Will Smith
editHi, please don't replace a free content image with a (almost certainly) fair use image. See my comment on Talk:Will_Smith#Image. Garion96 (talk) 01:27, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- It's a little off-topic for the Will Smith article so therefore I am replying here. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Fair use for a good explanation of fair use. Basically it means that in some cases wikipedia can use an image which is not free content (not released under a free license). Often for images for which there is no no free equivalent available. This image Image:WW2 Iwo Jima flag raising.jpg is a good example of that. With Will Smith, we already have a free image, so that can't be exchanged by a non-free image. Hope that explains it. If not, feel free to ask. Cheers, Garion96 (talk) 01:54, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Most websites don't own the copyright of the images they use. But some (like official websites) usually do. You could ask them for an image to be released on a license wikipedia can use. See Wikipedia:Example requests for permission for example letters/e-mails. Garion96 (talk) 23:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- That's ok. :) Glad to be of help. Garion96 (talk) 00:37, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Will Smith trivia
editHi, just read your message. From looking at the history of the article it doesn't look that there was a trivia section. Feel free to add one, but preferably just incorporate information you have in the article instead of a separate section. See also Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles. Also, when you add information to an article, don't forgot to cite your sources. Hope this helps, Garion96 (talk) 21:52, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
