FamilySearch Wiki talk:Image Use: Difference between revisions

{{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 its 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)  

:How would you determine that they have given permission?  [[User:Averyld|averyld]] 21:52, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

::Good question. My thinking is that the Research Wiki could set-up/follow similar guidelines as those used by Wikimedia Commons (see [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photographs_of_identifiable_people Commons:Photographs of identifiable people] and [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Consent Template:Consent]). --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 00:18, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

:::We have been working with legal on this question. Due to the lack of discussion, we will assume that the community doesn't appose this idea. But rather than open up the wiki to include any living individual with permission, we are opening it up to the groups that actually want this - societies and family history centers who want pictures of their facilities being actively utilized. The proposed exception allows for: "an image of a society, library, or family history center showing the facilities being actively used." How does that sound? -- [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:VasquezJL|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/VasquezJL|contribs]]}} 20:17, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
