What's up with that photo? It's a bit strange to have that in the lead considering how many photos and videos of her are on the internet.Thekua (talk) 10:42, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you know of a suitable photo which is free of copyright or suitably licensed you can upload it to Wikimedia Commons and use it on this article. --David Biddulph (talk) 11:12, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the image for now. I had an issue with the name of the artist being used on the image, in the infobox as well as the image lead... hints at self promotion. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 12:07, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@DiplomatTesterMan: I do understand your concern. I am sorry to write the artist name on the caption (we can remove the artist name rather than removing the whole image). IMO, every artist write their name on the art and i think it's casual. Can we re-add the image back to the article as it is only the free licensed photograph of Maithili Thakur on the Wikimedia Commons? Kind regards, — Tulsi Bhagat (contribs | talk) 09:40, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Tulsi Bhagat, I checked and found that there are other sketches on the English Wikipedia which have the signature of the artist and are used in the respective articles - File:Robert A. Millikan sketch 1931.png - is one example. Well go ahead and place the Maithili Thakur sketch back. It is upto you whether you want to put it in the infobox or in the body. I would recommend the body of the article or maybe even create a gallery section. There is no harm in leaving the infobox empty until something else comes along. Then again up to you. Also, I would recommend using the term "fanart" as compared to "portrait".
If anyone else has problems such as the above user Thekua, you can address those issues as needed. DTM (talk) 06:25, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
