I sent Amanda Rishworth the following e-mail:

Hi, As a veteran Wikipedia user, I am writing to request that you consider allowing the following image - http://www.rishworth.com.au/images//template/amanda-rishworth.jpg - legal for use in your wikipedia article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Rishworth - with a wikipedia-compatible license, such as - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/deed.en

The federal SA MP template - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Current_South_Australia_Representatives - is located at the bottom of every current federal SA MP article. We have been able to locate similarly wikipedia-compatible licensed images for all current SA MPs with the exception of yourself, and Tony Pasin. However, there are no images of yourself at websites commonly used to source them such as Flickr.

If you are willing to have your image added to your wikipedia article, all you would need to do is add the following brief text (or similar) to http://www.rishworth.com.au/disclaimer.html :

"http://www.rishworth.com.au/images//template/amanda-rishworth.jpg is licensed under the Creative Commons terms listed at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/deed.en"

This simple and brief addition would allow your Wikipedia article to display your image.

Butler, Champion, Ellis and Zappia, and all from the Liberal side except Pasin, have similarly licensed images in their articles, and many Wikipedians would be very happy if you were willing to allow Creative Commons use of your photo - by a very quick non-time-consuming addition of the above text/links between the quotation marks above, to your disclaimer page.

With anticipation and thanks, Wikipedia user Timeshift9.

Hopefully Rishworth will accept and we can add the last of the images for current federal SA Labor MPs. Timeshift (talk) 14:04, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing at http://www.rishworth.com.au/disclaimer.html - I called Rishworth's electoral office via her website's phone number of 08 8186 2588 to follow up and I spoke to the person that handles e-mails but as I didn't want to give my name or phone number (though I said I was a wikipedia user and tried to direct them here) they did not wish to continue the call. Can someone who is willing do that please call? Thanks. Timeshift (talk) 04:28, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've done so. I'll update you if someone is available and calls me back :) Donama (talk) 01:56, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Uploaded a Flickr photo. It's amazing how often Flickr users are nice enough to reply positively to a request for a license change. The photo is not the best quality, but hey, as demonstrated countless times previously when an average but useable photo is located, a sudden change of heart by the MP to provide a photo inexplicably tends to occur :) Timeshift (talk) 06:56, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note, the Flickr user actually went the full mile for some reason by changing the license to Public Domain Mark 1.0 which I haven't encountered before, it's always been Creative Commons. I looked at Commons:Copyright_tags#Public_domain but couldn't find the specific tag, so I used PD-author|link as a temporary workaround. Can someone familiar with Public Domain tags apply the correct tag for Public Domain Mark 1.0 when they have a chance? Thanks muchly! Timeshift (talk) 07:06, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Timeshift9: This is going to sound a little odd, but I don't actually think they have released it under a licence. The tag they have used indicates that the image is not under copyright (either through expiration or ineligibility), that's why you can't find an appropriate licence on Commons. It'll probably be fine with the templates you've used, but if you want it to be ironclad, you should ask the Flickr user to alter the licence to a CC0 licence.

Thanks all :) Timeshift (talk) 07:25, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Did you still want someone to talk to their office about that image? I now work for the ALP's Digital team and can email them with a little bit more clout than an unidentified 'wikipedia editor' haha Coagmano (talk) 08:13, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to get hold of as many Labor MP images with appropriate licensing as possible - but the other federal priority would be Tony Zappia - Mark Butler, Nick Champion and Kate Ellis have decent images but professional or official images are always most welcome. Same with state MPs. Timeshift (talk) 04:05, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Occupation

Although a qualified psychologist, Ms Rishworth’s current occupation seems (to me) that it ought to be listed Member of Parliament, or some similar title. Is there a convention for this across other Australian politicians, especially other Members of Parliament? Doubleplusgoodful (talk) 09:33, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK, occupation isn't usually used, instead, |education= is used to show a politician's professional qualifications, and I suppose |profession= could be used to show that she is a psychologist. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:34, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
