Image of Baloch edit

I couldn't find any images under "Qandeel Baloch" or "Fouzia Azeem" on Wikimedia Commons. Wikipedia uses this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Qandeel_Baloch.jpg, but it's copyrighted and given under a fair use rationale. I'm reasonably confident that it would be okay to use on Wikinews, but this has never been my forte. Thoughts? Darkfrog24 (talk) 14:30, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

We can't use the en.wp image, because it's from BBC. Our Fair Use policy, which I understand was hammered out in close consultation with Wikimedia legal, says we cannot claim fair use for any image whose copyright is held by another news org. --Pi zero (talk) 14:37, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, Pi zero. I do like to check. Darkfrog24 (talk) 14:48, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Darkfrog24: A screenshot from one of her self-published videos should qualify for fair use, if you can track one down. Not sure if her social media accounts have been shut down. --SVTCobra 16:05, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Review of revision 4516923 [Not ready] edit

Title edit

It seems to me, Qandeel Baloch was a social media personality first and feminist activist second. I have seen her compared to w:Kim Kardashian. And was it not not this aspect which drew the ire of the cleric? --SVTCobra 23:48, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure it was ire. I got the impression that he gave her his hat to wear in the picture and that other people were angry. The sources don't say, though. Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:16, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Either way, I submit she was more famous for things only tangentially related to feminism. --SVTCobra 01:25, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I see. They took a bunch of friendly photos together, one in which he let her wear his hat, then he got reamed for hanging out with a "disreputable woman," and from there her parents thought perhaps he'd had something to do with her being killed.

I'm sorry. I didn't get that deep into the story. I'd only read that he was tried but found innocent and celebrated afterwards. I had made the leap to think he inspired her brother. Anyway, thanks for updating the title. Cheers, --SVTCobra 01:42, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
