[edit] Rahul Dravid's picture

You cannot use that either. It comes from http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/06-06b-04.asp and is copyrighted unless the site specifically says that it is in the public domain.

The restriction for pictures is a very frustrating thing, but we have no choice here. Tintin 18:11, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

The pic copyright rule is why most of the present day cricketers have no images in their articles. Yeah, it is a major nuisance and short of taking a photo yourself, there is little chance of getting a valid picture. Tintin 22:38, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

• I don't know what exactly it is for India. User:Nichalp would be the person to ask. For Australia, everything since 1955 is in the public domain, for USA it is slightly longer.

For magazine and book covers there is an exception. They can be added with the tag 'bookcover' as in [1], but they can be used in the article only if it is 'relevant'. ie, if there is a section in the Dravid article about his biography, you can put the book cover beside it, but you cannot put any random Sportstar cover in the article.

[edit] New userboxes

I have deleted a userbox template you recently created, as userboxes should no longer be created in templatespace per the terms of the German userbox solution. Here is the userbox code so that you can recreate the userbox in your userspace ("userfying") if you wish.

<div style="float: left; border:solid orange 1px; margin: 1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px; background: ivory;"
| style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: ivory; text-align: center" | [[Image:Charminar Hyderabad.jpg|35px]]
| style="font-size: 8.25pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; text-align: left" | This user hails from '''[[Hyderabad, India]]'''
|}</div><noinclude>
</noinclude>
