Non-free images and living people
Thank you for attempting to add a picture to the Brandy Norwood infobox. The problem is, the two pictures you've attempted to add have both been non-free content: album covers, screenshots from videos, etc. Simply put, non-free pictures can never be used in the infobox of an article when the subject is alive. For living people, the infobox picture needs to be a free image—a picture taken probably by a fan, who licenses it under Creative Commons, GFDL, public domain, or other terms which are free for use on Wikipedia.

I know this is a complicated area, so feel free to ask any questions you have about it. Thank you, and happy editing! —C.Fred (talk) 12:16, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

File:Rare1 modified.jpg
Speaking of picture permissions, with File:Rare1 modified.jpg, you allege that the estate of Aaliyah has released the image for any use. How do you know they've given this release? —C.Fred (talk) 12:18, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Have you got the URL for that page or the picture, so we can verify it? I don't doubt you, but if another editor comes behind and says "Yes, page reviewed, license is compatible," then things should be better for keeping the picture around. —C.Fred (talk) 16:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
