Picture of voting in exile edit

 
Chilean abroad voting in Stockholm.

Dear Aréat, I can see you do not like the photo I uploaded of a chilean in exil voting. First you deleted it only to show the boxes, and now to show voting in Chile. The last reason was, sorry to say it, a little bit silly: "Not a good photo, with her face weirdly covered by her hair, and it show the process for a tiny percent of the population, which is misleading. Better to use a photo of a vote in Chile" If you look at the photo she is looking at the person talking to her to the right, not covering her face. Of course I can upload a photo of her showing her face and voting, but I thought that it was better to have the focus of the voting and not her face, also considering that the person to the right of her tried to stop me from talking photos of a person which told me "photo me", whith the words "The president has forbidden taking photos of the photo procedure!" (which was a lie, of course, but it makes it maybe understanable for you I first added a photo not showing the face). The "tiny percent of the population" you are talking about might be a tiny part, but important because a lot of them are people forced in exile by the same persons who created the konstitution during the dictatorship, and they have, in exile, stood for a lot of work to get this far. It shows that today even people in exile was allowed to vote (which might have to have an own section?) I think that many photos makes an article more reader friendly, and you are right there should be a photo also of voting in Chile, these two photos are not against eachother, but showing two different aspects of the same thing.
