Chowbok has a history of removing fair use images from many pages, even when the images are fully sensible content for those pages. He himself identifies the removed pictures as fair use. It seems as if Chowbok is following some kind of legal agenda rather than creating accurate and informative page entries.
I believe Chowbok cannot be objective in this issue, as he works for a company whose income is based on paid distribution of copyrighted images, Playboy Enterprises. (This is his own statement, from his personal page.)
The ongoing discussion is on the Linda Hamilton Talk Page.
I want Chowbok to cease all copyright or fair use image edits.
I would like someone involved in the administration of Wikipedia to confirm that it is not only acceptable, but sensible and reasonable, to post images of characters on actors' pages.
Having viewed the discussion, including the picture of Sarah Connor in the Linda Hamilton may not be appropriate unless ther is a section devoted to her role as Sarah Connor. However, fair use images can be included in articles if there is no other free image that can be used. I would encourage both of you to read Wikipedia:Non-free content#Fair use law. I would like both of you to make an short statement to clarify details-- Phoenix 15 19:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Very good arguements but I am here to help you reach a compromise rather than make a decision myself. Chowbock, it is possible that a free image could be created but it probably won't be. I would like you both to read WP:IGNORE as it may help you reach a compromiise. As I said above, I do not think a picture of Sarah Connor should be included unless there is a section about her role as Sarah Connor. Again, I am here to help you reach a compromise and these are just suggestion. I would like you to try and reach a compromise yourselves here. I will watch and comment where needed-- Phoenix 15 17:59, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
There are really two reasons why the image has not been included:
So the first thing we need to do is decide that fair use is okay or else find a free image. We then need to write a section on Linda Hamilton's role as Saraf Connor. Of course, A section on Sarah Connor isn't desperatly needed so the image can be included but would be desireable-- Phoenix 15 18:03, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
