[edit] Non-free/fair use media rationale in The American Pageant

Although this image is subject to copyright, it is covered by US fair use laws because:

The image is only being used in the article about the book (The American Pageant) for informational and educational purposes.
Use of the book cover visually identifies the book and its author in a manner that mere prose cannot, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC.
This image enhances the article in which it's displayed, as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone.
The image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
The image is the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
The image is a low resolution image of the book cover, in an inferior graphics format (GIF).
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
The use of this image will not affect the value of the original work.
The use of this image will not limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute or make a profit from the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers

to illustrate an article discussing the book in question
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. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.
