Finding the appropriate picture

[edit]

Would someone please advise whether File:Calhan High School Senior Classroom by David Shankbone.jpg appropriately represents the subject of this article? Obvious the current picture depicts a room full of teens, but it contains nothing sexual. Should we instead use a picture depicting at least a mildly sexual act (with clothes on)? A picture of a teen couple? Something suggestive? After all, we're not censored! Ragettho (talk) 05:59, 2 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

File:Calhan High School Seniors by David Shankbone.jpg might be better... Ragettho (talk) 06:11, 2 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Of just those two images, I'd stick with the classroom. It's teens being teens, in their natural habitat. The other looks like teens posing for a picture. --Pi zero (talk) 12:55, 2 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
I think I'll change the photo to File:YoungCoupleEmbracing-20070508.jpg. File:Young couple in love.jpg might also work. Nobody is posing in either photo. Ragettho (talk) 16:02, 2 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Nevermind... I'll just stick to the classroom picture. I figured that since this article focuses on masturbation as an individual act, and not necessarily on relationships, a photo of teens not engaging in any romantic or sexual activity would be most appropriate.

Why not just pick a photo of someone actually masturbating instead? Isn't that what the main topic is about? 96.251.84.10 (talk) 20:19, 4 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

You can't use a photo of identifiable high school teenagers at school to illustrate an unrelated topic like masturbation. That's typically a case of personality right infringement. I would advice using another image. --Lilyu (talk) 10:27, 8 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hmmm....yes this may be problematic. I'm flagging this discussion to get the attention of other Wikinewsies. If this is a violation of personality rights, then I think the image should be removed. Legal issues should supersede the archive policy in this case. Ragettho (talk) 22:53, 6 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Let's use this instead; there should be no personality rights issues then. fetch·comms 05:23, 13 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
It's always been a big deal that we don't change pictures on archived articles. If there's a question of removing the image, I'd suggest getting opinions on whether, and how, to do so at the water cooler; certainly adding a different picture isn't acceptable. --Pi zero (talk) 07:25, 13 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
I think we should just remove the image, without having to replace it. Ragettho (talk) 01:58, 14 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
