People who knows me personally outside Misplaced Pages, don't know that I am Misplaced Pages editor and its not like that I can leave a will, that my name should be updated here once I passed away.

Adding image to an entry
I had added an image to the entry for JarrahTree as they would not have wanted a photo of themselves published. They were a long-standing member and board member of our community, but another user has removed it without comment. As this is my first time posting an obituary, I'm assuming I have done something wrong? Could someone let me know why it might not have been appropriate for me to use the image? Thank you in anticipation. AlphaLemur (talk) 08:53, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- It's OK ... I'm blind so obviously am not the best person to comment directly, but I'd say that no image at all is better than anything besides an image of the person in a case like this. I made a further edit to the obituary (among others) because it's not just Wikimedia Australia that will mourn his loss but the entire Misplaced Pages community. The politics between the English Misplaced Pages and Wikimedia chapters can be interesting but that's a completely different topic. For now, know that I can probably speak for everyone here in saying that we'd much rather you let the community here know (as you did) than been less bold out of fear of doing something wrong.
