I'd like to replace the picture of the Uyghur man with a sheepskin hat with the following picture. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Muqam.jpg The reason the photo needs to be replaced is it misleads anyone who wants to know about Uyghurs. Uyghurs are diverse people and members of today's modern society. They cannot not be represented by an outdated photo of a man with a dusty sheepskin hat. YulghunA (talk) 10:00, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: The current image has been in this article for far too long, so consensus is required to replace it. Also, the target media file does not have sufficient information on its copyright status. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 ^{𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜} 13:11, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The point is not the painting or the image of the painting. The point is the current photo on the Uyghur page doesn’t reflect Uyghur people as a whole. The current one being there for far too long doesn’t mean it’s the appropriate one. Women having no voting rights for centuries doesn’t mean it was a right thing. 167.98.170.146 (talk) 14:36, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Actualcpscm (talk) 16:30, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Replacing a photo with a painting would be against MOS:IMAGEQUALITY. I feel like this shouldn't be said, but representing a real group of people with a painting is less, not more inappropriate. I also don't think you own the copyright to that painting as you claim, especially since you ripped it from a Medium blog and the painter, Ghazi Ehmet, is deceased. Yue🌙 01:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did not claim the copyright to the paining. I merely uploaded the photo of the painting to Wikimedia which is widely available on the internet from a page where the photo had better resolution. The blogger doesn’t claim any right to the photo. I do know the painter is deceased. The point is not the image of the painting. The point is the current photo on the Uyghur page doesn’t reflect Uyghur people as a whole. The current one being there for far too long doesn’t mean it’s the appropriate one. Women having no voting rights for centuries doesn’t mean it was a right thing. YulghunA (talk) 22:36, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright is paramount for us here. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:58, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but my point is for yhe picture to be either removed or changed to something else that’s more appropriate. YulghunA (talk) 08:20, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Marked the edit request as answered, as it's being dealt with. NotAGenious (talk) 08:42, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How long does it take to change or remove a photo? Status of this matter has been set as 'being dealt with' for almost 2 months. YulghunA (talk) 11:04, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The photo you added without having permission to use the image was removed from commons a while ago. Looks like its been dealt with. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:54, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment @Horse Eye's Back. If you read this thread, it’ll be apparent to you that my aim is removal or replacement of the photo of a shepherd with dusty sheep skin hat that’s currently being displayed on the page. YulghunA (talk) 16:56, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the image you uploaded is no longer an option is there one of the pictures currently used on the page which you think would work better? I would also look at the archives, I believe that there's been some discussion about this at before. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:23, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
