Picture

What is the best way to get a picture added. I have recently been updating all of the pages for people running for Governor in the US, and notice that many have pictures. Any suggestions?asdf (talk) 17:58, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps contacting his campaign and requesting the use on Wikipedia of one of their images. I haven't been able to find any free-use or fair-use images the licensing of which would allow them to be used in this article. Qqqqqq (talk) 14:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What kind of permission would they have to give to satisfy Wikipedias standards?asdf (talk) 08:50, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry; didn't see this. I guess if you do upload an image file to Wikipedia, you'd want to include in the image description a quote from someone at the campaign granting permission to use the image on Wikipedia. I think it can be pretty simple. Let me know if I can help. Qqqqqq (talk) 06:56, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BLP tag

I just tagged the page for a possible BLP violation because of the lack of sources. The controversies section is completely unsourced save for a PDF file that links to an investigative report. I'm sure the sources are out there, but since I know nothing about Oxendine, I think someone a bit more qualified should have a go at it. Pinkadelica (talk) 07:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken out all of the overly passive tones. Most of this is not sourced. There are like two newspaper articles, and neither include as many details as are in the wiki. Any suggestions?asdf (talk) 07:32, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Georgian in lead

I have removed this MOSBIO. --Tom (talk) 13:07, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Campaign advertisement

The Political Positions section seems to have been copied verbatim from campaign pamphlets. I'll change the title to "Gubernatorial Campaign Platform", but most if it will need to be rewritten. --Electric-Oatmeal

Lumbee?

Is there any sort of backing for putting that next to his nationality--or including a nationality at all? I'm interested to see any sort of citation for that, considering I've met him personally. 99.12.147.142 (talk) 01:01, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
