Why don't we just get a whole photo shoot?
That's actually not a bad idea, and there's a bunch of pics on this website that would quality.
There are two hurdles to prevent copyright infringement.
1. Obtaining permission of the admins (a release into the public domain would be nice).
2. Obtaining releases from the people pictured herein.
The point is, while it might not be the best photo ever, it's not a bad photo either.
It's not that it's bad. It's that there are many which are better.
If you want a new photo, then by all means change it.
Working on it... Anyone want to volunteer a photo? If so, post it here and PM me a full release so I can go post it.
But what is being done here is attempting to put a political spin on something that should be politically neutral.
Depends on who put up that photo, and why.
It's no better than the antis putting up photos meant to disparage the OC movement.
I'd argue it's quite different. There's absolutely nothing wrong with putting your best, provided one remains truthful, avoids slaughtering statistics, and propagating lies. I've yet to see antis do much to remain truthful.
I have no problem with publicity shoots, just keep them where they belong. Wikipedia is definitely not where they belong.
This would be true only if the individuals didn't want to be pictured there. If they don't mind showing their faces on Wikipedia, as evidenced by a release, then your statement has no merit, and I would ask that you not make such blanket statements on behalf of others without checking with them, first.
If you're simply speaking for yourself, then a simple "I wouldn't want my picture taken from OCDO and plastered on Wikipedia" will do. That's fine, and I don't think anyone here is suggesting this. I certainly am not.
In the meantime, I'm trying to encourage anyone who wishes to come forth with a better picture. If they do, then great. If they don't, that's fine, too. But let's not discourage them without giving them a chance to make the decision for themselves.
