JAMA image
[edit]
Hey, just a note that the file you updated means that the title is now wholly inaccurate (there's no Metzinger on the new photo!) I think it would make more sense to upload a new file under a new name (since this file was specifically for the May 26 cover). Best, Airplaneman ✈ 15:44, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
- I've just corrected this problem. The Metzinger cover has been reinstated. This image is perfectly acceptable as a non-free image. It has Non-free media use rationales for the two article in which the image appears. Please do not modify this image anymore User talk:Mrmxzptlk. Thanks in advance. Coldcreation (talk) 18:08, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the help. The image is acceptable for the painting but it is no longer accurate for the JAMA journal page as the journal changed its cover design 3 years ago. OK if I correct the image as intended - to update the journal cover image on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAMA_(journal), not the painting image? I am still new to wikipedia so appreciate the help.

- No need to have a recent cover. JAMA is still known for having had paintings on their covers, for decades. The current cover with the painting is perfect. Coldcreation (talk) 19:50, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
- It may be nice to have the current cover image in the section that discusses the cover design (for example, Time Magazine has two versions of its cover in its article). I think arguments can be made on both sides as to which cover to feature in the infobox, but the important thing here is that the file is true to its name (which it now is, because of Coldcreation's reversion). I agree that the Metzinger cover should have a permanent place in the article because of the unique and longstanding tradition of having artwork on the covers. Airplaneman ✈ 20:44, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
- P.S. Mrmxzptlk: Feel free to reach out with any questions! Editing Wikipedia can be confusing (still is for me, sometimes), and harder than I think it should be. Cheers, Airplaneman ✈ 20:46, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Airplaneman! Coldcreation, would you support the upload of a second more contemporary cover image? (Mrmxzptlk)(talk) 15:55, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
- I think the only problem with the original upload is that it replaced the original image. That's like going to the article about cookies and rewriting it to be about cakes. So for an image of the new cover, it'd be uploaded as a new file, not as a replacement "updated" version of the old file (which it is not). I do think the 1993 image is more iconic, so I am disposed towards keeping that in the infobox. I do feel, however, that also displaying the newer cover format would add to the article!
