Photo requested[edit]

It's pretty funny that the man who has provided so many freely-licensed photographs on Wikipedia has his own article lacking a photo. See Alan Light's Flickr account. -- C. A. Russell (talk) 07:05, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand, it's not the same person - the Flickr contributor is the Alan Light referred to in the article Comics Buyer's Guide, not this journalist. DWaterson (talk) 02:38, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The photo on this page is NOT of journalist Alan Light. Additionally, the "Alan Light" photostream linked to below is not the Alan Light music critic. Since the page is locked, this can't be fixedSamplesize (talk) 22:40, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 25 January 2012[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The photograph featured on this page, and the link to a photostream, reference a different Alan Light. The Alan Light this page is about is a music journalist. His photo can be seen here: http://www.independentmusicawards.com/ima/judges/alan-light/

The Alan Light in the photograph, and with the photostream, is an amateur photographer, with an online following because of his photographs of celebrities.

This page confuses two Alan Lights.

--- Update 10/21/13 --- The photograph on this page is still the incorrect photograph. Alan (the music journalist) Light's photograph can be found here: http://musictomes.com/tag/alan-light/ or http://www.independentmusicawards.com/ima/judges/alan-light/

Done. You're right, I've removed them both. Thank you for pointing this out

Done I've removed it again. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:06, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Honest mistake, for someone with a lot of pics of celebrities, its hard not to assume its the same Alan Light..--Stemoc (talk) 11:24, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I almost made that mistake too.Jeff5102 (talk) 07:20, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
