Projecting a new image

Hello there,

I am seeking consensus of posting a new image of Julia Gillard which may be more appropriate for the portrayal. The access link is https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Prime_Minister,_Dr._Manmohan_Singh_meeting_the_Prime_Minister_of_Australia,_Ms._Julia_Gillard,_at_the_ceremonial_reception,_at_Rashtrapati_Bhavan,_in_New_Delhi_on_October_17,_2012_(cropped).jpg#mw-jump-to-license. Just make the replacement if the consensus is reached, thanks! Best, Apollovvv Apollovvv (talk) 13:19, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Personally I would support a change to the infobox image, as the current one is quite an awkward angle and I don't feel it is the best photo out of all we have available. It is common to use official portraits for office holders if available, and in this case, Gillard's office PM portrait is available and I would argue for that to be used instead

Goodreg3 (talk) 21:47, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Provided that the official PM portrait has all the right copyright credentials and there is no issue on that front (rather than somebody attributing the wrong copyright, necessitating a deletion of the image from WikiCommons), I'm all in favour of using the official PM image on the main infobox. TheScrubby (talk) 21:23, 25 December 2023 (UTC) I agree with the above. Bduke (talk) 22:58, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Implemented: after consensus. JackTheSecond (talk) 10:02, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the Queens last visit in Australia: in what was almost certainly the monarch's final tour Down Under, due to her advanced age

Change to in what was the monarch's final tour Down Under, due to her advanced age 86.162.44.220 (talk) 20:48, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Implemented a variant on the suggestion, and updated the source (the original one didn't actually mention Gillard at all). JackTheSecond (talk) 23:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove page protection

I think that it's time to remove the protection from this page as she is no longer the PM. 219.77.28.65 (talk) 04:07, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The protection likely remains necessary, especially as the article is about a prominent woman within scope of WP:BLP. If you'd like to edit the article you can register an account. Nick-D (talk) 01:42, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
