Aliza Ayaz
Hi, many thanks for your edits to Aliza Ayaz. The article could really do with an image for the infobox. The best way to do this is to upload it to Wikimedia Commons and licence it (so that it can be used with an attribution).

It needs to be a new, previously unpublished photo, and the best thing to do is for the person who takes the photo (and hence holds the copyright) to do the uploading and licencing. It's also important NOT to add any limitations such as "only for use on Wikipedia", "only for non-commercial use" (etc). It must be available for any use, commercial or not. The uploader may be asked for further information or evidence by a Wikimedia Commons reviewer before it's accepted.

Let me know if you choose to do this and succeed. I can then link the file to the Wikipedia article, if you're unsure. Regards,  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   13:01, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Note: Don't upload an image to Wikipedia itself.  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   13:03, 27 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Will try and do this but struggling to access Wikimedia commons from here. Any other ways? Also her LinkedIn seems to contain most of her work and some of her social media. I have seen some articles have social media profiles linked to their Wikipedia pages. Not sure if this would be appropriate (and/or could possibly help with a photo to use)?

 * A licensed image requiring attribution uploaded to Wikimedia Commons is the best route. No, I wouldn't advise using images that have already been published, eg in social media, and you can't directly link such an image to the article; they need to be uploaded. Wikimedia Commons also accepts public domain images (but may require proof that the source really is public domain, if it's not a new, previously-unpublished image). Wikipedia itself only allows non-free images, and they assume that it is possible to obtain a free image for a BLP (biography of a living person), and will otherwise delete the image.


 * In the past, people have sent me images and I've uploaded them, but it gets messy, long drawn out, and will probably require the copyright holder to contact Wikimedia Commons ("OTRS", a ticketing system) with permission to use the image.


 * A last note: give the image a descriptive title.  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   14:06, 27 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Regarding external links, I notice that Aliza doesn't have a web site. Does she have a university profile page? If not, maybe pick one social media site and use that? Then see if there are any objections to the inclusion.  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   14:40, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the information. Really helpful. In terms of where you say "may be pick one social media sit and use that..." where do you mean I should add that? Her LinkedIn and Instagram are the best bets as they are directly managed by her. She does not have her own external website outside of this as there hasn't been a need.

 * I'll create a section at the bottom called "External links" and add her LinkedIn page, since she doesn't have a web site. I'll also add it to the info box. Other editors may object, but we'll see how it goes.  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   12:23, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Yahoo! Well done. I'll link that to the infobox and cross my fingers that nobody jumps on it and objects. Regards,  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   18:13, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
