Nancy Schwartzman image removed?
This is about this edit - can you explain why you removed the image from the article about Nancy Schwartzman? --GRuban (talk) 15:25, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * The photo was out of date, and Nancy asked me to remove it while she finds one with proper licensing to replace it. Apologies if that was inappropriate, as you can see I don't edit Wikipedia very often. Pluralisms (talk) 15:39, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Tell you what. When Nancy - you know her personally? - neat! - finds an image with proper licensing, and uploads it, I'll be more than glad to replace that one. The easiest way is for her to just take a self photo, which most phones can do nowadays (with a timer, or at arm's length, or looking into a mirror), then either post it publicly on a website that is known to be hers, with some license release text such as "I own the rights to this image and release it under the license at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/", or mail it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with the same text and saying it is a self picture for the article subject of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Schwartzman. (Actually, as she is a filmmaker, I'm somehow guessing she has access to better-than-a-phone photo taking equipment.) Then you can put it in the article instead of the current one, or you can ping me, and I'll be happy to help out. But let's get the better image first. I've done this for a while, and quite a lot of the time article subjects say they'll send a released image, then never do it. Until then, the current image is a lot better than nothing - it somewhat shows what she looks like, and while it may not be ideal, it certainly isn't terrible. --GRuban (talk) 19:09, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Excellent, thank you so much! We actually do have an image in mind (I work with Nancy and it is very neat), we just have to talk to the photographer about releasing it under the license. Having the photo up will definitely be a motivator for her to do this faster, hah. Pluralisms (talk) 20:41, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
