A fact from Sheryl Cooper appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 October 2023 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Sheryl Cooper(pictured) and her daughter Calico beheaded Sheryl's husband in front of a live audience?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that Sheryl Cooper(pictured) and her daughter Calico beheaded Sheryl's husband in front of a live audience? Source: "...Sheryl Goddard; she played the sadistic head-severing nurse in his ’70s stage performances..."
[1]; "For all that, [Calico Cooper] remains very involved in her father's act, even appearing on stage as a nurse presiding over his 'beheading'."
(digitized version of a print feature)
Comment: This would be a great entry for late October/Halloween. I've written the hook so it's Easter-eggy but should be both grammatically and technically accurate (though the show still runs, past tense is accurate as reflecting the sources).
Sheryl's 25.9 copyvio number is attributable to direct quotation and Calico has a 50.7 attributable to direct quotation.-

I sometimes see images that have the notation that the image may be subject to personality rights. This is the type of picture that would be most subject to such rights. So I am not really clear what the relevance of that consideration is.-

I would say the nomination passes. I am just not sure about the personality rights of the image as I noted above. Looking for an expert second opinion. -

Commenting only with respect to personality rights, this is a photograph taken of a performer during a performance where tickets were sold to the public; it wouldn't be the sort of thing that would draw a reasonable expectation of privacy. There are probably
non-copyright restrictions that apply to the photograph (one probably can't use those images to endorse a product, for example), but I don't see any reason at the moment why this would pose a problem for hosting on Commons. —

Similarly, with respect to personality rights. Couldn't be used in an advertisement or in a context that implied an endorsement (that's the personality right issue), but no expectation of privacy. Commons hosts literally tens of thousands (probably hundreds of thousands) of images of performers on stage. I personally have taken over a thousand such. -
