The Art Carmody Wikipedia Photo Petition

As a child of the digital age ('85, bitches), I've come to admire the internet more than the average man. The wealth of knowledge one can gain in just a few minutes is commendable, incomparable, and irreplaceable. On the other spectrum, one can waste time looking at the most inane and bizarre things you could possibly imagine...and some things that you didn't know could be imagined.
One of my favorite sites, other than Card Chronicle of course, is Wikipedia--I love reading entries on former Cards, famous people from Louisville, random tidbits about trivial, nonsensical facts, etc. It's a very neat "Web 2.0" tool that is one of those things that was unheard of 5 years ago, and now seems impossible to live without. The user-created content is fascinating, yet some things on the site baffle me.
Take this for instance: Art Carmody's Wikipedia entry doesn't have a picture. I'm appalled. Outraged. Disgusted. This cute little guy needs his mug plastered for all to see, and I'm leading the petition, with the help of my fellow Chronicloids, to get this done. With Art's permission, of course (Mike, help a brotha out!), I want Art to be entered in the annals of Wikipedia lore with face in tact.
His accomplishments on the field speak for themselves; he was *the man* just as much as Mario, Mike, Hunter, Brian, and Harry. Everyday he gets to look at his Orange Bowl ring and Lou Groza award. Little kickers everywhere aspire to be the next "Art-O-Matic". It's only right that he has a Wikipedia entry that lives up to the legend.
The world must see the man with the golden leg.

So submit it.
Anyone can.
"Screech, you CAN'T elope!"
"Who are you calling a cantaloupe, you melonhead?"
YOU must have the rights to the image though.
"Screech, you CAN'T elope!"
"Who are you calling a cantaloupe, you melonhead?"
And therein lies the problem;
as I own zero rights to any photographs of the man Arthur Carmody.
Which is where my post, and the sheer goodness of Mike Rutherford’s heart come into play.
Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!
What do I need to do?
I’m sure BAC would be approved.

Can you make the picture as awesome as possible?
Either have Art sitting on a throne with a crown and football with 69 women around him, or…
I’ve got it!
Take a couple pictures of Art, and take a few other random pictures. Like 5 pictures in total. Then have a CC photoshop-off where you can only use objects from those 5 pictures and the winner gets his creation uploaded.
uoflbezzle can judge.

"uoflbezzle can judge"
What am I thinking? Art can judge, as long as he has time to spare.

Easy
Go here, and look at the upper right corner where oyu will see hits:
Click on it and follow the directions. The fastest way to get it done, I assume, would be to create a Wikipedia account (it’s quick and easy and the directions will be provided), but if you don’t want to bother with that, you can email it to an editor.
