Rachel Zegler image
Unfortunately, we can only use images that are released for free reuse, see Image use policy. The image you uploaded is beautiful, but probably a professional image, and professionals rarely release their images for free reuse; they do sometimes, but rarely enough that we need proof of that. Please see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Rachel_Zegler_in_2023.jpg --GRuban (talk) 13:50, 7 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi! I understand your concern but I just wanted to clarify, the image wasn't taken by a professional photographer, I have explicit permission from Rachel and the person who took the photo (Sarah Slutsky) to upload it here. It was taken with a regular iPhone for social media! Klerec (talk) 17:56, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I saw there was also a correction on the photo not being same as another photo from the Shazam press tour, Rachel wore different outfits when promoting the film, this was for interviews in London but not for the red carpet. Klerec (talk) 18:01, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
 * That is wonderful! However we need Sarah Slutsky to say that, since you are not she. Can you get her to fill out this form https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikimedia_VRT_release_generator and send the resulting email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org? I'm also going to ask via https://www.sarahslutsky.com/contact-1 assuming that the Sarah Slutsky that you mean. Thank you! --GRuban (talk) 18:30, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's the right Sarah Slutsky, did you send her the form? If not please let me know so I can reach out to her and send it. I messaged Rachel to let her know either way. Klerec (talk) 21:39, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I sent both the form and an email, with nearly identical content. But if you know her personally, something from you will probably work better than a form or email from some random Wikipedia volunteer. The copyright of a photo is generally owned by the photographer (sometimes by their employer, if that's what their contract says), so if Sarah Slutsky didn't take that photo for hire, she probably is the right decision maker here. Have to say, for a non-professional photographer, she takes an excellent professional quality photo! --GRuban (talk) 01:11, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Still no response. Please do reach out to her. --GRuban (talk) 18:17, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
