I don't know how to do a proper link to Emily's IMDB page. Can anyone help me? Also, the link to the film The Calling links to some band instead. Not sure how to correct that.

There is a template for IMDB links - just use {{imdb|X}}, replacing X with the person's IMDB profile number, which in Emily's case is 2387806. I've already made the change to the page, but now you know for future reference.

As for The Calling, someone has now removed the link - there is no page for The Calling (2009 film) yet, so currently there is nothing to link to. As you pointed out The Calling links to the band. Also, The Calling (film) is a different article, related to a movie from 2000.

Photo

Hello. I have been asked to explain the issue with an image of Miss.Beecham being posted on this page. I am more than happy to do so, and am glad someone actually is willingly to talk this through. Emily Beecham has personally requested the removal of the photo in question. It was taken during her allergy season, and thus she would not like this particular photo displayed on her wikipedia page, as (being an actress) her image is important to her career and livelihood. She made the request to the photo's original up-loader via twitter. This user and Miss.Beecham had an exchange on Twitter, followed by the intervention of Miss. Beecham's reps. Too my knowledge, they came to a resolution, and the photo was taken down. However, another user, Davey2010, has put it back up. I attempted to remove it again, citing in the edit notes Miss.Beecham's request. I also made several other edits such as updating her episode count for Into the Badlands. This user however reverted my edit, and put in his edit notes "tough bollocks". It also appears as though the up-loader of the original photo attempted to post a different one, approved of by Miss.Beecham, only to have this user delete it. I can have Emily Beecham verify her request regarding this photo via Twitter (I am the lead admin for her characters fan page for the AMC series Into the Badlands). I find it horrendously disrespectful, and unbecoming, of wikipedia to insist on posting a photo of someone who has expressly requested it be removed. I do not believe this is the position of wikipedia, but of a user who appears to have no respect for the actress who's page he is editing. I am requesting that this particular photo be left down, out of respect for Emily Beecham, and until a photo she does approve of can be placed here. I wish to avoid edit wars, and hope that you can help me in resolving this peacefully, and with respect for the very person who's page this comment is on. Thank You. 71.17.25.13 (talk) 11:51, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for engaging on the talk page, my experience is that these things can usually be sorted out this way. Give me a few minutes to have a look though the history of what you say, then I'll get bakc to you here. AntiVan (talk) 12:08, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

"and until a photo she does approve of can be placed here" - Sorry that's not how it works - We use free images regardless of whether the subject "approves" of them or not - if we went by what they "approve" of no BLP articles here would have images, As explained below images here need to be free which at present there are none which is why I keep reverting - Ofcourse if it could be replaced then I would've gone that route however there's only one image at present and it's this, Thanks, –Davey2010 12:23, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I see the current image was uploaded to commons by de Kok, and that at some stage there has been an image used in the article named Emily_Beecham_shoot.jpg, but that image, which was uploaded to wikipedia is now deleted. I don't have the admin rights I'd need to see why it was deleted, but the usual reason is that there is a problem with the copyright. If, as you say, Vera de Kok has a better photo, and she wants to upload it to wikipedia commons that would be great. It would then be a matter of consensus to have it added to the article.

Please be more circumspect in your language about other editors. From my brief look, Davey2010, has been correctly pursuing the various Wikipeida policies. It's not our role to do things to please the subjects of Misplaced Pages articles, but only to create and maintain verifiable articles on notable subjects. Saying that you have special access to the subject of an article is not likely to sway other editors, making a case around wikipedia policy is.

I'm going to restore the current image for the time being. When you've organised for a new, hopefully better, image to be uploaded to commons, let me know and we'll have a look at it. Note that you should not make any further edits to this article, but rather request them on the talk page (or my talk page). This is the standard approach for editors that are too close to the subject on an article to have a completely WP:NPOV. Thanks AntiVan (talk) 12:30, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi AntiVan, The image that was deleted was this, I was asked by Ritchie333 to stop reverting however I thought it was best I removed the image in the hope someone would replace it and this whole edit warring would stop, Thanks for helping tho :), Thanks, –Davey2010 12:36, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Image

Right the back & fourth warring is stupid so let me explain,
Emily disliking their image is not our problem not should it be but that all aside at present there is no free alternative image which is why this image should remain,

Now the image can be replaced however the image needs to be the same as the one it's replacing (IE her at an event and it should be good quality), her posting images on Twitter isn't good enough - Also images shouldn't be promotional (ie like this)

Images can be uploaded to Commons with the following licences - CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication, Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic (CC BY-SA 2.0) and Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0),
Please note tho these licences are irrevocable (IE you cannot change your mind and request them to be deleted - Once you upload them that's it anyone can use them for any purpose and you don't need to be notified first etc etc) so please bear this in mind, Also if you're the photographer of the images you upload then you would need to go to OTRS at Commons aswell,
But again just to reiterate these licenses are irrevocable - So if anyone wants to replace the image then fine however if not then the previous should stay (Also uploading images from the internet will be deleted),
Thanks, –Davey2010 12:16, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
