thread_title: Ambiguity

message: I removed this section of material:
: Many fans of the Bond/Moneypenny dynamic were extremely disappointed; no other couple had portrayed 007 and Moneypenny quite as well as Brosnan and Bond did. No actress has thus far been cast to fill the role and for the first time since the film series began.
As it was extremely subjective and not NPOV, and reworded the last sentence into the remaining paragraph.Largo1965 21:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Miss Moneypenny by Samantha Bond.jpg

message: With regard to this edit:
*As per Fair use - no free equivalent - criteria is met, and this is a valid image.  If there is another image available, we could use that, but there isn't.
*The MOS, in Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Images states:  "It is very common to use an appropriate representative image for the lead of an article, often as part of an infobox."  Given that the very first sentence of the article is "Samantha Bond (born 27 November 1961) is an English actress best known for her roles as Miss Moneypenny " this would make it an exemplary image to use.
*I can find no recommendation or guide that states we should not use actors or actresses "in role" as part of the infobox image.
*Bond is inherently linked to the Moneypenny role - see these links here where she is specifically introduced as (former) Miss Moneypenny in the BT adverts
*I see you've just left a message on my talk page.  You are correct to state that "I know that this image has been tried on this page before and it's been removed. At least a couple times" - because it's been removed by you (and only you) each time, but added by different users.  That suggests that there may be a fair use argument after all, and that consensus is to include the image, therefore (again) that Fair use is justified.

replies: text: You didn't quote the entire sentence regarding free equivalents.  The first sentence reads: "Non-free content cannot be used in cases where a free content equivalent, with an acceptable quality sufficient to serve the encyclopedic purpose, is available or could be created." (emphasis mine)  Bond is still alive and a free image could still be made of her.  Therefore, the image does not meet the fair use guidelines.   Dismas|(talk) 10:38, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Note: This discussion is almost identical to another discussion at Talk:Kelly Monaco#Use of Kelly Monaco Image from Sam McCall.  In that, another editor (who is an admin who deals with images quite a bit both here and at Commons) agrees that images from a role that an actor played cannot be used in the article for the actor while that actor is still alive.

replies: text: A vast majority of soap opera actors use their character pictures as theyère the only pictures we have of them uploaded. As long as itès noted that its a picture of the actor portraying the character, there shouldnèt be any problem or confusion. Rusted AutoParts 19:05, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: How is NFCC#1 settled in those cases when a free image could still be created?  Dismas|(talk) 19:20, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know, if the picture is created, it's created, we can substitute it out once it's uploaded. But technically, we have a picture of Bond, despite her playing a character, so we should at least use it for the time being. Rusted AutoParts 19:33, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello to anyone who is interested!  I just worked all day on this page and completely overhauled it to be better organized, more readable,and less like a fan wrote it.  It previously read like marketing material, so I wanted it to be more neutral.  I also added citations and more Wiki links.  I think it is much better now, as it is now closer to the way most actor/actress pages are set up.  Please let me know if you have further suggestions.  Enjoy!  nycdi (talk) 05:58, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
