I have no doubt that if a Wikipedian had created the image [https://vfp.everythingisblank.co/laureates/associate-professor-svetlana-mojsov/ here] for [[Svetlana Mojsov]] and donated it with a free licence, then editors at that page would select it. And if a better photograph was found then they might select that instead. Why on earth do we need a rule for this, saying to some potential artist: "Don't bother". For crying out loud, folks. We fill this project with billions of [[WP:OUROWNWORDS]] and deal with all the copyright/plagiarism/OR/VP:V issues that arise from that. We can surely handle a few paintings, should we be fortunate that someone might make them. -- [[User:Colin|Colin]]°[[User talk:Colin|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 09:35, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[/td]
