12, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * If the museum falls through, maybe. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 12:16, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Someone just uploaded a copyvio image, which I chucked immediately. Maybe this needs a placeholder illustration to keep driveby users from “improving” it with unlicensed images. Dronebogus (talk) 14:36, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Relax, man. I would understand if dozens of people had tried to add CV images to the article, but it's one person who made one incorrect attempt in good faith. It hasn't even been 24 hours since the museum got in contact with me. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 14:39, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I’ve apologized to the user. Dronebogus (talk) 14:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Cheers :) &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 00:25, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Anything? Dronebogus (talk) 05:52, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately nothing from the museum directly, but hoping I can get someone in the area to take a photo for me while the exhibit is up. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:15, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
