"Borderline racist"?!? What an astonishing assertion! It's certainly '''''ugly''''', I'll grant you that. Nonetheless it is an undoctored picture. That IS (for better or worse) what she looks like. How can the claim possibly be made that it's "racist"? If I didn't know better, I'd guess that the quest to find a "better" photo of her is an attempt to make her more "media-friendly"...perhaps someone's trying to "smooth" her image after "recent events"?

Pre-emptive protection

Can we pre-emptively protect this article from IPs given the court proceedings? Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 18:52, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Let's wait for the storm first. I think the proceedings have been fairly low-profile thusfar, so I wouldn't expect too much vandalism to come. MB190417 (talk) 09:25, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Low-profile has surely ended. E.g., BBC Fiona Onasanya: Peterborough MP 'to stay in Parliament'. JDAWiseman (talk) 21:53, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
True, but so far only one outbreak which was annoying but copeable-with. I do agree that it is likely to need protection sooner or later ... continue to wait a little and see? I'm just not sure yet. It has had edits from IPs and registered users and most have been reasonable so far. DBaK (talk) 22:13, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Parking a reference

  • Association, Press (28 December 2018). "Convicted MP Fiona Onasanya intends to stay in parliament". The Guardian.

That picture

That picture of Onasanya is ugly beyond words, to a degree of being borderline racist. Don't we have a better one? I've seen many better pictures of her on the net... Wefa (talk) 21:21, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it makes her look like something out of a B-movie about a tribe of cannibals. PatGallacher (talk) 21:45, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Presuming he's still alive, maybe you should take it up with Chris McAndrew? She seems happy enough. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:01, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) Well it’s her official portrait on the UK parliament website, so she must have approved it. But if anyone has any free alternatives, let’s see them.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 22:05, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Wefa: Could you elaborate as to how the image is "borderline racist"? I'm genuinely curious. Mattythewhite (talk) 00:40, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's part of the set of official photos of MPs taken after the June 2017 General Election (you can tell by the grey background). Many of these photos aren't very good, but it is her "official" portrait and the infobox photo has to be CC. The full set of photos is here, and to give another example, Diane Abbott isn't a masterpiece either.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 06:10, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think the photo is so bad I would be happier to see no photo until another CC one is found. (Just done a google image search, and no other "Labeled for reuse" ones,) Rwendland (talk) 12:58, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If it's good enough for the UK Parliament website, and therefore presumably good enough for Onasanya herself, then it's good enough for us. Bondegezou (talk) 13:46, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
