== Photos ==

I've just [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Enrique_Tarrio&diff=1174093788&oldid=1174087480 swapped] the photos in the article. My reasoning for this is: news stories on Tarrio's conviction commonly use photos of him wearing a sunglasses and a hat, and the New York Times states that he is [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Enrique_Tarrio&diff=1174093788&oldid=1174087480 "rarely seen without his uniform of sunglasses and a baseball cap"]. As such the photo I've moved into the infobox is more representative of his appearance. I've also swapped out what appears the files at Commons to have been a photoshopped version of a photo where he had allowed himself to be photographed posing very formally in front of the Confederate flag - why the flag was removed is unclear. I've added the original with the flag. [[User:Nick-D|Nick-D]] ([[User talk:Nick-D|talk]]) 08:29, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
:Actually, I see that this was discussed at [[Talk:Enrique Tarrio/Archive 2#Propaganda image must go]], with concerns being raised that the flag was also photoshopped, which seems likely. I've swapped the blank background photo in. I have no concerns with being reverted outright here if other editors think that the result of the 2021 discussion over the most suitable infobox photo hold.

:::Restored the image with the gray background, as previously discussed.

==== Survey ====
*'''B''', The photo shows what he looked like doing things he was known to do. Additionally, despite the fact that he is wearing sunglasses and a hat he is clearly distinguishable. [[User:TarnishedPath|''TarnishedPath'']]<sup>[[User talk:TarnishedPath|talk]]</sup> 07:35, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''B''' is more representative and less promotional.  [[:File:Enrique Tarrio - International Chairman Proud Boys (retouched).jpg|The alternative]] has been digitally altered from [[:File:Enrique Tarrio - International Chairman Proud Boys.jpg|its original]] by Wikipedians and is thus inappropriate. [[User:Feoffer|Feoffer]] ([[User talk:Feoffer|talk]]) 07:56, 18 November 2023 (UTC)  
::To clarify, it is inappropriate for Wikipedians to alter a problematic upload from an SPA with no reliable sourcing so as to remove evidence that the upload was "obviously photoshopped".  [[User:Feoffer|Feoffer]] ([[User talk:Feoffer|talk]]) 13:40, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

::::::Per [[WP:NOR]], '''It is not acceptable for an editor to use photo manipulation to distort the facts or position illustrated by an image. Manipulated images should be prominently noted as such.

*'''A''' per [[Talk:Enrique Tarrio/Archive 2#Propaganda image must go|past consensus]], and my arguments there — in brief, that we prefer higher-quality images where the subject's face is not obscured (such as by a hat and sunglasses). Removing a background (that was clearly photoshopped into the [[:File:Enrique Tarrio - International Chairman Proud Boys.jpg|original upload]], I might add) does not make the image unsuitable — in fact, in this case, it makes it more suitable for use. Feoffer's comment that digitally altering a photograph automatically makes it inappropriate is not at all supported by policy or common practice. [[User:GorillaWarfare|GorillaWarfare]]&nbsp;(she/her&nbsp;•&nbsp;[[User talk:GorillaWarfare|talk]]) 17:28, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''A''' has everything we want in a lead photo; subject clear and not obscured (other than the hand on his face), looking towards the camera. B has some obscuration due to the hat and sunglasses in the midst of a more chaotic scene and he's not looking to the camera, making it a good body photo. &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Muboshgu|Muboshgu]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Muboshgu#top|talk]]) 17:42, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''A''' is more suitable as a lead image, since it clearly shows the subject's face (it would be even better if we had one where the hand isn't obscuring part of it, but so far as I can find we don't have a free image of him like that.) B is more suitable for use in the article body. [[User:Seraphimblade|Seraphimblade]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Seraphimblade|Talk to me]]</sup></small> 19:22, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''A''' Clear view of his face. Option B has him wearing a hat, sunglasses, and not looking towards the camera. [[User:Some1|Some1]] ([[User talk:Some1|talk]]) 00:51, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''B''' Per the thread above, this is the appearance Tarrio is best known for according to the New York Times. News articles on him commonly use photos depicting him in similar attire attire rather than a business suit. [[User:Nick-D|Nick-D]] ([[User talk:Nick-D|talk]]) 03:52, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''B''' I think that both photos have strengths and weaknesses. But I find photo B better represents what Tarrio is best known for. The cap and the sunglasses are part of his image, and the tactical gear, the walkie talkie, and especially the strangely colored American flag patches, one on his cap which has an assault rifle on it, and the other has a reference to [[5.11 Tactical]]. [[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] ([[User talk:Cullen328|talk]]) 03:46, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''B''' Like the last RFC we had on this, I think B is a better photo. In its unedited form, the previous version of A was ''clearly'' intended as propaganda and therefore inappropriate. But I do still think that A, even after editing, is intended by Tarrio to promote a certain image of himself (namely, as the leader of an ordinary conservative organization and not, y'know, a fascist gang) and therefore has [[WP:POV]] issues. I also am not a huge fan of using an edited image of Tarrio no matter how well it shows his face. [[User:LokiTheLiar|Loki]] ([[User talk:LokiTheLiar|talk]]) 04:10, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*:I also want to point out that, while people have been saying that A is a "higher quality" image, from a pure image editing perspective that's not actually true. They're very similar image quality pictures, to the point that trying to pick out which one is better is not really possible. [[User:LokiTheLiar|Loki]] ([[User talk:LokiTheLiar|talk]]) 01:32, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''A''', the key purpose of an infobox image is to portray the subject. What he's "best known for" is both subjective and irrelevant. No objection to the use of B elsewhere in the article. [[User:VQuakr|VQuakr]] ([[User talk:VQuakr|talk]]) 04:49, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''B''', the other photo is still nothing but propaganda regardless if the background flag has been blanked out. It's fruit from a poisoned tree. The photo is so bad that it shouldn't even be considered a reasonable choice in the first place and I'm really disappointed in the people who are picking A now and in the past. Clarity, resolution, face not obscured, face looking at camera, and all these trivial matters are ''ridiculous'' arguments to override one of the [[Wikipedia:Five pillars|Five Pillars]] of Wikipedia: that we are [[Wikipedia:Five_pillars#WP:5P2|neutral]]. You are being blinded by the details and not seeing the bigger picture. Choosing ''A'' is basically saying "Hey, controversial people, send us your most biased picture possible that sends the rosiest message it can about you and so long as it's professionally/technically well done, we'll use it!". The fact that some of you supporting ''A'' are administrators is awful are severely calls into question your judgement as far as I'm concerned. An article without a picture would be better than using ''A''.  [[User:Jason Quinn|Jason Quinn]] ([[User talk:Jason Quinn|talk]]) 07:40, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''B''' - scrolling through Google images indicates this is what he looks like, this is who he is. The other option looks like he might have been sitting in court waiting to be sentenced to 22 years.[[User:Isaidnoway|<b style="font-family:Times New Roman; color:black"> ''Isaidnoway'' </b>]][[User talk:Isaidnoway|<b style="font-family:Times New Roman; color:#FF5F1F">''(talk)''</b>]] 🍁 23:50, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*I still prefer image '''A''', as per the original discussion. Arguments about WP not using digitally altered images is nonsense; I spent over a decade editing images here. Many are infobox or primary images. Feel free to post any requests on my talk page. @[[User:Feoffer|Feoffer]] I'd be happy to correct any image editing artifacts but I couldn't spot any. Are you sure you were looking at the [https:/upwiki/wikipedia/commons/3/32/Enrique_Tarrio_-_International_Chairman_Proud_Boys_%28retouched%29.jpg full-resolution] image?

*'''A''' I'm not really fond of either image and if that's the case on a RFC question about an infobox image I'll just lean back on the previous consensus choice. [[User:Nemov|Nemov]] ([[User talk:Nemov|talk]]) 04:16, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Weak support B''' - Agree with [[User:Feoffer]]'s comments about B being "''more representative and less promotional''". At the same time though, I agree with other editor's comments about B being "obscured". I'm not sure either of these options are great. [[User:NickCT|NickCT]] ([[User talk:NickCT|talk]]) 14:27, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''B''' More representative of what the subject is notable for. Subject's face is not obscured, other than by the sunglasses.

*{{u|Jason Quinn}}, it appears to be you who are having problems maintaining neutrality. Your comments make it clear that you want the subject of the article to be presented in a more negative light, and you think photo B does that. This is not our purpose. The article tells people who the subject is and they make up their own minds on what they read. Regarding how you're {{tq|really disappointed in the people who are picking A now}} and now {{tq|question [our] judgement}}, remember to [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]] and [[WP:FOC|focus on content, not on contributors]]. &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Muboshgu|Muboshgu]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Muboshgu#top|talk]]) 16:38, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
:*I did not suggest I want him portrayed in a negative light so your reply is off-base. What I have suggested (and stated before) is photo ''A'' was deliberately uploaded to portray him in a positive light and that it is non-neutral. I do not think removal of the flag background solved this. The single-purpose account that uploaded this photo likely has directly affiliation with the article's subject which compounds the question of this photo's neutral status. But let's now talk about photo ''B'' too: it's literally of picture of him in public doing the kind of thing that made him newsworthy. In a very real sense, it is objectively a fair representation of him that is connected to his reason for being notable by our standard; saying so requires no judgment call regarding whether it puts him in a more positive or negative light. So the choices presented here are between a photo of him doing that for which he made national headlines, and a derivative image (hence "fruit from a poisoned tree" comment) of what is perhaps literally among most obvious propaganda photos imaginable. The former is a reasonable neutral choice whereas the latter is not. The technical properties suggested for choosing ''A'' do not fix its inherent non-neutrality. Regarding the rest of your comment, good faith and poor judgement are not mutually exclusive ideas. I have clearly stated the arguments why I believe this image violates our neutrality pillar. This is not a circumstance where I think the arguments on each side are comparably sound. The technical and trivial reasons people are suggesting to prefer ''A'', if allowed to sway neutrality questions, are an existential threat to the trustworthiness of Wikipedia itself. We should not tolerate such obvious manipulation of articles by the subjects themselves, let alone embrace it by groupthink. So, even assuming good faith, I still maintain supporting ''A'' is extremely poor judgement that demonstrates a very grave misunderstanding of the kind of neutral encyclopedia originally envisioned for Wikipedia and I do hold administrators to a higher standard for having a deep understanding of not only our policies but most importantly their purpose.

:::::::::::{{replyto|Feoffer}} I don't know and don't care the specific reasons given last time for deletion but using a NFCC images for simple identification of a living person is rarely, if ever acceptable even when alternatives have not been found despite an extensive search. There has been some suggestions it should be okay when extensive searches have been made for a free images and for whatever reason it's difficult or impossible to to photograph the subject e.g. they're known to avoid or publicity or are locked up by some despotic regime which doesn't allow the person contact with the outside world, but even in that case AFAIK we don't have consensus it's okay. What we do have is clear consensus that that it's not acceptable when there are any existing free images. If editors have rejected the free images, this doesn't change the assessment. Note that rarely an image may be acceptable to use for some other purpose e.g. an iconic image of the person could be shown somewhere other than the infobox. I'd note that you've claimed below there are plenty of cases where NFCC images were used for simple identification of living persons but then rejected telling us about them apparently because you don't want us enforcing a fundamental pillar which isn't a good thing but isn't something to deal with except that it isn't a reason to violate said fundamental pillar.

If we wanted to go with the less "promotional" image, then the original Option B from the RfC above is more "neutral" than this new one. I don't oppose this new image, though.

*:The Proud Boys were a "social media"-saavy militia that actively tried to promote their image online and even on Wikimedia projects.   Amazingly, it's still working -- the NPOV choice for image is the mugshot, and we could use it if that was the only picture we had, but the existence of free images of Tarrio "in costume" are preventing us from going with the neutral cropped "likely-public-domain" booking photo. [[User:Feoffer|Feoffer]] ([[User talk:Feoffer|talk]]) 03:20, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
*::Like I previously said, I have similar [[WP:NPOV]] concerns about the mugshot than I do about the professional portrait, just in reverse. I think if at all possible we should avoid going with a mugshot on an article about a living person. The current image and Option B from the RFC are both perfectly fine and neither have anywhere near the [[WP:NPOV]] concerns that either of those two images have.

*:::[https://copyright.lib.harvard.edu/states/ Harvard's State Copyright Resource Center] suggests Virginia state works '''are''' Free Images.  [https://copyright.lib.harvard.edu/states/virginia/ It's page on Virginia] details the 2020 statute releasing "all potentially copyrightable materials under the Creative Commons or Open Source Initiative licensing system". [https://crln.acrl.org/index.php/crlnews/article/view/17438/19245 Another source mentions] "Other states, however, may be reluctant to “give up” copyright. For those states we point to basic legislative solutions such as a Creative Commons license, which maintains copyright but opens up the materials for nearly unconstrained use. This is a route that the state of Virginia has recently adopted, using the CC-BY license."   [[User:Feoffer|Feoffer]] ([[User talk:Feoffer|talk]]) 02:37, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
*::::CC and OSI are not the same as public domain (with some exception for CC0, but that seems unrelated in this case if they're talking about CC-BY). You've also provided an incomplete quotation of the statute, which reads more completely:
:::::{{tqb|B. The Secretary of Administration shall establish policies, subject to the approval of the Governor, regarding the protection and release of patents and copyrights owned by the Commonwealth. Such policies shall include, at a minimum, the following:<br/>1. A policy granting state agencies the authority over the protection and release of patents and copyrights created by employees of the agency. Such policy shall authorize state agencies to release all potentially copyrightable materials under the Creative Commons or Open Source Initiative licensing system, as appropriate.}}
:::::Crucially, this is ''not'' a policy, it's a mandate to ''create'' a policy. Can you provide a link to a policy created as a result of this statute? Unless and until these images are actually explicitly released under a clear license or into the public domain, they have to be assumed to be non-free. [[User:GorillaWarfare|GorillaWarfare]]&nbsp;(she/her&nbsp;•&nbsp;[[User talk:GorillaWarfare|talk]]) 15:55, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
::::::And it's a mandate to create a policy to ''empower'' state agencies to release materials into PD, not ''require'' them. So it's several degrees removed from an actual free license on this specific picture. To be clear even if this image were free we wouldn't want to use it in the infobox due to NPOV concerns (though we would want it in the article body).
