I recently added this image only to have it reverted, with the edit comment "stop adding images to articles". I think this must have been due to poor judgement. I will of course entertain opinions to the contrary, but lacking that, I will be returning the image shortly. Jack 13:10, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

(I cropped the table to just the image in question.)
Compare the image to the ones found using Google and you can see that this image has significantly more created data (shape and relative size of body parts) than matches the established works based upon the fossil records. - UtherSRG 14:08, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

This image is not copywritten. Its is also the only Paranthropus image available for this article to my knowledge. Even had you another, I see no reason not to include both. The only argument against including this image which I understand you to be presenting is your general objection to all artwork created by LK, which is in my opinion entirely unreasonable and persecutory.

No, my issue with LK is not the only factor. Again, compare this image to the existing images in the Google search above. It does not look like any of the images of Paranthropus. It does a disservice to the encyclopedia by not accurately describing Paranthropus. - UtherSRG 15:27, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)
First the other image is not available on public domain, to my knowledge. Secondly I see nothing about this image that is less considerate of the (rather minimal) informations available on Paranthropus. The fact it is dissimilar from other equally loose interpretations of ancient bone fragments is not particularly disturbing to me. Rather than rejecting this image as a "disservice", why can you not accept it for the humble service it seeks to provide to our neglected reading public? The wikipedia is not about the personalities of our editors, but rather the qualities of our articles. Occasionally we must surrender a battle of pride in return for the reward of progress.

The image is not representative of the images in the Google search. Did you even look at them to compare? - UtherSRG 15:51, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Or even this search? - UtherSRG 15:54, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)
