Full name[edit]

It appears likely that his full name is Christopher Paul Webb - see his LinkedIn URL, and I'm pretty sure it was what the returning officer announced - but I can't find a reliable source for it. It would be good to include the full name, if anyone can find a suitable source. PamD 07:58, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can his LinkedIn profile not be used? Ellwat (talk) 10:26, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, "Webb, Christopher Paul, commonly known as Chris..." I'm sure we'll soon see all his details at gov.uk. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:45, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He actually already appears here. But that's WP:PRIMARY, so "can't be trusted" lol. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
User:Russ Jericho has now added using the image of a local campaign leaflet. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:48, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Photo[edit]

Can we use File:Chris Webb.png or not? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:43, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was added at Commons by User:Spagnballz. who seems to have no Wikipedia account. So we can't ask them here to add an appropriate licence. Do Twitter images have any copyright licences attached? Martinevans123 (talk) 15:36, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately Spagnballz has admitted on their talk that they downloaded them from twitter without care for appropriately licencing [1]. These are therefore being speeded. As to twitter images don't have any built in licencing system, so unless otherwise stated we must assume that they're have all rights reserved. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 15:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I'm surprised that's a fair assumption, but it's probably the safest one. If there is no actual mechanism for Twitter users to verify that, it might be fairer to assume they don't care. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:35, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Every piece of art is copyrighted automatically by its creator at the time of creation, so unless otherwise stated it's impossible for us to use, as we require that everything uploaded (with the exception of NFC) is able to be reused by anybody for any reason, which most copyright owners (even if they don't care about they're use by Wikipedia) wouldn't agree to. Also, C:COM:PRP is also the watch word on Commons.
The good news is that as a new MP, Webb will get (in the next couple of months) a high quality, professional, parliamentary photograph taken which the parliament release under a free licence, which we will be able to use (like these) Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 18:17, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes, automatically by its creator, I was forgetting (um, and what about this creator)? Yes, as you say we should get an official Commons image soon. But I wonder would Webb himself have pictures that he could donate? Martinevans123 (talk) 10:08, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
