[edit] Determine if the image meets our fair use policy
Since the image contains copyrighted material, it can only be used on Wikipedia under the terms of the fair use policy.
Is the image itself the subject of the article? For example, if the image is The Mona Lisa, is the article about the painting The Mona Lisa rather than about the person?
[edit] Yes
[edit] No, but
- No, but the photograph illustrates a historic event that cannot be conveyed in words and no free image could be found or created that would serve the same purpose.
- No, but the image is a small piece of a larger copyrighted work, like a computer game or television program, the image itself will be discussed in the article, and what is shown could not be conveyed with words. Also, no free image could be found or created that would serve the same purpose.
- No, but the image is a school’s, company’s or team’s official logo.
