Please add your own candidates. All candidates must be free and not fair use. As the generator includes a link to an anarchist related article, try to choose an image and caption text which specifically references anarchism. -- Cast ( talk) 00:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
On a related note, I've been trying to figure out the copyright status of these Japanese anarchist images for a while. They relate to Kotoku, Osugi & The Red Flag incident, and Sakai Toshihiko. If we can figure out their status, they'd be a good addition to the commons.-- Cast ( talk) 05:37, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm adding Oscar, but I don't feel his article is focused on Anarchism enough. Same thing with Gandhi. Maybe if it would be possible to get a scan of a cover for the essay, Soul of Man, it would be be the better link. If anyone can help out with that, I'd appreciate it.-- Cast ( talk) 23:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Sounds splendid. Two things I would propose is that the candidate images should be attributed to their creators (if possible) before they are passed, and that the captions should generally take the form "Description of the image -> comment about the topic". Some of the captions above don't identify the images, and given that the images are what is selected, not the topics, this might not be ideal. Skomorokh 23:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I am working on the image credits, should be done soon. Skomorokh 02:36, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Leaving out the marginal cases (Ama-gi, Gandhi, Wilde), we have 21 candidates for selected picture here. Can we start moving them into the User:Cast/Portal:Anarchism/Selected picture slots? There does not seem to be much holding this project back from going live, although I will continue adding to this stock so that we may be even more selective in quality and relevance.

I'm satisfied that we have done as much as could be expected with the current candidates, are you cool to implement this? Skomorokh 05:53, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I can't think of an appropriate write-up, but this is an interesting and high-res image that would balance the bias towards late-20th century images. Skomorokh 04:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
I support the 2 infoshop images and the Flores Magon brothers portrait, oppose the graveyards as not being visually engaging, oppose Mahkno for poor quality (though interesting), oppose Reggio in its current state because of the text and formatting, and no opinion on Mackay or Goldman.

I second the nomination of the Emile Pouget illustration and the portrait of Tolstoy, and will promote both as aesthetically and historically valuable illustrations of notable figures in anarchist history. I will use the presented portrait of Tolstoy, rather than the alternate. It's brighter color seems more aesthetically interesting against the black banners of the Anarchism Portal.-- Cast ( talk) 06:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
