Transferred from 31dot's talk page, and continued from the original discussion

There are many admins on this site. I'm trying you for a change, as you contacted me when I was trying to upload some images last week.

A few days ago, one who calls himself "Aatrek" deleted the four images I recently uploaded as possible replacements for the Valora Noland, Daras, and Ekosian pages. What was on these pages was dark and dingy, praise it though some may (because they prefer dark and dingy). I have been blocked from being able to do much on this wiki, and since I don't know how to go about things anyway, in most cases, that' okay as long as someone else can operate the controls for me.

I think it should be possible to choose an image for the three pages mentioned above which everyone, including me (who played Daras in the episode) agrees on. The prior image, uploaded by --- in Jan, 2012, was too dark but otherwise appropriate. I contributed the same but brighter to the general "add image" folder, "Daras from Patterns of Force.jpg", but then thought I should increase the resolution Thus, "Daras3.jpg". Could we go back to this image in one version or another? I truly dislike the picture which is on now.

About 1850, a few women activists began to push for a Women's Bill of Rights which included the right to vote. I know there is a very big need today for an "Actor's Bill of Rights", passed and signed by the president. The Screen Actor's Guild is inadequate in this regard.Valora Noland (talk) 17:35, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

First, I have moved this page here, as this should be discussed in one location instead of you "admin shopping" to find someone who will be more supportive of you. As things here are decided by consensus, that won't really help you much anyhow. I urge you to confine your discussion of this issue to this page.

Second, this is not the forum to advocate for legislation on actors' issues. Unless and until the law changes, the fair use doctrine permits use of images from Star Trek here if we are not profiting monetarily from them, which is the case.

Third, it has been explained that in the vast majority of circumstances, we do not permit altered images; only ones taken directly from the episodes. Images from the Blu-ray release can(and should) be used as they will have the best resolution possible from film made in the 1960s. 31dot (talk) 18:08, November 19, 2012 (UTC)
