I am trying to delete two low quality, unnecessary images from the wiki page of Colin Quinn...can an administrator delete the two images appearing on that page? Thank you for any assistance.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcqny (talk • contribs)
 * Why? There are only 2 images on Colin Quinn anyway. I see no need to delete them. To remove an image from a page, you just need to edit the page and remove the image name and any text associated with it - but you need to have a good reason to do so, or it will likely be reverted as "removal of content"  Ron h jones (Talk) 22:44, 29 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi there, i took a look at the page and I agree, they dont need to be deleted. The reason they are low quality is because of copyright laws. -  S o p h i e   ( Talk ) 01:15, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

remove image from a page
how can i remove the image from a wiki page....i'm trying to delete some images that are of low quality and unflattering to the subject and not really needed....i'm new to this disucssion and received a response from admin ronh but am unsure how to reply to him....if you are out there i could use your help again or any other admin for that matter......thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcqny (talk • contribs)
 * They are two reasonable images. It's often very hard to get copyright free images for living people, the fact that they are low quality does not matter - in fact the main picture is 771 × 1,312 pixels - that's not low quality. This does sound a bit like WP:IDONTLIKEIT - which is not a reason for deletion. Unless you have some better images of your own to upload?  Ron h jones (Talk) 00:00, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Not 100% sure if you can upload yet - I think you might need to be autoconfirmed. Have a look at Upload. Anyway, once the file is uploaded - you just need to change the text in the article to point to your new pictures. The two pictures are currently linked as follows..
 * In the "Infobox" - | image            = Colin Quinn Interviewed cropped.jpg
 * In the "Body"   - IMG 0838 colin quinn.JPG
 * Note that the image in the infobox does not need the square brackets, as it's part of a special template.
 * I am assuming that your new pictures have been taken by yourself, appear nowhere on the web, and you are happy to donate them - once on Wikipedia, they can be used anywhere in the world. Pictures already on the web can cause much problems with potential copyright violations (and are quickly found by Wikpedia volunteers)- if so, you may need to review this page - WP:DCM  Ron h jones (Talk) 20:16, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
