the pic

i don’t know how to do it,but please change the pic : Dylan’s an adult now!! Chiarajones (talk) 12:20, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be freely usable. There's not a more current one that we can put in the article that is in line with Wikipedia BLP image policy, which is why it's so old. - Purplewowies (talk) 16:51, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please update the photo. Dylan requested it himself. Babywerefireproof (talk) 21:39, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What can be an image? I’m sure there’s one out there, just not trying hard enough Babywerefireproof (talk) 21:47, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Until there's a recent photo, that is freely licensed to be compatible with Wikipedia, we can't. Way too many users have tried to change the photo, most are found to be copyrighted, and so the article has been semi-protected because of that. Also, because this is still a living person, we can't use a fair use image, as it would violate the "No free equivalent" criteria. theinstantmatrix (talk) 21:48, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~When and where did Dylan "request it himself"? (I figured Twitter or something but there's nothing recent.)~~ Ah, it's an Instagram story. His opinion, sorry to say, means almost nothing in terms of this article, but I almost wonder if he himself knows of a freely licensed image somewhere. (This is... you should probably ignore me. I'm just the kind of person to brazenly approach a complete stranger talking on the internet about how a Wikipedia image should be changed or updated and ask them if they have an image in mind, even if it's a long shot.) - Purplewowies (talk) 05:16, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As we all know he has a twin his twin has a recent pic he shall have one too Varela088 (talk) 09:10, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cole has recently been at cons, etc. due to a high-profile network television role and enough people took photos of him that a few were licensed in such a way they were usable for this purpose. Even my cable box doesn't have an updated image of Dylan, and as far as I know, they're not even bound to only using freely licensed images. - Purplewowies (talk) 17:52, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NEW IMAGE

Can the image be changed to this one? I am a friend of his. He would like the image changed. https://c6oxm85c.cloudimg.io/cdno/n/q85/https://az617363.vo.msecnd.net/imgmodels/models/MD10004294/4r5a3846-2469d6f184f27a5eb29ac5f0518bf9273_thumb.jpg Mkano 06:14, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Not done: We only accept images that are released under a free license (public domain, CC BY, CC BY-SA); it's highly likely that image is copyrighted (all rights reserved) and so cannot be used here. theinstantmatrix (talk) 14:41, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Could Dylan Sprouse post a selfie on Instagram or Twitter with a license for open use that could then be used on Wikipedia? I could not find an answer to this in the Wikipedia policies. Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 22:30, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Teeechnically? The image could probably be used if it was of sufficient quality and fit the criteria for uploading to Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia's image use policy. Actors have uploaded their own headshots and/or photographs before (or people have found images they've taken of themselves and released under a free license and uploaded for them). A relevant note: I tried talking directly to him about the licensure of free images on Wikimedia (after he made an Instagram story about the images on articles like this one) and didn't get a response after a week or two (but then I expect he probably gets a lot of DMs and/or screens them, hrm; I am just a stranger, of course). Just that it might note his willingness to do such a thing? (I suspect given his art and education history that he might even understand a little about licensing but perhaps not. *shrug*) - Purplewowies (talk) 23:53, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that information. Seems like he could do something about it if he wants a change. Hopefully this information will be useful to others too. Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 01:28, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Entrepreneurship

Regarding the revision of my edit. The person that edited it asked whether I have a source other than his brewery that makes him an entrepreneur. Well isn't one enough? As I see it, if you own a business you're an entrepreneur. And putting him down only as a brewer is an understatement as a brewer could also mean he works at a place as a brewer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Γιαννης Παπαδογκονας (talk • contribs) 15:09, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, considering that the template documentation specifically mentions "Occupation(s) as given in the lead" and brewmaster (which is different than brewer) and businessman were removed from the lede, with a reason given, even his brewmaster-ship shouldn't be listed in the infobox, theoretically. Further, the infobox is really just a concise summary of certain info in the article/lede anyway, and the article does specifically mention that he opened the meadery. - Purplewowies (talk) 16:44, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
