Issues with the updated /find search results display
Occasionally if I notice a name that has many, many name pages like "John Smith" as a hypothetical. I try to find all the Self or Actor that I can identify and try to find images of them. Also update if Self doesn't have any further info. I find how they were identified in the episode or documentary and add the info. My record was finding 18 primary images for one name. Or also if less famous people have the same name as a famous person like "Jennifer Lawrence". There is a MAGA person with the same name so I added a photo of her so there would be no confusion later on.

@ben_hampel how do you manage to upload pictures in such a way that they show on a person's page if you are not representing them?

He is an image partner, Vande.

@jeorj_euler I've never heard of that before.
I just know that I often tag images on IMDb, and they sometimes then appear on the person's page, occasionally even as their main headshot.
I always assumed this depended on the connections of the person who originally uploaded them.

@Vande To be honest, I have no idea. I've been doing this for years and when I started I worked at a photo agency. Maybe something got grandfathered in.

The only other IMDb image partner of whom I'm aware is Trisha S, an employee of IMDb, who hasn't posted on this forum in over two years. I'm not sure about about Will (swiftw), as he seemed to have some abilities. (By the way, has anybody else noticed the he has gone from being listed as an Employee to listed as a Champion? Interesting.)
Since the IMDb company has various incentives to promote IMDbPro, the IMDb staff don't really provide much (if any) insight into legacy image upload programs (like Publicity Photos) offered by IMDb. Apparently, the images that were present on IMDb title pages before a tool for uploading images to title pages was made available to IMDb members with default set of privileges will automatically show up in IMDb name page image galleries whenever somebody corresponding to those name pages is tagged in them. There is also the matter of IMDb Title Scorecard images having the same effect.
We have an existing thread in which these phenomena are discussed, at Sprinklr thread 5f4a7a448815453dba9fe35a. We should move any further discussion, questions, anecdotes or conjectures on the matter to that thread, so that we don't clutter up this this thread dealing with another topic entirely.

@jeorj_euler Does it say somewhere that I'm an 'image partner'?

No, Ben Hampel. This is something that can be inferred from the fact that the IMDb image partner program even exists.
