Images of Nirvana problem

For reasons unknown there is a problem with photos of Nirvana on Misplaced Pages. The only photo that has been cleared to be on Misplaced Pages was uploaded in 2005 and its not actually that good of a photo. Its amazing that since 2005 there has been absolutely no other photos of Nirvana to be cleared for use on Misplaced Pages.--Excel23 (talk) 02:02, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

I know. We might as well ask people who have images of them to clear copyright on the images or use a fair use image. Wcamp9 (talk) 00:19, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
Ok, this is not the best photo but I found this. Wcamp9 (talk) 23:45, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
I'd call that far worse than the image it replaced. I'm not reverting quite yet, to give others a chance to speak up. CAVincent (talk) 00:33, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Noting that if this image is reverted, the Nirvana discography page should probably be reverted as well. CAVincent (talk) 01:40, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Main Image Order

The main image currently says " From left to right: Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl." although the image shows from left to right: Dave Grohl, Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic. Kessawessa (talk) 10:29, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

change "figurehead band of generation x" to "leading band of generation x" or "headline act of generation x" or "leading act of generation x" or "voice of generation x" 60.240.226.130 (talk) 02:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done for now: No reason given for the change, and it should decisively choose one option to implement. The argument would be strongest if backed by reliable sources that support the preferred statement. Left guide (talk) 03:10, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
