Gay Valimont's photo

Can someone please add her photo to this page? RHTownsend (talk) 15:18, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah her name also needs to be linked and she doesn't even have an article at all. I'd do it myself but I'm still new to this and can't figure out how to edit info boxes :( BlakeLT (talk) 00:38, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a photo that was previously linked. It seems there are continuous claims of copyright/ownership. The current image is Public Domain. I'd create a page for her if I had all her info. I did email her campaign about it. 8ottle0fChocolateMilk (talk) 03:38, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you. I uploaded a public domain image earlier today. It has been released for use. I don't know why it got taken down. Chriswhat21 (talk) 03:42, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The photo is still not there :/ Did it get taken down again? BlakeLT (talk) 23:33, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any evidence that the image is public domain? The exact same image keeps getting uploaded. David O. Johnson (talk) 01:31, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It has the following clearance on Wikipedia from Wikicommons:

File:Gay Valimont ballotpedia image.jpg - Wikimedia Commons Starlighsky (talk) 19:30, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just because it is claimed that it is released under the Creative Commons license, it doesn't make it so.

That's the reason the same image keeps being removed and deleted (and the one currently there will likely be removed as well). David O. Johnson (talk) 00:35, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If information on what documentation is needed and who to forward it to, I would think that could help this situation Starlighsky (talk) 01:36, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Restrict edits to page

This is a special election and someone keeps editing things out for the democratic candidate making it harder to find information about the election and candidate. please restrict all edits. 2600:1700:2A24:2160:DD18:A551:6EDC:60FE (talk) 05:40, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
