Article
- The exact name of the Wikipedia article in which the media is to be used (unlinked, as the template will link automatically).
Description
- A description of the copyrighted material.
Always include the copyright holder here.
Source
- Where you acquired the copyrighted material, or how you recreated it.
Portion
- How much copyrighted material is used? The amount used must not make the work as a whole less valuable to the copyright holder.
Low resolution
- Is the material in a lower resolution that would be unlikely to impact the copyright owner's ability to resell or otherwise profit from the work? For
raster images
, this would be strictly the
resolution
(in pixels) of the picture used; for
vector graphics
, this would involve the level of detail in the image; for audio, this would be the
bit rate
and
sample resolution
used.
Purpose
- How does the media contribute significantly to the article(s) in which it is used? The use of the media must not interfere with the media's original purpose.
Replaceability
- Explain why sourced text or equivalent
free content
media (perhaps to be obtained or created) could not adequately convey the article subject. However, if a free content or derivative found, then it is used to explain is it replaceable or not. If replaceable, explain why it can be replaced and a free derivative's link or
nominate it for speedy deletion
as a violation of the
first criterion of non-free content criteria
.
Other information
- If applicable, provide any other information that justifies the current use of this non-free media. This variable is optional, and can be blank or removed.

Derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the book cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the publisher or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

Purpose
=
The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (the book). It illustrates educational articles about the book from which the cover illustration was taken.

Replaceability

There is no free equivalent of this book cover, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
|
Other information
=
The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book.
