Since Fox's fan base is very dedicated, they thus attempted to add the photo to the page. However, since Fox never officially licensed the image, it was removed as a copyright violation. This changed on April 5, when [[commons:User talk:FangamerSupport|the official Fangamer account]] uploaded the image under the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license via [[commons:Template:PermissionTicket|email]]. |

With the copyright issue cleared up, you might think that the image can now be used on Fox's article. But the article is still [[Wikipedia:Protection_policy#Semi-protection|semi-protected]], so there's still another problem. |
