DISCUSSION Two things would be required for me to vote yes:
 * 1) A source that establishes the similarity. Preferably an author comment, but a majority vote on TrekBBS's Lit section would be enough.
 * 2) A starfleet uniform photoshopped in. At the very least, a brighter head-only shot that doesn't immediately make me think of CSI. --Chops 01:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll second these caveats.--Emperorkalan 12:30, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * neutral for now, but we really need to make her less "21st century". If there was a vote on the BBS as to who the best Vale would be, I think it would go to Katee Sackoff. In fact there is a thread pinned up right now about casting novel characters, I think I'll bring this up.--Turtletrekker 08:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

My own primative attempt is at left. Surely someone else can do better?--Turtletrekker 09:21, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, it looks like it's now been seven days since the final vote, and the tally seems to be for deletion. -- Sci 07:31 6 April 2006 UTC

On top of Chops' comment, we would also need permission from the 3D artist who rendered that shot.--Emperorkalan 12:30, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll change to a "yes" if we get permission from the 3D artist, as per Emperorkalan's comment. A liscenced pic would be better, if one exists.--Turtletrekker 08:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

It now looks to have been seven days here, and all but one of the votes are in the negative. -- Sci 07:33 6 May 2006 UTC

 * No. - Lieutenant Ayala

At least lose the uniform. --Chops 01:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * When I put the image up, I tried to crop it enough that what he was wearing wouldn't be clearly visible. As I noted on the page, I put the image up as a tip of the hat to the Kennedy-esque spirit TOS embodies and to the fact that Wescott, like Kennedy, was described as being the youngest president ever elected and governed in a 60s decade. -- Sci 07:39 25 April 2006 UTC
 * But it's not "Kennedy-esque", it's Kennedy -- clearly, recognizably, and unaltered. That particular portrait is too identifiable. This isn't to say a photo of Kennedy can't be altered to depict Wescott, but I'm against using this particular image.--Emperorkalan 12:30, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * What image would be better to use, then? Any photo or image of Kennedy will be clearly and recognizably him, after all, and the 23rd Century "business suits" that we saw in "The Trouble With Tribbles" weren't terribly different than those of the 20th. What kind of alterations would you suggest? -- Sci 17:51 26 April 2006 UTC


 * Depends on the photo used: Certainly one thing would be altering his hair to give him those TOS pointy sideburns. Much of the rest would probably be context: put him at a table with Klingons, and call it "signing the Organian Peace Treaty", or combine it with pics of "60's futuristic" architecture (the '62 or '64 Worlds Fairs, or that college campus they used as Deneva) and say its from a speech he made in Mojave, etc. The biggest problem with the one you had was that it was a portrait, clearly showing his face. At least Eisenhower's portrait turned him into into a Bolian. Collect a few images, think of a theme, and see what can be done.--Emperorkalan 19:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Alas, that would take photoshopping skills far in excess of mine own... Anyone volunteer? -- Sci 05:29 27 April 2006 UTC
 * No. Unlike the Eisenhower pic, there is nothing "Trek" about this pic.--Turtletrekker 08:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Lieutenant Ayala didn't put his timesigniture on his vote, but I'd presume it was made around the same time as his other votes, so I'd say it's been seven days now. And, with a five-to-one vote, it would seem that the nays have it. -- Sci 07:37 6 May 2006 UTC
