[edit] Licensing

This image is of a historical political poster, button, flier or banner, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the creator of the poster or the artist who produced the poster/button/flier/banner in question. It is believed that the use of web-resolution images of a political posters/button/flier/banner

for identification and critical commentary on
- the poster itself or
- the political movement it represents,
in the absence of free media which could serve such a purpose,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

On 11 December 2006 this image was auto-tagged with a request for more information and the threat of speedy deletion. It was not clear to me whether I was being asked for more information about the image that is the poster or the image that is the photograph of the poster. (It's at times like this that Wikipedia can feel a somewhat Orwellian or Kafkaesque place.) I can't provide much more information about the poster itself, since it is an unsigned and simple piece of graphic art, produced (as I have stated) for Brizola's election campaign in 1982; (the success of that campaign resulted in his taking office in 1983). The photograph was taken by me a couple of years ago and shows a copy of the poster, held in my possession and given to me by a member of staff at Brizola's campaign office in Rio in 1982. Either way, as the licensing box states, I believe that the use of a web-resolution image of the poster for identification and critical commentary on the political movement it represents qualifies as fair use. I have removed the tag in the hope that I have dealt adequately with the query. Russ London 15:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
