Why are you guys using a black and white photo of Tutanchamun?
There are plenty of full color photos of the boy king. This isn't 1952 2601:444:880:F890:3AAF:8500:434A:FE0C (talk) 15:59, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
:So find one. Barry Wom (talk) 16:36, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
:File:Mannequin of Tutankhamun.jpg
:(edit conflict) Most of the photos in the article are in color. If you're referring to the photo of the mannequin, I assume somebody used the old Burton photo because the more recent, freely licensed images that are available to us ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Mannequin_of_Tutankhamun here]) either don't show the full body of the mannequin or have distracting elements like reflections or museum background. Personally, I find Mannequin of Tutankhamun.jpg (right) acceptable. A. Parrot (talk) 16:39, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
:Frankly, 2601:444:880:F890:3AAF:8500:434A:FE0C, I am not sure what you are going on about. There are only two B&W photos in the article that can be considered to actually be of Tutankamun -
File:Tutankhamun's mummified head.jpg File:Tutankhamun tomb photographs 4 326.jpg
:The image of his mummified head that was published in The Daily Mirror in 1926. This Mannequin photo is from Harry Burton and dates from 1923.
:There are other photos of the Mannequin available on Commons at [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Mannequin_of_Tutankhamun Category:Mannequin of Tutankhamun]. I'm rather fond of this close-up version:
File:Tutankhamun, Cairo Museum.jpg.
:By the way, Wikipedia has very strict rules about almost always only using freely-available, public domain images. Just because you might have possibly seen some image of this subject's head in color somewhere on the internet does not mean that Wikipedia can use it. Wikipedia:Image use policy is helpful, especially the sections on Copyright and licensing and Free licenses. - Shearonink (talk) 17:06, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
