Talk:Michael Tomlinson

Which portrait should be used for the article?
I initially updated the article with of Tomlinson given that it is a newer photo of the subject and is his official portrait as used by the gov.uk website. Using the newer official portrait of Tomlinson would make the article consistent with that of other cabinet ministers, for example Claire Coutinho, where the portrait used at the top of the infobox is that sourced from gov.uk rather than the portrait at parliament.uk.

I appreciate that @Fm675 removed the image suggesting that the older 2016 portrait from Michael Tomlinson's office is better quality than the newer one. But to be honest, neither images are particularly great in terms of quality. I believe the newer one should be used and wish to develop consensus on this before starting an edit war.

 * I think that it's better to have the official parliamentary portrait of him. That's what other MPs have on their pages. Ellwat (talk) 12:33, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
