https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Biographies_of_living_persons#BLPs_and_image_sourcing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Biographies_of_... describes the process changes WP are making in response.
That seems to amount to adding the following paragraph to their policies:
«
Any police photograph used to imply that the person depicted was charged with or convicted of a specific crime must be sourced to a top-quality reliable source with a widely acknowledged reputation for fact-checking and accuracy that links the relevant image to the specific incident or crime in question.
»
That seems like an improvement to me, though it would be nice to also see an announcement that the Wikimedia Foundation are going to use some of their large piles of cash to pay someone to check that all their existing articles follow the new rule.
- akolbe 5y agoYes, that would be good, but knowing the Wikimedia Foundation I am quite certain that it will not happen. And volunteers won't do it either.
