Image licensing
I don't want to WP:BITE, but next time you try to release someone else's copyrighted work into the public ___domain, I'm speedying it. Please read up on Image use more carefully before uploading another image. Thanks.--SarekOfVulcan 22:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
That image was not copyrighted. Punk-Lova 22:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, User:Punk-Lova. A claim that the image of a recently-released book cover is not copyrighted is pretty difficult to believe. Does the book come from a publisher involved in some radical new approach to licensing, or is it possible that you may be confused about United States copyright law? In either case, without any evidence to the contrary, User:SarekOfVulcan is quite right that we cannot accept images that have no copyright information. Thanks for understanding.

- There is an image tag used for book cover images {{bookcover}}. It says that the image is (or is presuemed to be) copyrighted by the publisher of the book, but it may be used under Fair use in an article about the book. Book cover images should normally be tagged this way and used only on articels about the book, or possibly on articles about the artist who created the cover. It is very rare for a commercially published book cover not to be under copyright at the time of publication. DES (talk) 23:41, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- There are pictures of book covers on book articles such as Harry Potter and Narnia, so I don't see why you threaten me and not them.Punk-Lova 16:26, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- Bad example. Note that Image:Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.jpg has the bookcover template which you just tried to remove from the bookcovers you uploaded. --SarekOfVulcan 18:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- Then why don't you go and bother them instead of me. Anyway, I just edit in Wikipedia so people can find articles and get information, and if you want me to leave, then I will and who ever wants to read what I would have written will just have to wait untill someone else writes it.

- Ummm... why should I go bother them when they did it the right way? And nobody said that they wanted you to leave, just that you need to follow the rules here.--SarekOfVulcan 19:08, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Might be easier to use the templates than replicating the wiki markup.
