Or it was uploaded to discriminate against someone. --Polarlys 10:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't suppose so... The face of the man is almost hide and the man is rather difficult to recognize if you don't know him personally. The problem is quite similar to the discussion about this photo and I can only repeat the words that User:Buster Baxter wrote there: "he wouldn't go topless (..) if he was ashamed of that! (...) he's is obviously aware of the picture being taken". Regards :) Elektron 11:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There’s a difference between posing for a friend or a family member and an upload to flickr or Wikipedia and a prominent article with your face as an illustration. --Polarlys 14:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Some more words about "your face"... I can see only a half of the man's face. I can say that it would be a big problem to me to recognise this man in a crowd (of corse if there would be more large bold men with glasses, not only one).
The author of the photo comes from Sicilia, Italy - see here. The photo comes from Mexico. I suppose that he was taken on the author's trip to this country. The large man from the photo is maybe a man the author met on his trip and they stayed friends. On my opinion the man is awere what he is doing and he is proud of this. If the author published it on Flickr she is aware what she is dooing, too. She knows it better than I or you because it was she who met this proud man. I played some times with taking photos and I like this photo very much. It is very good taken and shows dignity of this man. I can't see any attempt to mock at this man. I suppose that your real problem is that this man is a bit fat. But people are different: some are thin, some are large, some are little, some are fat. I don't suppose that youre have any objection to this photo if the man wasn't so big... Don't you exaggerate with a political correctness? If we show only photos with average people we will falsify the real world. Regards :) Elektron 07:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not about „political correctness“, it's about elementary personality rights. Did the person agree to publish this photo? --Polarlys 09:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK. If you so strict: Can you show me the paraghaph of the law that require a such agreement? Regards Elektron 10:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've added the "Personality rights warning" template to meet our standards... Elektron 11:04, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That differs from country to country. Our template is no carte blanche for uploading photos of identifiable, non-notable persons without their consent. --Polarlys 17:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I concern Mexico haven't got a special law about photos and personality rights. If it got any show me it, please. Regards :) Elektron 06:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am sure, your profound verdict is the result of the lecture of the relevant article on en.wikipedia.org. --Polarlys 11:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you know something that I don't be more specific, please (give me a link, etc). I'm going to read, of course. A man should learn all the time. Regards :) Elektron 06:58, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
