Have the Kornbluth Brigade reached the point where protection of the page is justified? G. Timothy Walton (talk) 04:27, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The names, images, and associated information of the party leaders has been vandalised and needs fixing. 204.239.153.202 (talk) 21:25, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's been fixed by other editors and I've specified in the hidden note which image it's supposed to be. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 22:53, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have boldly changed the photo of Pierre Poilievre in this article. I recently started a discussion on the talk page for the Pierre Poilievre article about the photo used there. Of course, we do not need to use the same for this article. Arguably it is more important for this article to use a photograph that is recent, as this article concerns a future election. I hope this spurs a discussion or if I am incorrect about the copyright status of this image (a removal of the image). I note that it is labelled as "own work" and seems to be cropped from this larger image which appears to have been taken at a rally. I did a quick reverse image search and do not see versions of the image that predate it being uploaded to the commons. I hope I haven't missed anything.

My only objection is that it is not in focus. It is not a good quality photo. - Ahunt (talk) 23:54, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, neither is perfect. The old one is old, and a bit grainy, but focused. The new one is new, but he is squinting slightly, and it is not perfectly focused. Perhaps, the quality is fine for our uses as we are mainly using it as a small thumbnail in the article. It is always hard to find high quality photos when we only have what is available in the commons. Certainly, if something better becomes available we should use that, but among the choices we have...--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 00:34, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly a more neutral-looking photo than the old one. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 03:57, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The new one fits some criteria better (he looks at the camera and not slightly to the side), but it is slightly blurry.

I do think it's better since it's more recent however.

PPC has 0 seat in HoC and he got less than 5% of the vote last election, he's not even polled above 3% now Anonymousioss (talk) 00:20, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
