French Canadian[edit]

We can only use photos that we actually have on Wikipedia, for which we have appropriate copyright licensing. This severely limits the number of options that are available for photos. Out of all the people you suggested, Louis Riel and Jean Lesage are the only two for whom Wikipedia actually has pictures that could be used on the French Canadian article under current copyright law — and Lesage's is not a photo of him, but of the Lesage statue on the grounds of the National Assembly. The photo on René Lévesque is fair use, which means it can only be used in articles specifically about Lévesque, and for everybody else you named as an option we have no photos at all. Though if you know where we could get some, we're all ears. Bearcat (talk) 05:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
