I think this is an unfair photo of her to use. I've seen other photos that make her look much better. I would prefer not to have a photo than to use a bad photo. Viriditas (talk) 23:50, 23 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

I see images from 2023 and 1995 that look fine. This photo just has bad lighting and the angle is all wrong. It doesn't even look like her. I think it should be removed. Viriditas (talk) 00:55, 24 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
I removed it. There are several non-free photos to choose from that look great. Viriditas (talk) 00:57, 24 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
FWIW, this is an ongoing problem I keep running into on Wikipedia and I've commented on it several times on many different talk pages. If you have the choice between a bad free photo and a good non-free photo, do not choose the bad one. I don't understand why other people can't also agree with this. Why would you ever upload a bad photo of a subject? I don't understand the thinking here. Viriditas (talk) 00:59, 24 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
Update: As an example of the problem, take a look at the photo of her sister Dorie Ladner. An incredible photo! Viriditas (talk) 23:14, 24 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
