Disputing Picture
Okay, I am disputing this because the picture can't be replaced without having no picture of Brian Pittman on this article, since the other one was tagged too. It seems every picture I use somehow has a problem. I was told once that live pictures are okay. So if these live pictures are okay, can someone please tell me in their own words what is okay or what template or words can make these pictures okay. I don't want to sound mean, but all these templates are not exactly perfectly clear. Each template leads to more articles that apply to it, and I just wish someone would say exactly in their own words what needs to be done. That would really really help me. People ask me to improve these articles, and I could do that better with some help from one of the people who have been tagging my pictures. I know I am supposed to read these templates and articles and all, but considering where they all lead, I am just asking if someone would please spell it out simply. Thank you, and God bless.RoryS89 21:38, 26 June 2007 (UTC)RoryS89
 * It is a complicated area to be sure. It's difficult to make the templates clearer because each image has to be judged on its own situation.  The basic rule is that if it's not your picture, you can't use it.  (Don't panic, that's just the starting point!)  So if you want to be safe, see them live and take a photo.
 * If that's not an option, you can look for a picture someone else took that is either already "licensed" or that you can get the taker to "license". "License" here is like "permission", and it has to be a special kind of permission to be used here at Wikipedia.  The best one is called GFDL, although there are others that qualify.  Wikipedia's main copyright policy page has a lot more information on this.
 * If you can't come up with a licensed photo, you can consider Wikipedia's policy on nonfree images, sometimes called "fair use". However, fair use doesn't work if the picture is just to show what somebody looks like, so you probably can't do that here.  Hope this helps. --Butseriouslyfolks 05:39, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
