WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Austin Tice, along with other pages relating to the Syrian Civil War and ISIL, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

MeropeRiddleTrying to submit this under free-use will likely not be accepted. There's often a consensus to leave an BLP without a picture if no free image can be obtained. You may consider writing an article for Wikinews. They are more accepting of news articles and have a generous free-use policy. Try getting @DebraTice's attention on Twitter. If you get permission to release CC-BY then you can post the twitter status message on your upload request.

@MeropeRiddle: I emailed the family and sent them the standard form.~Technophant (talk) 02:59, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MeropeRiddle I got a reply. His parents declined to submit a photo. Sorry. ~Technophant (talk) 06:38, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Technophant: What about his picture from the FBI missing person bulletin? Does that fall under fair use? http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/kidnap/austin-bennett-tice/person_view_multimedia MeropeRiddle (talk) 07:07, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MeropeRiddle It's mentioned on Rewards for Justice that all images are public domain unless otherwise noted. I would assume that this would be same here. I'll keep looking for a policy page to cite for justification. ~Technophant (talk) 19:27, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
