[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Partners in Crime First Edition Cover 1929.jpg

Image:Partners in Crime First Edition Cover 1929.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Dustjacket blurb

The blurb is taken from the dustjacket issued in 1929. This page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights) states that "The UK Copyright service has a good summary. The legal basis is the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, and subsequent modifications and revisions, details at Jenkins IP In particular for literary, artistic works, copyright ends 70 years after the last surviving author dies or if unknown, 70 years after creation or publication." which means that a blurb issued 78 years ago by an unknown author is no longer in copyright--Jtomlin1uk 09:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Good point - I've been having to remove so much blurb from recent titles that I must have been getting "Blurb" drunk. Please excuse my overzealousness. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:41, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

No problems! I intend to go on adding the blurbs until "Cards on the Table for 1936 and then stop (until 1/1/08 that is!)--Jtomlin1uk 10:03, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. Can I suggest a little "note to editors" about the blurb. to show copyright has been considered. Something like <!--n.b. Due to the age of this edition, this blurb is no longer subject to copyright -->. How does that sound. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good -will do!--Jtomlin1uk 10:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
