File talk:Jean-Luc Picard, 2350s.jpg

Replacing w/o Discussion
In my view there was no reason to replace this picture. The old picture was a very rare makeup test of Patrick Stewart and was very hard to come by. Also I think it is somewhat bad form to simply upload on top of a pre-existing picture without any sort of discussion. Unless there is a very good reason for replacing the old picture with this quite common screenshot, I plan to reupload the original as soon as I can locate it again. -FleetCaptain 11:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The old one is still archived on the image page - however, if the image is used to show "Picard with hair", then it is obviously better to use an image that shows "Picard with hair" instead of one showing "Patrick Stewart as Picard with hair"... :) -- Cid Highwind 11:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


 * the very good reason for replacing the rare photo is that we do not own the rights to that rare photo, while a screen cap falls under memory alpha's permitted sources. Deevolution 05:25, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

The photo is a makeup test from an episode and can be used under Fair Use. It would be exactly the same as File:AndorianGod.jpg, in my opinion. As CH stated, the original picture is in the file history I will upload under a new name; will probably keep it out of the Picard article but will most likely place in the  article. -FleetCaptain 11:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Please note that when using something as "fair use", you have to cite its source, and give a reasonable rationale (reason for use). If those are not met, then the picture cannot be used.  -- Sulfur 11:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good. -FleetCaptain 12:03, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, the problem I see is that this also isn't Picard with hair, but Picard with an odd thing on his face. At least, I noticed that part first. Can't we find a pic that doesn't have that problem?
 * And I don't see why it can't be used in the Picard article, as it is a reasonable facsimile of what Picard looked like in that time period.
 * And that is a reasonable rationale to me. - Commodore Sixty-Four (talk) 09:15, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
