Hey, I noticed that you uploaded and put it on her article. Wikimedia Commons might not be able to host it due to copyright reasons. On the Commons page for the picture there's a notice that it might get deleted. I'll be honest, I'm not sure who, if anyone, holds copyrights to the picture. I"m not terribly clear on the situation myself. That said, there are certain non-free images that are used on Wikipedia under fair use criteria; see also the Image use policy. These are hosted directly on Wikipedia itself.

Sorry if it's complicated and you're confused by all of it. Yeah, laws and Wikipedia policies are complicated. If it gets deleted and you're not sure what to do, remind me and I might look into it, since I do agree we should have a picture. – Anon423 (talk) 01:58, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
