New pic? Current is borderline ridiculing[edit]

The current image of Camping is highly unflattering. The face looks grumpy and half-asleep, the raised finger gives an impression of "annoying know-it-all", and the bible in the foreground only adds to create a persona of "crazed old man". I'm by no means a supporter of his teachings and am a convinced atheist, but the picture appears to be some sort of atheist propaganda is outright rude to this deceased man.
This is a non-free image, so why not choose something that would depict the man in a serious and encyc manner? We could try finding another image, or just remove it entirely. Gaioa (T C L) 09:54, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and removed the image. Gaioa (T C L) 16:52, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have replaced the image since it is a fair use image of a deceased person. A new image should be uploaded to replace the current image instead of deleting this image. Aspects (talk) 01:59, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Done it now. Gaioa (T C L) 15:02, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nickel Creek song[edit]

Can someone insert a reference to the song "21st of May" by Nickel Creek? Camping's prediction of the rapture is the subject of this song. It is written by Sean Watkins and the lyrics can be found on many different resources on the internet.

Here's one such source: https://genius.com/Nickel-creek-21st-of-may-lyrics

The song's spotify link is here: https://open.spotify.com/track/0hyhmEE6fFefO00bGN1yxD?si=rdJ8voDlSDKIfG1qOhmBWw
