::Yes. I think the wiki needs to be clear that when a non-free or copyrighted image is used (because no suitable free image is available) how the "permission to use" should be documented. This page [[FamilySearch Wiki:Image use]] only mentions that non-free or copyrighted images should be avoided, not how they can be used. [[FamilySearch Wiki:Copyrights]] states that contributors must have received written consent of the copyright owner to use their work. Is it enough to say that this has been received or should it be documented, and if so how? See for example {{wpd|Wikipedia:Non-free content#Explanation of policy and guidelines}}. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] ([[User talk:Cottrells|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]) 13:24, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

== Images of persons - proposed change of policy ==
{{Policy Proposal|section=post}}
The [[Wiki Community Council]] has discussed the suggestion of amending the image use policy to include a further exception of "images including identifiable individuals can only be used if those individuals have consented to it's publication". We would like to hear from anybody who has views about this proposed change either for or against. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 21:05, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
