Semi-protected edit request on 22 October 2017

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Kathy Griffin. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please change the current photograph of Ms. Griffin to Kathy Griffin LGP.jpg . I am a professional celebrity photographer and have over 30 images on Wikipedia, from Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Norah Jones, Ted Nugent and many more. I have photographed Kathy on multiple occasions, and would like to change the image to a more suitable image that depicts this brilliant entertainer's character. The image I have uploaded was taken with Kathy's permission, and I spent some time before the performance with her. This is in no way attempting to berate, belittle, or vandalize her current image in any way whatsoever. The image I just uploaded is absolutely reflective of her character, both on and offstage. Her fans, and friends will absolutely agree that my proposed image is more appealing that the current one. The image I suggest is my own work, titled Kathy Griffin LGP.jpg, located here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kathy_Griffin_LGP.jpg#.7B.7Bint:filedesc.7D.7D Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 01:08, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your attention to this proposed edit. While I was granted editor status under my old handle "nightshooter", in order that I could upload and edit images of rock stars, I let that lapse and began using "Lgphilpot". I have no idea how to get a consensus, and certainly do not want to even have the appearance of a disputed edit with an editor, I just thought the image would be a better fit. As a photographer, if an image doesn't portray a subject's personality, it is simply a 2 dimensional representation that may as well be a sketch. I know that Kathy is under some controversy of her own making, but if you change your mind, the image will be available, but I do not know how to get a consensus. Again, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lgphilpot (talk • contribs) 20:16, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
