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)
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)
It was reverted and I understand that it wasn’t a great image. I still think we should find a better image. The image we have now is objectively better than the one we had then but this image still is terrible. Wcamp9 (talk) 02:24, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
If we are able to restore that image or put it up for restoration than it might look slightly better depending on how well it ends up looking Wcamp9 (talk) 02:26, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
I'll admit that it is surprising that we don't have a better image. True, we weren't all carrying cameras with super-computers attached in our pockets back then, but surely people took photos. I do think a photo of the band in concert would likely be best. CAVincent (talk) 02:36, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Again, i think that we may have to find a copyright free image or ask someone who has one to. The best image we have doesn’t even have all 3 band members Wcamp9 (talk) 02:38, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
At least it's not in a situation where you're forced to use a non-free image for bands like Joy Division, cause there's no copyright free image. That situation sucks.
Are there really no promo photos that are available (in the clause of Template:PD-US-1978-89}? Feels like we can find a early photo of nirvana, which would be better. Honestly, there might be more luck to try contacting Sub Pop and getting a possible photo licensed 49p (talk) 03:51, 3 September 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)
