[edit] Use of image

Can't the image be used if the page is a mini-article, as it explains the basics of the book and links to the actual page for more? ddcc 14:51, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• From WP:FUC:

Fair use images may be used only in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are not covered under the fair use doctrine. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages. They should be linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are the topic of discussion. This is because it is the policy of the Wikimedia Foundation to allow an unfree image only if no free alternative exists and only if it significantly improves the article it is included on. All other uses, even if legal under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided to keep the use of unfree images to a minimum. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis if there is a broad consensus that doing so is necessary to the goal of creating a free encyclopedia (like the templates used as part of the Main Page).

This excludes use in the portal namespace, even if it is fair use under US copyright law. If you want clarification of this, you should post at Wikipedia talk:Fair use. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 15:16, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
