This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Specific change: Profile photo
Reason for the change: To show a more recent image
Hello. I work for RDV Corp., the DeVos family office. With my conflict of interest and the rules I’ve read about editing pages for living people, I wanted to ask about updating Dick DeVos’s profile image for this article.
I uploaded three photos to Wikimedia Commons that show him in 2021 and 2022 (the photo being used now is from 2017). I used the CC 4.0 license to fully release our copyright ownership for each of them.
Is it appropriate to ask someone here to consider updating the profile photo with one of these?
Assuming that you in fact have the authorization to upload those photos, and you wait and let someone else make the choice and do it (or not), you've done it the right way. Of these, I think the "2021" portrait (cropped to head and shoulders) would be the best choice. Jason A. Quest (talk) 15:19, 14 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
JasonAQuest - thank you for responding. We did own the copyrights to these so were authorized to upload and convert them to CC license. I appreciate your taking the time to suggest the best photo and crop. I'll wait and let others make any changes if they choose to. Sara RDVCorp (talk) 17:43, 14 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello @JasonAQuest I have reuploaded the file with the additional permissions which have been received and accepted by the Commons community. Can the profile picture be updated now?
