Bad infobox image and odd placement of image in body of article

1. The image of Fani Willis is oddly cropped, at a strange angle, and has a blurred background. Is there a better image we can use for this? A district attorney should have a recent, publicly available image online that we can use without fear of copyright.

2. The image of Fani Willis and Nikema Williams in the 2020 election influence investigation section is oddly placed. No mention in the article is made of how Fani Willis and Nikema Williams relate to one another, or why this image should be specifically placed within the 2020 election influence investigation section of the article itself.

@BootsED, please have a look at the edit I've just made. TarnishedPath 08:09, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Thanks! #2 seems to be solved, but putting that image of Fani Willis as the new infobox image still isn't a great image. I'm not sure if there is another image of Fani Willis we have that could use. A simple headshot would work well, I would imagine. BootsED (talk) 20:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
We don't always have access to the best free images or sometimes have to wait for them to come along. Is the replacement image better than what was there previously? TarnishedPath 00:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
I would agree the infobox picture is oddly cropped and blurry. I wouldn't mind replacing it if we have access to a better one. I am just not sure if we actually do have any other pictures that don't impede on copyright infringement. MaximusEditor (talk) 18:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Georgia Court of Appeals

In the section dealing with teh 2020 electoin interference investiagation it is stated that "In May 2024, the Georgia Court of Appeals agreed to hear an appeal to the ruling, revisiting whether Willis may be allowed to stay on the case". Has there been any progress on this? I ask because I'm in Australia and I don't see the same news as American editors. TarnishedPath 00:23, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Good question. The appeals court has scheduled their hearing on this matter for December 5, 2024; they then have until mid-March of next year to issue their ruling. That ruling could be appealed to the Georgia and ultimately to the United States Supreme Court. Any effects the November election would have on the process would be pure speculation at this point. Paris1127 (talk) 02:47, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Is the case still proceeding during that time or is it on hold pending the outcome of the appeal? TarnishedPath 05:27, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
I believe it's completely on hold until the appeals court rules. Even for defendants who weren't part of the appeal. Paris1127 (talk) 14:04, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Image in infobox

Hi all, for the infobox image what should the best corse of action be. I feel that the most updated photo of Willis is not very good when compared with the other images available on commons. Any thoughts? Yedaman54 (talk) 20:52, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

The image with the blurred background looks weird as the blurring goes right up to her face and makes her hair look funny. The most up to date image, while not perfect, is preferable. TarnishedPath 00:25, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Dude she looks like a gremlin in that photo. It also a large amount of motion blur on her hands. The other photo while yes having a blurred background has a clear photo of her face and quite frankly its a less ugly image. Yedaman54 (talk) 02:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Looks like a gremlin is your subjective opinion. The blurring of the entire background in the older photo is jarring when all of a sudden her face is in focus. TarnishedPath 03:07, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
