[edit] Imran Khan photo

Hello Mtahir,

I'm afraid I had to remove your photo of Imran Khan. You put "The copyright holder allows anyone to use it for any purpose" but this is not true — you can only use photos from Getty Images by paying a fee, and then only for restricted purposes.

In general, you can only use photos you took yourself, or where the photographer has explicitly given permission — unless the photo is so old that it is now out of copyright. I wish this wasn't the case, but unfortunately it's the law. If we ignore it, we are likely to get sued.

I hope this won't deter you from making other contributions to Wikipedia in future.
