Legacy section image addition
File:Thomas_Rousseau_of_the_Patriot_Front_films_a_podcast_in_front_of_images_of_Miss_Columbia_and_Andrew_Jackson.jpeg I propose adding an image to the Legacy section that illustrates how the "iconography" of Jackson is viewed at the present day. See image and caption attached; I argue that this image can be used under fair use as the person being interview clearly intended to frame himself and present as certain graphic result by including Jackson that can only be conveyed visually.
Thoughts? jengod (talk) 03:27, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- I prefer to avoid using the image. In addition to its questionability in terms of copyright, I think adding an image of a group using Jackson's image points move the section away from the article's focus on Jackson; rather, the image and caption seems to me to pull readers to focus on a group and its leader, for whom Jackson is peripheral. For now, I did add a clause mentioning that the Patriot Front uses his image, as it illustrates another example of how Jackson's image has been used to polarize race issues. As always, it'll be good to hear from others. Wtfiv (talk) 03:39, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- I don't see that NFCC would be met with this image. I just don't think it amounts to the degree of assistance to the reader to see that a wacko recorded a podcast in front of a picture of Jackson; a brief sentence or two about such usage would be sufficient.

- Slightly updated article removing specifics about the groups using Jackson's image. When it was a single incident, specifics seemed helpful for contextualizing. Now that there are more than one, they are included in a single umbrella statement. This keeps the focus on paragraph topic, Jackson's controversial nature. Readers who want to know more about how these groups and how they specifically use Jackson's image can investigate further in the sources, which are archived. Wtfiv (talk) 17:27, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
