Image use
Hello, and thanks for trying to add a better image to Adam Legzdins. But we aren't allowed to use copyright images for living people. However crap the existing image is, it is a free-to-use image, and Getty Images aren't. And it's always possible to take a new picture of a public person like a footballer. See Non-free content criteria, the first point, about "where no free equivalent is available, or could be created". cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:58, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

i didnt understand how to do this as ive never done it before, so apologies if it was wrong and ill try and do it correctly next time


 * No harm done. It'd be nice if we could just use any image we found on the internet, but the legal stuff about copyright is very strict. If we can't prove we're explicitly allowed to use an image, then we can't use it. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:07, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
