Aren't there a couple of different issues going on here - on the one
hand, ability to speak for the chapter, say, on chapter type issues, and

Rather negative Wikipedia story in The Australian higher education

. However, when such cases have been
raised in the UK they have been based on 'extensive work' getting the
photograph to faithfully reflect the original. We haven't had that case come to

Worth noting that both EFA and GetUp are coordinating on this issue: so
Wikimedians who in their personal capacity are interested in getting
involved in the campaign against such laws should get in touch with one
of those organisations...and watch for more.
