| == Steve Hodges == | |||
| Hello, | |||
| Hi, Steve Hodges gave permission for his official photo to be used on Misplaced Pages the day before the election. He lost the special election for congress so I doubt that we will have a photo of him available again. The note that he gave his permission to use the photo was in the boxes under the photo and on the talk page. without the one picture of him, the special congressional election for MO_08 at Misplaced Pages looks very biased for the man elected. I admit that I have trouble trolling through the wp jargon and do not understand all the image permissions, but it seems that to keep the unbiased nature of wp and because he sent written permission, the photo of Steve Hodges for Congress 2013 should be returned to Misplaced Pages, but by somebody with a greater understanding of wp permissions...like you perhaps. thank you! | |||

| :Hi, Anna! From what I can see, the issue here is that actually, the photo isn't the subject of the article, rather, the person shown in the photo is. The criterion you're referring to doesn't allow a non-free image if it shows the subject of sourced commentary, but only if it ''is itself'' the subject of the commentary. So for example, that image could only occur if there were something in the article talking about ''that specific photo'' of Heinrich Boere. (See ] for an example of a non-free image of a living person that can be used legitimately, as this picture itself is discussed in the article text.) I hope this helps!

| FPAS, I've reverted your blanking in violation of ], and noted my reversion in the log. While it may be that a consensus could develop to overturn my action, a few people commenting at ANI, who do not exceed at the time of this writing those voting to overturn the original close at the appropriate DRV, don't amount to a consensus. I encourage you to read and review the discussion on my talk page and in the DRV, rather than just the ANI. I assure you that my reasoning is in no way, shape, or form frivolous, and that I do strongly believe that by Misplaced Pages failing to honor our own inclusion guidelines with respect to Mr. Earl, especially during the U.S. holiday season, we do him a material disservice. Have you read last week's article on him? It calls for people to help him out, and that is precisely what I hope people do, and hope that Misplaced Pages editors understand they will be hindering if this otherwise notable gentleman's bio is deleted. ] (]) 15:20, 12 December 2013 (UTC) | |||

| Can we get your opinion regarding minor content dispute here. . My interpretation is that user: Jingiby is being 'liberal', to put it mildly, with his interpretation of the sources , jumping from the notion that there was no distinct Macedonian identity to an idea that somehow 'but Macedonia's location had been forgotten and designated in areas mostly outside the ancient Macedonian kingdom, vanishing completely after the Ottoman conquest".

| : I haven't had time to review either the sources or the exact context and appropriateness of their use in the article, but on first sight the text you object against at least doesn't sound quite implausible. As far as I know, the term Macedonia was indeed used in geographical senses widely disjoint from the original ancient meaning, and it may well have been the case that it was largely discontinued as a name of any concrete modern territory in common usage at some stage. I'd need more time to figure out if it really makes sense to stress such a claim at that point in the article though. ] ] 14:11, 13 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
