Characterizing US imperialism in nicaragua as "security interests" is dishonest and irresponsible
"Between 1981 and 1987 the relationship between Noriega and the U.S. grew considerably. It was driven both by the U.S.'s pursuit of its security interests, and Noriega using these as an effective means of gaining favor"
Why is Manuel Noriega's mugshot used on the infobox like he is just an ordinary criminal? Was he not also a leader?
Dictators and terrorists like
Osama Bin Laden
have more "responsible" portraits of them on their article's infoboxes.
This issue needs to be discussed.Jõséhola 21:45, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is no other recent image of Noriega in this article. Find an alternative one to replace it, or reinstate it where it was in the infobox. Nick Moyes (talk) 13:15, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What Nick said; an official portrait may be preferable, but none seem to exist that are free use, and fair use is hard to justify where the public domain mug shot exists. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:54, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanamonde93: and @Nick Moyes:, yeah I can't find a better image on Wikimedia Commons; I don't know if you do have an idea how we could get one.Jõséhola 21:45, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@
WP:FAIRUSE policy. However, as the 'mugshot' of Noriega is already freely licenced and available, that possibility no longer applies here. You cannot just copy any old picture off a website, as this would be 'stealing' the copyrighted work of other photographers. I note, however, that on Commons there is a cropped image of Noriega without the police notice that he's holding, but the original image is already so low res that I probably wouldn't consider using that one. I suggest you simply 'undo' your edit that initially removed it. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 20:52, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply
@Josedimaria237 OK - thanks for fixing this. ...you dealt with this issue absolutely the right way.
(One very minor point: you seem to be signing your posts on a new line, and not getting the indenting right either. If you could just check what you're doing and add your signature immediately after the end of your last sentence, that will keep the talk page neater. Alternatively, use the 'Reply' link and let the system automatically sign your response in the right place without you even having to think about it. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 21:38, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Nick Moyes: Fixed that, I have been wondering why it is always signed that way, I have not been able to make it look neater. Thanks for the observation.Jõséhola 21:45, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
