- All of the above is a bad idea: it amounts to giving legal advice. All we should do is warn people that they need to consult with qualified counsel and let THEM decide what they may or may not do. Kelly Martin 14:21, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit request
{{editprotected}} I've made a category to be added to images when this tag is added to one. It is Category:Personality rights warning. Can an admin edit the template to make the category added to images with this tag? Yung6 00:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Done [edit] Every living person's photo
Do we have to place this tag on every photo of a living person, like U.S. politicians? That would be sweeping and tedious work. Wooyi 19:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think you have to, but it should be done on some of the more famous celebrity types to help prevent abuse. MECU≈talk 01:55, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- And what about photographs of ordinary people like those in this category? There are tons of pictures like that on commons. --Botev 22:16, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry. I didn't see the word identifiable. Now I understand. --Botev 22:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] disclaimer
Needs to be made clear that for the purposes of the GFDL this is not a disclaimer. user:Geni
- Do you have any suggestions for a new wording? Or what exactly are you asking for? --Steinninn ♨ 04:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- The GFDL requires that all disclaimers be preserved so something along the lines of "For the purpose of the GFDL this is not considered a disclaimer" might be helpful.Geni 15:57, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Minor quibble
Please change:
"This work contains material which may portray an identifiable person who is alive or deceased recently." to
"This work contains material which may portray one or more identifiable persons alive or deceased recently."
Or similar. Many uses show multiple people. Ingolfson 09:42, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Granted permissions template
Is there a template to use to indicate that permissions to use an image have been granted by the appropriate party? If so, there should be a link to that template from this template's page. — Loadmaster 14:55, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] lang:DE version
I recently found out that actual DE version of the template seems to have been edited by some kid which tried to explain the whole problem within the template. My proposal, as-of-now, ist at Template talk:Personality rights/de/Improving Personality rights-DE -- I'll be watching the subpage for ~3 days. Improve, or use, or delete. On improving, I'd suggest to try to rather cut down than to expand. [w.] 18:53, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
