[edit]

Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Kat Williamson  with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 04:30, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am deleting the above message in the manner prescribed by the guidelines (strike through) because you explained that your edit was an effort to add an image. I see that you later added an image but it was reverted because of possible copyright violation (not freely licensed). You asked whether I could change the image. I have done that once or twice but only when a freely licensed image was available through Wikipedia Commons. I will see if I can find an image on Commons or on the internet. Wikipedia requires a source that shows the image is freely licensed, not copyrighted. That can be a problem because the default is not to take a chance if the copyright status is not clear. Inserting a different image is not as much a potential problem as the copyright issue can be. Donner60 (talk) 02:39, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are ahead of me. I see you uploaded another picture to Commons but it also has been challenged as a potential copyright violation. I could find no freely licensed pictures, or even pictures which were apparently not covered by a copyright symbol on the bottom of a page, available on the internet. I don't know how to find such a picture otherwise. If you can get a picture uploaded to Commons that does not have a possible copyright problem, you can then copy the file name into the appropriate image line in the infobox in the article. As I suspected, finding a freely licensed picture has proven to be the real problem here. I am sorry I could not be more help but I think if you can find a satisfactory picture and upload it to Commons, you should be able to follow through with putting it in the article as I indicated.
