Article needs photographs[edit]

I uploaded a new version of this article today. It would benefit from having relevant photographs, especially portraits of Prof Raphael. The only image in Wikipedia Commons currently is the one that was previously uploaded and is now part of the infobox. However, that image is likely to be deleted because it may breach copyright rules (apparently it is a derivative work, not an original).Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 15:51, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In view of the contested status of the image previously used in the infobox, I have encouraged Raphael's department to upload an official photograph and have used it instead. Further photos would be welcome! Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 15:41, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand why that pic in dewiki is being contested.

This photo is pretty good, and captures his characteristic smile. Narky Blert (talk) 05:22, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that's a good photo but it can't be used here as I don't think it has the necessary free license. I had contacted Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge for a photo which they indeed uploaded and was briefly used here until a robot deleted it! I'm trying to get his sorted (see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OTRS), so there will be a Wikimedia Commons file for anyone to use. Michael D.

The departmental photo has now been restored by ORTS to Wikimedia and is therefore back here. Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 16:46, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
