Answer:
The problem most often is with copyright laws. Wikipedia articles are free to be used by anyone; because of that, you can only use pictures that allow the same freedoms. Technically, they should be either free of copyright or under a free license. The pictures in Wikipedia are mostly on Wikimedia Commons, http://commons.wikimedia.org. You might search there for other pictures of the same person which might be more appropriate, or you can upload the pictures yourself if you have a Wikipedia account. If you have a picture to upload (either one you took yourself, or one for which you have clear evidence that it is under a free license), try to log in on Wikimedia Commons under your Wikipedia user name (if that is not possible, on a Wikipedia page click on "My preferences" on the upper right of a Wikipedia page while you're logged in, and there click on "Manage your global account", then try again). Then go to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload and upload it. After you have found or uploaded an image, you can go to the Wikipedia page, open the edit page, search for [[Image: or [[File:, and then change the filename after that to the filename of the picture you found or uploaded.
