Talk:Pope Benedict XVI/Pics

message: ===First Picture===
When you unprotect the article, I have the first picture of him as pope:
*I would also include the official photo of His Holiness that the Vatican will take of him in the next few days, but move this to the article about his selection in the conclave. Zscout370 17:37, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for motivating me, I wrote the article in H. wiki. :) BTW can someone make the photo be in the beginning of this article? I hate messing with templates. Alensha 18:40, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: === Image Copyright ===
(I'd have posted in the previous Image section, but as that has been duplicated several times I didn't want to get in the way of cleaning up).
I don't think a Reuters image counts as fair use, though it's been tagged that way. Hopefully the current image can be replaced as quickly as possible with an actual fair use image, such as any official photograph the Vatican releases. — Asbestos | Talk 21:25, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: === Copyvio Images ===
I removed a slew of copyvio images from the article.  Images from the Holy See would be preferable as a legitimate fair use claim can be made, ripping off AP and Reuters images from various web sites is not a legitimate fair use claim.  --Wgfinley 02:21, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyvio Images 

message: Apparently Cantus is insisting on inserting his various AP and Reuters images ripped off from various websites, removing the copyvio tags from those images and then putting them back in the article.  Despite messages on the images and on his talk page he isn't discussing them so I encourage their continued removal.  They are clear copyright violations.  --Wgfinley 03:32, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ive reported this person on vandalism in progress.  The user is also attacking legit images, changing the tags to say that they are the copyright violations.  Hopefully an admin will get involoved.  Ive left plenty of evidence on the vandal-in-progress page. -Husnock 04:03, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize if the picture I put back in of the young Ratzinger is copyrighted.  I thought it was taken out as part of the continual editorializing additions.  Tell me if I am wrong, and I will not restore that image. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 04:17, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Which of these two images do people feel should be at the top of the article?  They both now “appear” to be free of copyright infringements.

# My vote is for the second one.  You can see more of him and he seems to be in a better mood! No changes will be made until opinions are heard to avoid making people upset and causing edit wars -Husnock 06:10, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  The resemblance is disturbing. --Paradigm 10:24, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

text: Thanks all for the calm discussion about this.  I switched the photos.  I agree that when the Vatican puts out an official one, that should go in ASAP. -Husnock 07:06, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: someone keep's changing it to the empire from starwars. 
:You cannot just lock the picture. Just keep watching and revert, --SqueakBox 18:40, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
**You can lock the specific picture from it being changed, but someone can always upload a different one, under a new name and replace the original image on the article. Zscout370 19:22, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You can only lock articles, not individual pictures in an article. Anyway, I've banned 4 anonymous vandals in the last half hour from editing for 24 hours, so hopefully that might cut down on the vandalism for a while. -- Arwel 19:35, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: === Is this An Alright Picture? ===
I added a copywrite, as it is from AP. I am unsure if this is all that needs to be done, and if this picture cannot be in the article I will take it down. Rangeley 04:06, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is this An Alright Picture? 

message: Okay...hello everyone.  Two days ago there was a nasty edit war about the picture on the front page of this article.  I didnt think about it at the time, but there were certain violations of the Three revert rule.  I might have been one of them, but who knows.  Anyway- after all that happened, a vote was held to which at least 5 or 6 people responded.  It was agreed that the "face front" picture wasnt very flattering and that another picture should be used.  Since then, two more photos have been posted which looked good.  NOW- the same photo that was removed tow days ago is back up on the front page  Will this madness never end.  I thbik there might be one or two users who keep on putting it up there, but ALOT of people have said they dont like it as the Pope looks rather cold and stern.  I will not change it again to avoid another edit war.  But, lets just agree on one picture and stick with it.  In my opinion, the picture up there right now shouldn't be it. -Husnock 20:56, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture Wars 

message: Can't we use a different one in that box with all his details? His eyes look terrible, his appearance is awful, there must surely be some more appropriate pictures of him taken soon after he became Pope.
Yeah, we will change it, when they release the official picture tomorrow. Rangeley 22:10, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking about pictures, look at this one. Zscout370 00:17, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Has any official portrait been released yet (sitting on a throne etc.)? The ones shown surely cannot be official- they are not regal enough! There was a BBC programme on today, and showed many pictures I have not senn and am unable to find. I assume they will be released shortly.--'s-Gravenhage 19:06, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there's a need to hurry with the pictures. He was only elected 5 days ago and inaugurated today. ;) --Maxl 19:20, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: OK, folks.  The Palpatine picture is amusing, but inappropriate.  I'm taking it down. Looks like somebody beat me to it. Popefelix 14:50, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Palpatine 

message: Is this image fully sourced properly? Cantus raised doubts, I clarified sources further, but If we are missing anything else we might as well fix it rather then go back to that terrible picture cantus keeps putting up where he looks half dead. Rangeley 02:14, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I thought we were going to get a new one after he had his mass of inaugaration. It's still the same horrible picture.
*I know the picture sucks, but we do not have a PD photo yet. I have not heard word from the Vatican, yet. Zscout370 18:36, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
